My band (Walken) recorded a quick + dirty live demo at the Dane Centre end of 2000. The guy there was completely nuts, told us about the old days of rock and how the bass has to be on the left of the drums or he'd kill us.
He was the campest homophobe I've ever met too. Hated Molly Meldrum. He wouldn't shut up about it. And he simply couldn't understand why we'd want the vocals in one channel and the music in the other (it was a two channel mixer). I've heard a few bands go on about this guy.
We never played there again.
The photo at this URL was taken in one of the studios... probably the one we jammed in. Eeeek.

I feel dirty.
That's gotta be the most bizarre thing I've read in a long time. At least the Nazi's in Adelaide are just on the old-fashioned "Stop the asian invasion!" bandwagon.
Molly Meldrum's gay?
I'm queer as a eight dollar note!

On a similar note, supposedly (according to a poster I saw) the Birmingham hotel in Collingwood has Nazi meetings and a Nazi band there. So next time you are stuck for somewhere to toast Hitler's birthday and remember the fallen at Waco, head down to the corner of Johnston and Smith streets!
