The above is from the Melbourne concert, which I attended with my friend Texta a few weeks ago. More photos from the gig (which was absolutely phenomenal) here. The following email comes from my old mate Simmo, who was always good for a hot tip during the secretive construction period of the Bon Scott Bronze… Continue reading Blue My Socks Out of My DBs!

Latest Gossip…
Thanks to Cate from Warwick in Queensland, who sent this email a few days back, giving a glimmer of hope to fans who were worried that Bon’s bronze statue would end up gathering a layer of chip-fat and dust in the corner of the fish and chip shop: Hi Lucas – I thought you might… Continue reading Latest Gossip…
Crabsody in Blue
The Bon Scott Project is almost “officially” over. The exhibition will come down at the Fremantle Arts Centre after this weekend, and my stint as the Bon Scott Blogger will be finished. But the funny thing is, although I’ve been working on the Bon Scott Blog for six months, there’s still heaps to discover. For… Continue reading Crabsody in Blue
Mix Tape Revival
Hey fans, remember this? A while back, before the Bon Scott Project exhibition opened at the Fremantle Arts Centre, some very lucky fans among you received a limited edition cassette cover as an invitation to the show. The cover came complete with brittle plastic case, and it was impressive enough, but several people emailed me,… Continue reading Mix Tape Revival
Fireside yarns from a laid-back Fan
Just don’t call me a “die-hard”, OK! Cos I’ll take you to task live on radio (albeit in my own rather gentle way) as I did in this roooooolly laaaaaid baaaaack interview with Shamin from 2ser Radio Programme “The Fourth Estate”.

Geraldine Spins Some Bawdy Bon
Besides the amusing experience of being grilled by Richard Stubbs, my favourite radio interview about the Bon Scott Blog was on Geraldine Mellet’s show on ABC Perth. (The above photo is not me – prematurely aged by too much ear-blistering rock – but Norman Hetherington, creator of the legendary children’s TV show Mr Squiggle, having… Continue reading Geraldine Spins Some Bawdy Bon
Facca Dacca Rocks Out!
Apparently when the Bon Scott Project was announced, tribute bands from all around the world contacted the Fremantle Arts Centre (F.A.C.), offering to make their way to Freo at their own expense, and perform for free! But the arts centre decided to form its own supergroup, called FAC/DC (or facca dacca), consisting of prominent members… Continue reading Facca Dacca Rocks Out!

This is the Bon Scott Project “cassette cover”. It’s basically a jazzed-up exhibition invitation card. Here are a few pictures of the insert once you fold it out (click on ’em to see bigger): [Kudos to James and Robyn from the Fremantle Arts Centre for the design work…] If you’re lucky, you might have received… Continue reading A Bon Scott Blog Giveaway!
ABC Jailbreak
Alex Sloan (this fine lady with a GSOH to my left) interviewed me this morning on ABC Radio Canberra. Somehow she’d gotten the idea that I was a “die-hard fan”. I had to let her down lightly. Not that I’m not a fan of Bon and AC/DC (I AM!) but I think you have to… Continue reading ABC Jailbreak
