The PERTH BLUES CLUB presents
El Diablo + Deja Blues
El Diablo | 7.30pm
"Do you remember back in nineteen sixty-six? Country Jesus hillbilly blues that's where I learned my licks. It's Texas cool. It's like everything's cool. It’s just kickin’ back ridin’ this big ol' groove. It’s pass me 'nother Dos Equis and s'more of that barbeque"
El Diablo pays respect to the baddest boogie rockin' tres amigos that is ZZ TOP. Our latest set spans the band 1971 - 1994 with the best of the First Album, Rio Grande Mud, Tres Hombres, Fandango, Tejas, El Loco, Eliminator and Antenna.
See y'all at the Club for some stripped-down Texas blues and grit, and larger-than-life guitar riffs El Diablo style - Russell Bond (guitar lead vox), Drew Haswell (bass back vox), Steve Brooks (drums).
Deja Blues | 9.00pm
Deja Blues return to the Perth Blues Club with original members Alex Dixon, Richard Ellis, Darren Adair and Neil Bushby. Ric Shinnick joins the band on drums with some special guests making an appearance.
Alex Dixon first came to Perth in early eighties with the recently departed Billy Brothers. Both had jammed and hung out with Rick Steele in Auckland NZ when he was recording his solo album .In 1977 the first Hot Biscuit Band was formed to tour NZ with the new record. During the eighties several line-ups of the Perth HBB did the pub scene.
In 1987 the Indy Bar came into play with Steele’s Beat the Blues Show. This was a Wed night organised ‘Open Mike’ night with a backing band, a follow on from “Garage Band night” which ran for five years previously at the Civic Hotel on a Tues night.
Richard Ellis was part of the new talent that was discovered at the Indy Bar. He was often voted as ‘best’ new vocalist, with good guitar skills.
Beat the blues show ran until 1991 when the Blues Club was formed. Alex Dixon was the bloke who did the paper work to get the PBC incorporated and became the first President with Steele head of vice. After a couple of years Dixon returned to NZ where he has remained. On Nov 26 Dixon, Ellis and a well-known rhythm section will turn back the clock and revisit the past like only the PBC can.
