australian fans


slave to zep

Recommended Posts

Hey all! I am a fellow Australian fan and, in the words of my sister, I've just moved from one side of the country where nothing happens, to the other. From WA to Tasmania. <_<

But anyway, it's all good and I'd also love to be included in any plans ever made to meet up since it's not that expensive to go up to the mainland...I think.

Thanks

Beth.

Reggie, IOTA from the Rocky Horror Show???? :blink: Really? I saw him at the show last Saturday night! He is such a brilliant performer. I enjoyed his performance so much.

I would be interested in the show at The Basement, though.... ;)

I know that Blacktown is so handy for you, but last time it cost me 80 bucks for a taxi to get at the gig at the Albion Hotel!!! :D

I have only ever seen iOTA at the Zep tributes and he has a great voice combined with much stage presence.

Cactus, if you have the chance, go and see IOTA performing at the Rocky Horror Show.

He is absolutely fantastic. And the show too!

His presence at the Zep tributes is quite new to me. Who would have ever thought.. :rolleyes:

Has he been doing this for long?

He definitely did the 2005 show, and possibly 2006, but not last year.

Q: Are there killer bees in Australia?

A: Not yet, but for you, we'll import them.

Oops, sorry, Slave. I didn't mean it that way. It wasn't your fault. We could have caught the train that time, but we were running late and as I didn't want to miss the gig , I chose to catch the taxi. ;) don't worry about it!

I would love to come to the show at tha Laycock theatre. When is it on?
