Release Notes:
he two heavyweight champions of Australian rock, Tex
Perkins and Tim Rogers, have joined forces. As their
menacing two-headed, hookah pipe and stubby wielding
caricature suggests, TnT is a dangerous combination
- imagine Bon Scott and Mick Jagger together, or Tim
Hemensley and Motorhead's Lemmy teaming up. As the
saying from the classic AC/DC song goes, it's
dynamite. God help a heckler who takes on these two
lanky larrikins and their fiery quick wits.
So how did this dream duo come about?
Sick of all of the baggage that comes with a full
scale tour, they dreamt of the old days, when poor
and unknown, they would drive around the country -
on their own or with some mates - and play in the
front bar of pubs.
"It's so typical of all of the things I do," says
Perkins. "It starts out as a bit of a lark and an
excuse to get some beers and some cash and suddenly
it becomes a serious concern."
"The thought of going to see someone play acoustic
always curdles my milk,'' says Rogers. "So every
show we do, we know we have to make it something
more than a couple of guys with acoustic guitars."
What makes it so special is the reverence the T's
have for each other's work - and the chance for the
two big personalities to play a supporting role for
once. Tim can't believe he gets to play on the
Aussie working class classic Pay Cheques. Tex shed a
tear when he played on Tim's Paragon Cafe.
They're dirty, mean and mighty unclean, they're
wanted men. Whether it's just the lads and two
battered acoustic guitars, or whether they are
wiedling the might of an orchestra, TNT is a force
to be reckoned with. Watch them explode.
