Perth Blues Club

WA’s own Pink and White Bridge (PWB) are now working as a five-piece band fronted by award-winning singer/songwriters Craig Pinkney, Paul White and Anthony Bridge. Having supported the likes of Billy Joel, Chris Isaak and Joshua Kadison to name a few, PWB are as familiar to the concert environment as the local pub gig. Between them they have won over a dozen song writing awards.
After a long hiatus, early 2012 will see the return of PWB to the WA music scene. In the works is the band’s next album, the first for some time, which is due for release in mid-2012.

Supporting Pink and White Bridge are Morgan Bain and Shakey Jake.

A PBC favourite, Pugsley Buzzard is a piano player and singer with a distinctive sound. He plays funky New Orleans
style grooves, barrelhouse blues, stride, boogie, and some modern stylings mixed in all together forming a mindblowing
gumbo of sound oozing with tantalizing improvisation. Imbibe!

Pugsley Buzzard Trio will be supported by Daniel Champagne and Moonshine Sugar.

Since the late sixties, Chain has been the most influential blues/rock band in Australia. They have put an indelible stamp of an
Australian style on blues music that no other act has done.

Although they individually and collectively learnt the music of the American greats and were influenced by the
British blues of the sixties, they interpreted blues in a way no one had done before… and they were different in other
ways too!

Their chart success in 1971 was generated by their following, not a record company push. They became
known for their dedication to original music and were, in a sense, a reaction to the mindless copying of overseas
acts that so many Australian bands indulged in at the time.

For more than the past decade, the lineup of Matt Taylor, Phil Manning, Barry Harvey and Dirk Dubois (bass)
has been a constant one. Matt Taylor continues to front Chain in his entertaining laconic style, and collectively
the band has the relaxed cohesion that comes from a lifetime of playing.

They are still as original as ever and are credited with establishing ‘Oz Blues’ as a bonafide stylistic variation of
its American father.

Chain will play two sets and will be supported by Benny Walker.
