Tex Perkins, is there anything this man cannot do? What a year its been with his white clad Ladyboyz, black clad Johnny Cash shows, writing an evocative soundtrack whilst getting together his collection of past music out on show.
A sold out night at the Prince and the punters can feel the celebration in the air. Behind the stage on a large screen a small movie consisting of items knocking over items which is rather amusing (kind of like that car commercial) till the noise levels reach above natural ear listening capacity to which all the crowd put fingers on ears and this screen continues on till the boys enter on stage. I must add that the screen is kept going throughout the night bearing pictures of objects, snow and couples having sex!
Once the small movie in finished, smoke machine fills the stage and out come the band - Gus Agars on drums, Charlie Owen on almost everything, James Cruickshank on keys and guitar and Joel Silbershier on bass and not forgetting Tex the saturated crooner on vocals.
Tonight we're given many songs over the many genres of Tex Perkins. Half Of Nothing (TNT), Real Love (Dark Horses), It Won't Last (The Cruel Sea) and Speaks Different Language (solo). All unleashed with pure Tex charisma with lashings of spunk from Joel, edgy beats from Gus, twangy sounds from Charlie and glistening backing vocals from James. A show to never be missed because above all Tex is an entertainer and needs to be seen, as often as possible.
