Hey there, Indy Outers - could each of you please post details of the first concert you ever went to and the first album you ever bought for our Contributors' Corner Rockwizz moment. Any other ideas for Contributors Corner?

Elmo Phillips: "I met up with my German sister-in-law in New York. She was complaining that they couldn't get good bagels in Munich. I said ''Well, whose fault is that?'"

The law Priests it is a band from Melbourne. I would like to ask a opinion

"The Currency are born of a proud lineage of convicts, bushrangers, stowaways and scoundrels. Combining punk rock and roll with celtic folk, these lads and lasses take up where legendary bands like 'Weddings Parties Anything' and 'Midnight Oil' left off by reviving the colonial folk ballad tradition. It's a rollicking six piece orchestra that combines folk instruments with a fire cracker punk rhythm section boasting ex Living End drummer Travis Demsey. Fiddle, accordion, tin whistle, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar play a mix of of jigs and reels, waltzes, oz rock and punk that keeps the crowd dancing like crazy dingoes."

Says who? Them, on their website. The Cuurency can sound a bit like the Pogues and there are moments when they remind you of the Cramps. Celtic folk punk.

A story about the late (Welsh) actor Richard Burton: an obnoxious American once met him and said "we have something in common! My ancestors were Scottish and so we are both celts", pronouncing it 'selts'. Burton came back with "I'm the selt. You're the sunt." Imagine having that sort of lightning wit.

Back to The Currency - they are due to play the Evelyn in Fitzroy on May 23rd. I think we should make an indy outy excursion to see them.
