Steve Gunn – Friday July 7 2017 at National Gallery of Victoria
Kokomo likes to sneak out at night and tell Missus Jones “Hey baby I’m going out to get me some culture”. Sometimes culture is code for strippers. But on this occasion, Kokomo really is out to get some culture. Honest he is. At the NGV Friday Nights with Brooklyn based guitarist/songwriter Steve Gunn. This guy plays with Kurt Vile and Hiss Golden Messenger. Feel entitled to come drink smuggled winter jacket beers with Koko and his scarf-wearing high-society pals.
All our Exes Live in Texas – Saturday July 8 2017 at Workers Club (Geelong)
H-W-L-R’s sold out and Kokomo’s not one to waste your time. So he asks that you turn your all-knowing eyes and designated driver pals towards our second city. Kokomo remembers hearing All Our Exes Live In Texas the song for the first time at a bar in Hawaii called Nashville. Kokomo solo line danced, drank whisky shots and jumbo Budweisers. All Our Exes Live In Texas the band has just released a really nice album, which also sounds really nice on Kokomo’s radio in his beat-up bright yellow Mitsubishi.
Australian Bon Jovi Show – Saturday July 8 2017 at Satellite Lounge
Speaking of wasting your time, it looks like Koko has hit the rails on this one. Squint hard and drink enough, and on a really foggy day if you had a head cold and watery eyes it could actually be Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, together again. Metres away in Wheeler’s Hills number one live music venue. Hand Koko another Bud….
