Tacos and Cream
Published: February 21, 2024
Not sour cream… sweet Cream. Sweet, roaring, thumping, screaming Cream.
Got a bit carried away. Sorry. Here’s the post:
Working backwards — my favourite method of peregrination, apart from doing The Cecil (Cecil Sideways — the crab):
If you are anywhere up in the hills this Saturday evening, Macclesfield Hills way, stick your head into the Three Brothers Arms hotel.
And, then drag the rest of your body inside for the return of Los Tacos, South Australia’s premium purveyors of Tex-Mex music — and other stuff that comes into their heads at the time of performance — who will be cooking up a storm in the Baaa Bar. I think. Yes. Probably in there.
Led by the eponymous Ian “Mr Explosion” Mitchell — be warned; he has a short fuse (thankfully, it’s also skinny) — Los tacos is/are (grammar ambivalence moment) good and entertaining.
The gig is free admission, and we freely admit that, but you will be required to buy drinks, food — if you’re hungry — and throw money at the band, because the cost-of-living is expensive these days, even for humble tacos.
However, if you are down Semaphore away on Friday night (see — working backwards), you can catch — at the Semaphore Workers’ Club — the fabulous Tribute to Cream performed by the dab-handed James “Sweet Baby” Meston on his new crowd-funded Blackie guitar, wailing and screaming in its best Eric Clapton characterisation. Denis “The Preacher” Surmon will be there, pretending he knows something about Jack Bruce‘s bass playing (Gawd ‘elp me!), and Rob “Are we rollin’” Eyers will doing a credible performance of ginger Baker’s rolls and other baked goods.
The Cream show will cost you 15 bucks which is pretty cheap for the effort the boys have put in to make this performance a stellar event. In fact it is too cheap! Far too fukking cheap! I suggest you pay more at the door or fling yeller-fins at the band so the whipped Creamers can buy a cup of winkles with salt and vinegar on the way home. Or some heroin.
So… Friday night: Tribute to Cream at the Semaphore Workers Club and…
Sat’dee night, Los Tacos at the Three Brothers Arms, Macclesfield.
Get out and get in!
Q: Anyone know what ‘eponymous’ means? It just sounded good but now I think it might be one of Mighty Mouses’ siblings.
Q2: Does anybody know what ‘siblings’ means? It just sounded good but now I’m starting to think I might need a de-esser.
