25.01.2022 Hey guys n gals... I know you havent heard much from us lately, but dont worry... were all enjoying our rest lol. Ive noticed this video is doing the rounds on FB at the moment, so I will put it here for you guys to have a listen to, and so you dont forget us. From our second CD... an Ipswich favourite... Judy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbgNMPFoFpI
23.01.2022 First time in Adelaide, but hopefully not the last... The Linelockers are where it's at when it comes to Rockin' Tunes and cool grooves... get on it.
23.01.2022 Update from Trater Records folks... wont be long now!
23.01.2022 What England means to us, summed up in one photo!
21.01.2022 Dont forget this one folks... Its gonna be huge! We love Ballarat, we love Twang, we love Beer... err.. OK... well the beer thing hasnt really got anything to do with it, but hey... well probably have a few while we are there, so I guess its OK to mention it. Hope to see you there for this awesome weekend! Ooh yeah
21.01.2022 Hey folks... I know we said we wanted a break this year, but this is not what we had in mind at all. I really wanted to get out and see all the other rockin bands in Adelaide this year, drink, dance, and be merry... now Im stuck at home with her indoors and there doesnt seem to be an end in immediate sight. Furthermore... we had planned to learn a heap of new songs, both covers and originals, so when we came back wed have a fresh "bunch o tracks" to play for yall. Well c...urrent restrictions are making that hard too, but well get there soon enough no doubt. Im still writing and we are still talking about what we are going to do as soon as we are able. Anyway... I just thought Id check in with you all and send out good vibes from us all here in Lincoln Land. We hope you are all keeping well and staying sane in these strange days, and we look forward to seeing you all just as soon as we possibly can. In the meantime Im gonna drop one of our most popular videos on youtube here for you to watch and share around if you feel like it. Filmed by Liv Parker and edited by Emily Barnett all those years ago, its turned out to be our most viewed track by a country mile. This is the original acoustic version, but last year we recorded it again with electric guitars at Chapel Lane, and although this old version has been super popular, I personally think the latest recording leaves it for dead. Hopefully that will be out soon for download on CD Baby and iTunes for as we are having more delays with with physical CD production... due to this stoopid virus! Urghh! Anyway... stay greasy folks... and keep rockin... even if its just in your lounge room for now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BLG5Q5DngI
21.01.2022 Thanks to those who came out to HQ last night. A pretty good crowd all things considered. Thanks to Nobodys Sweethearts for a super cool set of Western Swing... My first time seeing them and certainly not my last. If you havent caught them yet... get on it at your first available opportunity... amazing! Lucky Seven of course... our flag ship band... the pride of the fleet... the guys that set the bar out of everybodys reach with a standard of musicianship many of us will n...ever achieve. Always a pleasure to share a night with these guys and always uplifting to watch them play. As for us... we decided to do a full set of original material. We more often than not prop our sets up with covers to keep everybody comfortable, but last night we felt it was time to bang out a set of our own music... and to be honest... Im pretty happy with the response, so thank you for filling the floor and and for the appreciation you showed for our offerings. Next Saturday night well be doing 3 sets at Parafield Gardens Club for our mate Garys birthday, but its an open night and everyone is welcome, so come on in and have yourself a drink and a dance.. wed love to see you there. Ooh yeah!
20.01.2022 It’s on like Donkey Kong!
17.01.2022 Just wanted to share these pictures of our good friend in France, Jacques. We spent a couple of days with him and the rest of the gang at the Rockin Breizh Club while we were in Europe. What an amazing time we had with them all..brilliant bunch of people! Heres hoping we will get back there to see them again one day!
17.01.2022 Well guys n gals... we are still waiting for the hard copies of our latest CD to land on our shores, but we do have some potentially good news at last for those that have been asking, and that is that you can now listen to, or purchase our new CD through iTunes and Apple Music, with Spotify to come soon... plus a few others. Check this site out for links folks... hope you enjoy our latest offering! https://thelincolns.hearnow.com/
16.01.2022 Can't wait to play with these guys again! Ooh yeah!
15.01.2022 And just like that... the UK and Europe gigs are done and dusted! Friday night in Ipswich was absolutely amazing... those guys n gals know how to make you feel good, and they did not disappoint. Going the extra mile for a pre gig get together on Thursday night, then a Ted walk on the Friday before the gig was above and beyond anything we would ever expect! Thanks to our great mate Les for putting that on and to everyone else that was involved in organizing it. We had a ball... with you all. The gig itself was the icing on the cake. Raucous support all night long finishing with Teds bopping on stage with us at the end of the night! It does not get any better! Harvey Crane... youve done it again! Thank you my friend... we appreciate the effort you go to and the equipment you provide us... its second to none! Our final show of the tour was in Shoreham on sea and once again we were blessed with a full house! Even had a bit of rock n roll royalty in the audience... which made it all the more special. Pete and Donna always put on great shows, and this was no exception. Thanks for a great finish to our tour guys, and thanks to Lady Luck Lexy and The Riverside Boys for their great set and the use of their gear... without the generosity of these other bands we would be in a right pickle! So many friendships made again on this amazing journey, and many more to come I hope. Its been the trip of a lifetime. I cant explain it... the emotion, the highs from the receptions weve had everywhere we have been... you name it, everything has been brilliant! We have exceeded every expectation we may have ever had, and dare I say we are pretty damn proud of ourselves! Thank you England! Thank you Europe! Its been one of the most uplifting experiences of our rock n roll lives! Next stop, Victor Harbor! Hope to see you there! Until then... keep rockin. Ooh yeah!
14.01.2022 OK guys n gals... we have about 100 copies of our vinyl release available for shipping around Australia only... if you fancy a copy, they are available for online purchase @ $23.50 which includes a P&P including signature on delivery. There will be no more printed, so grab one while you can. $15 at gigs if still available... no holds Im afraid. http://thelincolns.com.au/?page_id=160
14.01.2022 Posted a new song: "SO VERY TIRED" https://www.reverbnation.com/q/7jqh3f Another teaser from our upcoming CD. Kind of sums up how things are sometimes I think.
13.01.2022 What a great night we had at Pennys Hill Winery last night where we did our bit for the Eat to Cure Pink Breast Cancer Fundraiser. A great crowd of supporters came along and enjoyed a fun evening of music, fine wine, tasty local beer and first class food, and thanks to their generosity they managed to raise a total of $10242.97 that is going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Congratulations to Haley and every one involved for the effort and organising that was put i...n to making the night a success... and thank you for having us along as part of the entertainment for the evening. It was great to see a different and younger than usual crowd digging the music... even if it did take a few beers and wines to get some of them on the floor. lol Ooh yeah!
13.01.2022 Morning ladies and gentleman... no good news here Im afraid, but we are in need of your help. Last night our trailer was stolen with our primary PA in it... every speaker, lead, amp etc that we generally use for our shows was in the trailer. Its a 6 x 4 covered caged trailer with a blue or green cover on it... registration YEP136. We have loads of Mackie and JBL speakers in there, plus mixing desks, guitar amp, bass amp, cables, laptop, samsung tablet, stands, lights, micro...phones... you name it. If you see the trailer getting around or you hear of some cheap PA equipment, please let us know so we can get on to it ASAP. We have back up equipment to get us through the upcoming shows, but we are in need of our gear back ASAP. I dont think our insurance company will be happy, but at least we are insured. Please spread the word for us... Thank you
13.01.2022 Another weekend of cool rockin memories is over, starting on Friday night with our great friends in the North at The Party in The Barn, and finishing with an unbelievable night last night with The Jets! A dream come true for some of us... to actually share a stage with legends of our scene is one thing, but for them to let us use their equipment, do our sound, and treat us as equals is another. No no... were not getting ahead of ourselves. We dont consider ourselves their e...quals, but thats how they made us feel. So down to earth, friendly and accommodating! Can you believe we were originally asked to headline this show and play last?? Well... its true, but it didnt feel right that legends on the scene should be supporting a Johnny come lately act like us, so we insisted we played first. Plus... can you imagine the pressure of having to follow musicianship of that calibre lol. The club was absolutely rammed and the atmosphere was electric all night long! One of the best nights of our trip so far and one we will never forget! Thank you so much to David Williamson for putting his trust in us and letting us be a part of another one of his great shows, and to all of you who made us feel like we have become a part of this amazing rockin scene and family you have here in the UK. We are sure gonna miss you all when we leave! We still have 2 more shows to go in Ipswich and Shoreham before we head home so youre not getting rid of us just yet, hopefully we will see some of you there! Ooh yeah!
13.01.2022 Well guys and gals... the year is coming to an end, and what an amazing year its been. Weve covered a lot of miles around the globe this year and enjoyed every minute of it. We are truly blessed to be able to do what we enjoy doing and we pinch ourselves constantly. The last two weekends have been no exceptions... two sell out shows last weekend in Melbourne with The Fender Benders as part of the Alley Catz weekender, and a sell out show in Brisbane on the weekend just gone... with The Honky Tonk Rockers for Breakaways Rock n Roll Club. Two awesome bands to share the stage with, and great friends to boot. Amazing! Thanks to everyone that came along and supported those events, and in fact who came to all our shows throughout this amazing year. Without your support we have nothing, so to us you are everything! We still have a couple of shows left this year... Dec 28th with Lucky Seven, and then New Years Eve at the Tonsley Hotel, before we start our year of rest in 2020. Thats right folks... we are cutting right back on gigs next year to give you a break from us, and us a bit of balance in our lives. We generally average around 40 shows a year, but have set the limit at 15 next year (I only wanted 12 lol), but thats all we are doing. We will still be writing and hopefully recording, but we will not be gigging much next year at all. Im sure there are plenty of you guys that will appreciate the break from us anyway In other news... we are hoping to get the new CD here by around Christmas time. Keep an eye out for that one. We are pretty happy with the variety on this one, with some songs recorded here in Adelaide and some in the UK. That makes it pretty special to us at least, so hopefully you guys will all agree. Got a few weeks off now leading up to Christmas, but we might see some of you around at a few private Christmas shows that weve been invited to, if not then hopefully on the 28th or NYE. After that our first public show in Adelaide will be April 25th. Ooh yeah! Stay greasy folks... and keep rockin
12.01.2022 Dont forget you can catch us at the Gumeracha Show and Shine from around 11am this Sunday folks. Weather looks great, and there will be cool cars and lots of great music to dance to from DJ Peter Panagaris, and we will be knocking out a few sets as well. Hopefully this vid from our good friend Genki Takano will get you in the mood for a jive!
12.01.2022 Hey guys n gals... I know you haven't heard much from us lately, but don't worry... we're all enjoying our rest lol. I've noticed this video is doing the rounds on FB at the moment, so I will put it here for you guys to have a listen to, and so you don't forget us. From our second CD... an Ipswich favourite... Judy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbgNMPFoFpI
10.01.2022 Just came across this clip of our last song in Holland last year. Just after the torrential rain stopped lol. What an awesome time we had though... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjZO8Hgc6NQ
10.01.2022 Last call for the Swing Jive Ball tomorrow night with Lucky Seven and DJ Christine, and it promises to be another great night at the Gov. Its our turn to go on first, so well be on from 8pm until 9pm, so those of you who want to see us, get there early... those of you who dont want to see us can come after 9pm. Were really looking forward to this one... its gonna be hot, but thats never stopped any of us yet! Ooh yeah!
08.01.2022 Hey guys n gals... not long to go before this crackerjack night. Last year was amazing... this year promises to be much the same. Its our penultimate gig for the year, and also one of the last times well be playing publicly in Adelaide until our Anzac Show on April 25th. Our NYE show is just about sold out, so if you want tickets for either show (or both lol). get on it now before its too late. Hope to see you there.
08.01.2022 OK ladies and gentlemen... we are very proud to announce our first ever vinyl release in Australia. I say Australia, because we have already sold a heap in the UK and Europe on our recent tour, but we saved some for our good friends right here at home. We took four of our favourite tracks from our first CD and we re-recorded them the way they should have been done in the first place. The end result is a vinyl pressing that leaves the original offerings for dead. Recorded righ...t here in Adelaides premier recording studio, Chapel Lane, and pressed at one of Europes best Vinyl producers under the watchful and experienced eye of Trater Records, we now proudly present to you "Two Parts Whiskey" on vinyl. Featuring 4 original tracks: Two Parts Whiskey Mama Dont Like It Do You Remember Voodoo Doll Like youve never heard them before! Available online very soon for $15 plus postage, or from any one of our upcoming shows... starting this weekend at Victor Harbor! The vinyl is soon to be followed with a new CD, which also features these 4 tracks, plus 10 more... including 5 brand new originals yet to be released. We are looking forward to finally being able to put these songs forward as they should have been done all those years ago, but the truth is, we never really expected that people would actually want to buy our music back in those early days. Eight years on from our very first recording session, and we are continually blown away by you all. You have no idea of the appreciation we have for everyone that has supported us this far, and hopefully we will give you reason to do so well into the future... we are truly blessed. We will be rocking out at Victor Harbor from around 2:30 on Sunday afternoon on Warland Reserve, and we are looking forward to seeing all our friends once again. Hope to see you there.
07.01.2022 Hey folks! This gig is now officially sold out! Thanks to all who have purchased tickets..looking forward to a cracking night!
06.01.2022 Thanks to everyone that has sent us well wishes and offers of support for our missing equipment... yes its still missing, but we are indeed feeling the love from everyone with your messages. So to continue with the feel good vibe of the week, I just want to bring your attention to an event being run by a good friend of ours who is doing her bit for breast cancer research in Australia with her upcoming fund raiser "Eat to Cure Pink". The event is being held at Pennys Hill ...Winery on October 12th, and there are still a few tickets left. We are donating our time to the cause and doing 3 sets as part of the evenings entertainment, so there is no excuse for you to not get up and have a boogie. There are still a few tickets left, so if you are looking for something to do, why not come along for a dance, a nibble, and a few drinks... all in the name of a great cause! https://www.eattocurepink.org.au/about
06.01.2022 Don't forget this one folks... It's gonna be huge! We love Ballarat, we love Twang, we love Beer... err.. OK... well the beer thing hasn't really got anything to do with it, but hey... we'll probably have a few while we are there, so I guess it's OK to mention it. Hope to see you there for this awesome weekend! Ooh yeah
05.01.2022 Happy New Year to all our friends across the world. We hope 2020 is an amazing year for you all. For us its going to be a quiet one, but its one we probably need. The last few years have seen us traveling regularly across this great land of ours, and also overseas on 8 separate occasions taking in the UK, Europe and NZ. I can assure you that we are absolutely jiggered! I know we will miss playing regularly, but I dont think it will do any of us any harm you guys included.... On average we play around 40 shows per year, but next year we are doing around 12, and very few of those are currently in Adelaide. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder so lets hope that is true lol. We will still be writing and most likely recording, and although we are still waiting for CD number 5 to arrive here in Australia, we are already thinking ahead to number 6. Stay tuned for our latest release as it will be announced on this page as soon as its available. Before I sign off though, I just need to mention the amazing night we had last night sharing New Years Eve with some of our absolute bestest friends. Seriously you guys were just superb last night and I think together we absolutely rocked the Tonsley Hotel until the foundations were shaking. I was told it was their biggest night since 1996, so well done to all of you for coming out and supporting the night and making it such a great party. Seriously buzzing today!! I know squeezing 400 people on to that dance floor was hard work, but having you all packed in close really made such a great atmosphere. It was such a feel good night and we couldnt have farewelled 2019 in a better fashion than with you guys. so thank you from the hearts of our bottoms for making it so fantastic. Also a special thanks to Julie for getting up and banging out a few fantastic numbers with us pretty bloody amazing for a first time on stage methinks, and a nice addition to the nights entertainment. Ooh yeah! We will see you somewhere soon on this great scene of ours probably at the bar!
04.01.2022 Hey guys n gals... Dont forget you can catch us at Legends this Friday night. I think there are still a few tickets left, so get in quick and secure your spot. Hope to see you there. Also... Although we are currently out of t-shirts thanks to the huge demand we experienced in Europe, they are still available in the colour and style of your choice through redbubble. https://www.redbubble.com//13919252-the-lincolns-merchandi
04.01.2022 Hey guys and gals... Been a long time between drinks! Actually that's not true, but it's been a long time between gigs that's for sure. We are hoping to give you an update for October 3rd at Parafield very very soon. Next few days in fact... so please keep the date in mind for the ANZAC reloaded event. Hope you are all keeping as well as you can in these times of trouble. Let's hope the light at the end of the tunnel keeps getting brighter for us.
03.01.2022 Hey guys n gals... At this stage we are not selling any more tickets to our ANZAC event as it appears that the recent announcements will mean that it wont be able to go ahead on the planned date. That said... we live in hope for a couple of weeks to see how things play out. If the event cannot go ahead on the planned date, we will be looking to run the show again in August / September, so if you hold on to your ticket, it guarantees you entry at the current ticket price of $...15 Once we are certain the event will be cancelled by the venue, we will set up a new date to which you can either book for, or you can produce your ticket for a refund. If you have any queries or concerns, you can contact us through the normal channels and we will help you accordingly. Thanks for your support and understanding in these strange days!
02.01.2022 Hey guys n gals... if anyone fancies spending NYE with us at Parafield Gardens... watch this space... better still, contact the club. Event should be up soon! Ooh yeah!
02.01.2022 Morning Guys n Gals... Just a reminder to you all about the Lincolns Harringtons. We have had a lot of people asking for them recently, so we are putting in another order in the very near future. If you want one, please let us know in the next 2 - 3 days and we can add them to our order. Sizing is Small to XXL, and as per our previous orders, they are high quality Merc Jackets, not cheap imitations. Price - $160 embroidered. Note: Wearing these jackets MAY (or may not) prevent coronavirus!
01.01.2022 Sad news in the rockin world today with the passing of Cavan Grogan! We were lucky enough to see him perform several times, but even luckier to have shared the stage with him in Finland... not to mention countless beers and whiskeys into the wee small hours with the entire band! A big hole has been left in the hearts of almost every Teddy Boy and girl around the world! RIP Cavan Grogan!
