CRICKETERS

AT THE PUB

Filthy McFadden's proudly sponsors Allan Hall and the North Canberra Gungahlin Cricket Club.

Latest Match Report from:

Sat 6th & 13th Feb

v Tuggeranong at Chisholm 1

"Day 1:

Friday night it hosed down, meaning for the first time this season we
could indulge in a game of Cricket Russian Roulette at the Filth. CRR is
a simple game where you pretend you don't have to play cricket the next
day while sampling the different beers on tap at Filthys. The game
finishes when you turn up to cricket the next day and find out whether
it's washed out (in which case you win CRR) or whether you have to start
on time (you lose).

We arrived at Chisholm, the only place in Canberra where it didn't rain
the previous evening... Luckily we won the toss and had a bowl, and
before long Tuggies were 2/7. Unfortunately several hours later they
were 6/320 odd... The highlight of the day was undoubtedly when skipper
McGurk passed the ball to me for some right-arm partnership-breaking
magic that only "Preparation H" can provide. My two overs yielded 14
runs, including several fours, some rank full tosses, and some bouncers
which reached shin height, and one edge which surprised our keeper so
much he missed it...

Day 2:

The weather forcast was rain with a chance of even more rain, but after
last week's CRR loss I played it safe with just a few Filthy sneakies on
Friday night.

I woke up to see pouring rain outside and a bunch of messages on my
phone to say that every Northies game was cancelled. Every Northies game
that is, except mine. In Chisholm. Woo... So off we went.

The pitch was wet, the rain was constant, but Tuggies understandably
wanted to wait around as they had 300 odd runs on the board. Two hours
of poker later, the match was declared washed out and Simon "The Walrus"
Fitzsimons was declared the winner of poker."

Next Match:

Sat 20th & 27th Feb vs Creek at Stirling.

FIRE ON THE HILL

Live at Filthy's

Saturday 12th December, 8pm onwards

‘…a sound which is diverse, dynamic and at times, well, odd.’ Emma Gibson - City News (Canberra)



Fire On The Hill are a roots/rock band currently based in Canberra. Their sound is passionate, lyrical, sonically expansive and often quite serious with dark & dirty overtones. Some of their influences include (in no particular order): Pink Floyd, Tom Waites, Hendrix, Wilco, Elliot Smith, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and The Beatles.


Both Aaron and Lachlan sing lead vocals and write songs for the band. They each have their own distinctive sound. As a collective of experienced working musicians, the band draws influence from a diverse range of roots based styles, but with a broad approach that blurs the lines.

Some of Fire On The Hill’s recent noteworthy achievements:

• Showcase artist at the National Folk Alliance Convention 2005

• Played as part of the Brunswick Music Festival (support act for Sophie Koh), Melbourne, April 2006

• Played at Canberra Fringe (National Multicultural Festival) 2005 & 2006

• Support act for touring Canadian group Nine-Mile, ANU bar, May 2006 .


 

BHAGAVAD GUITARS

Live at Filthy's

Thursday 10th December, 8pm onwards

After forming, morphing, falling, stalling and reforming the Bhagavad Guitars were the nearly next big thing back in the late 80's. Right on the cusp, as their major debut was set to be released, they imploded.

Now, against the odds, they are getting the old band back together again. Drawing on the two albums and three eps they officially released, the Bhagavad Guitars find the best thing about being timeless fishes out of water is that they sound just as in/out of place now as they did back then.
