One Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-American Date

One Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-American Date

With more to come one would assume for a ‘Global’ tour. Once more dates are locked in, I might think about releasing the word ‘global’ from its quotation marks. Seems like quite the 80s fest, doesn’t it? It’s quite the line-up, that’s for sure! If times were different, I might have even been able to…

Minds Music Monday – Bootleg Beaut

Minds Music Monday – Bootleg Beaut

Forty two years ago yesterday, Simple Minds played a gig at the Musicians Club in Sydney to a lively and enthusiastic crowd. As one would imagine for a gig in the Australian summer, the venue was steamin’ like a sauna. The small auditorium filled with sweaty young things. Thanks to recent photographic sharing and memories…

Simple Minds Add New Dates to ‘Global’ Tour 2024

Simple Minds Add New Dates to ‘Global’ Tour 2024

A group of summer festival dates has been announced this morning, including three dates for the UK. Sadly I am becoming one of THOSE fans, as the nearest in proximity to me is Scarborough and I won’t be able to justify that kind of travel expense (also, between you, me and the lamppost, I’ll be…

Bloody Aussies And Their Impertinent Questions! Jim and Iva Oz TV Interview

Bloody Aussies And Their Impertinent Questions! Jim and Iva Oz TV Interview

Seems as if the wee Icehouse SM colab cover of Get It On is getting much more promo “back home” than it is here. Anyway, good that the little clip was put up on YouTube to see. The tour will be “wilder” than 1981? Lol. I highly doubt it! Given the kind of stuff they’d…

Get It On – Icehouse and Simple Minds

Get It On – Icehouse and Simple Minds

Well well well – look what we have here! I guess that’s why Sarah went to Nice a few weeks back, to lay down her vocals for this. Gotta say, it ain’t bad! Nostalgia tripping to the max, hey boys? Even right down to that fab Roadrunner magazine photo. Click the image to take a…

A Kerrsday/Band Photo Special – Curtesy of John Gresham

A Kerrsday/Band Photo Special – Curtesy of John Gresham

These photos are AMAZING! Taken of the band during their inaugural tour of Australia in 1981. I just wanted to share these seeing as it’s Kerrsday and the colour photos feature mainly Jim on his own. The final two are my favourites. The colour one has such an atmosphere to it. They’re just stunning photos….

Minds Music Monday – Happy Anniversary Barrowland and Waterfront

Minds Music Monday – Happy Anniversary Barrowland and Waterfront

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the reopening of the Barrowland Ballroom as a world renown music venue, and all thanks to Simple Minds choosing to film their Waterfront video there. The day is one that has gone down in local fan history as not only did the band film the video but also rewarded…

In Pursuit Of Better (Personal and Sort Of ‘Off Topic’)

In Pursuit Of Better (Personal and Sort Of ‘Off Topic’)

Last year I decided to rekindle my former personal blog which used to be called ‘Antipodean – The Right Side Up’. That title seemed dated as I wanted the blog to be more about the now and my new life in Scotland and my university studies, so with the revamp I decided on giving it…
