For reasons out of  The Suspects control Shanahans Family Hotel in Bathurst are giving bands a rest on Friday nights. Consequently the gig arranged for June 19 has been cancelled. We will however return to Shanahans later in the year…apologies for any inconvenience. The Usual Suspects will however play nearby-ish Rylstone the following night June 20…always a big night at Rylstone

With Paul minutes away from landing back in Sydney he will hit the ground running tomorrow night at the mighty Royal Hotel, Springwood. It will have been roughly a month since The Usual Suspects have played but we are pretty confident Comrade Paul will slip back into music like he never was away. With a huge June we will get used to it once again.

The rest of us have continued rehearsing some new songs  and, without a drummer, have turned the band into a folk group. If you are a fan of Peter, Paul and Mary, The Seekers, Donovan and Melanie…we’re gonna rork!!!

We wish our wonderful friend Steve a massive happy birthday. Steve is 23 today…Happy Birthday mate.

The Usual Suspects are taking a short break while our beloved Pal is overseas. But things are sill busy. The gallery function of the web site has (finally) been fixed and we will be adding new photos very soon.

On Pauls return we are flat stick. A day after he gets back we have a double header (first weekend in June), with Friday 5th June at the Royal and Saturday 6th June at Leonay Sporting Club.

See you all soon

Well we will finally get back to the Royal Hotel in Springwood this Friday as we play our last gig for a month. Paul is off overseas for a month and The Usual Suspects will not be playing in hhis absence.

We last played in Springwoods premiere live venue in January and due to a series of time clashes we haven’t been back.

So come along. We will have new songs, birthdays and of course, rock.

See you there,

Dave

Plenty going on in Suspects Land. We have landed a couple of new venues, which has see some new gigs (see Gig page 2009). This Saturday sees us back at Leonay Golf Club, which we love.  A lovely friend of ours, Liesje, is celebrating her birthday so that will bring a special touch to our night…

We are also back at the lovely Globe Hotel at Rylstone at the end of this month…a gig we are really looking forward to.

May is a touch quiet with Paul outta action and overseas for a few weeks. But then its back into it the day after he gets back with a double header and a month of straight up rock.

We also have some new songs n the offing….which we are always excited about. The song rotation policy working a treat at the moment.

It feels like ages since we have played. We have been busy, new songs, new gear, new outlook…but it feels like ages.

We play the Leonay Golf Club this Saturday and it is shaping up to be a great night. We are itching to play…

Come along, bring a friend, hell bring all of ‘em….

See you there

Dave

The Mum of honarary Suspect Michelle gets maried this evening. To mark the celebration Dave will accompany Michelle on the beautiful Springsteen song, If I should Fall Behind

There is plenty happening with The Usual Suspects getting even more organised. We have updated some older equiptment, started a slew of new songs, and enjoyed immensely the gigs we have played so far this year. The Commercial Hotel, Parramatta and The Globe Hotel, Rylstone have been new venues for us and have proved to be awesome nights.

See you ’round soon
