Tex Perkins and His Ladyboyz

[blackshadow]

Sunday night at Crown Casino Tex Perkins & His Ladyboyz gave their treatment to a bunch of horrific songs and they did it darned well. I can categorically declare that every cover version was better than the original.

A full set of photos from the night can be seen here (http://www.photos.blackshadow.com.au/gallery/6392073_8pXha//404340905_naXXq).


Some of the tunes given the Tex treatment were:
Alice Cooper’s You and Me
Billy Idol’s Sweet Sixteen
The Commodores’ Three Times a Lady
The Captain and Tenille’s Do That To Me One More Time
Jon English’s Hollywood Seven
Elton John’s Benny and the Jets
America’s Sandman
George Harrison’s My Sweet Lord

The white suits, the kitsch setting of Palms at Crown and a stellar line-up of musicians all added up to a great night.

C&C encouraged.

Welcome to the PA section:D The watermark is annoying, yes, but a need for Richard as he's had some issue with people stealing his photos. Some of us here are working on convincing him to change his watermark to something a little less..... what it is. Lets just say the watermark is a work in progress, but a much needed element to his work, which is just that friggin good. :D


Oh, by the way, #7 is friggin great.

Thanks Roman - James Cruickshank from The Cruel Sea is one of the Ladyboyz.

As for who needs 600x800 - a multinational ripped off a heap of my images at that resolution for use on one of their websites and I'm battling them for payment at the moment.

thats shame. richard, you'll be fine since you've got raw files.

Yes I have the RAW files and screenshots of the photos on their website. But they are playing hardball and threatening to sue the photographers involved personally for defamation or for costs for a High Court challenge overseas; so it's a little messy. It's a household multinational name and they have deep pockets to fight it but hopefully it will turn out OK.

Another solid set.
Not much to comment on, except I'd not include #2, and frame #3, 5 and probably 6 a bit higher.

they are playing hardball and threatening

Hmmm, that leaves a taste even worse then their beer does...
Hope it turns out well.
