24.01.2022 There is still a handful of bookable spots left for Saturday night, either at the 4.45-6.45 or 7-9pm sittings. Call the club on 5447 1766 for details! This is a celebratory night for Tewantin Noosa RSL as it heralds the biggest back-to-normal allowable so far, so join us there and have a great night out!
22.01.2022 Gigs cancelled! Sadly folks, the fear has become more powerful than the virus! Our next gig at Bribie Is RSL is definitely off. I guess we'll hear from other venues down the track. Now maybe we can make the time to studio record some of our tunes. Stay tuned!
21.01.2022 Here's our version of a much loved Doobie Brothers tune which, by the way, has great lyrics reflecting a similarly troubled time. Michael McDonald talks about it coming together in a few minutes..'I had been talking to my sister, who was in college at the time, and she was in a social economics class or something. She was a typical college student and thought the weight of the world’s problems were solvable by those as smart ass college students. We talked about how in the inner city, the bottom was dropping out for people and they were falling through the cracks. It seemed like it was a natural marriage of ideas and melody.' Here's one for Portland!
20.01.2022 Could it be we've come through the worst and could be playing club gigs again soon (perhaps with limited seating)? Let's hope so. We're missing y'all so badly! Meanwhile, here's a reminder of what it was all about way back then: Party time at Sunshine Beach Surf Club August 2018 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch
17.01.2022 Feelin’ alright at Tewantin RSL!
16.01.2022 Here is one of our newer additions to the repertoire, from Huey Lewis, (but there are more coming!) It suits us pretty well because we're 'Hip to be Square'! https://youtu.be/I-OdKvDI4Uc
16.01.2022 How about a little sample of Claptoblues? https://youtu.be/_9zXw5xOHjw
15.01.2022 https://youtu.be/cNplvWcGokE Just in case you missed our last gig, here's a sample of sitdown sultry smoothness from the Doobie Brothers. Taking it To the Streets.
15.01.2022 Greetings all - we're playing a few tunes this afternoon (Sunday June 14th) at 3pm as guests on Homemade Jam, a new Fbook Event group promoting local music. See you there.
14.01.2022 A big thanks to all our supporters for our first live gig since March, at Tewantin Noosa RSL last night! It was a great night, the club staff did a fantastic job under difficult covid restrictions, and it was wonderful to have some semblance of 'normality' back in the club live music scene, even though there's still some way to go - like dancing, for example! All the guys chose to sit down through this performance, which perhaps helped a little in encouraging others to stay in their seats! Be patient - we will get there - and hope to see you all again very soon!
14.01.2022 Not everyone stayed the distance to midnight on NYE, no doubt for a variety of reasons! So this is for those who missed out - and for those who just like good dance music any day of the week. Tewantin Noosa RSL is always a great venue for great food, drinks, atmosphere and entertainment, so come on down on Saturday! Band starts 8pm. Table bookings advised on 5447 1766.
12.01.2022 Running on Faith - Here's another clip from the Batcave rehearsals during the Covid easing period mid 2020, when we were actually allowed to assemble in the same room. Clapton the love song balladeer, a la Claptomaniacs.
12.01.2022 Whatcha doin' Australia Day/Sunday? Whatever it is, enjoy - but save some energy to get down to Alex Surf Club for a 4.30pm start though to 8pm or later, and get into some groove with the Claptomaniacs! Great food, cold drinks and atmosphere always at Alex. It's going to be a huge one at the club - see you there!
08.01.2022 You might prefer to close your eyes and listen, no smoke and mirrors, no makeup or photoshopping, this is it folks, how we rehearse. Sorry to shatter any illusions of glamour and grandeur! :)
06.01.2022 Back at Coolum Bowls - Friday night, 7.30pm!
06.01.2022 Here's a little bit more, this time from the classic Clapton vault. Schmoozy and soulful, gotta love 'Old Love'!
04.01.2022 I remember when I was young...and my heart was unchained....https://youtu.be/wLiLipBPJTg
02.01.2022 Roll up - and be quick as there's limited seating!
02.01.2022 Here's what we used to do to amuse ourselves on a typical Saturday night. A bit of foolin' around. Just kick back and imagine you're there. https://youtu.be/G34Vx4YAZJg
01.01.2022 Here's a couple of Joe Cocker tunes at our last gig, a sit down event, seeing as dancing was banned! https://youtu.be/BRYTKUJ406Q
