of course while i’m away in malaysia for one month, hoss and dear joel silbersher have to tour in perth for the first time in 16 years. i’m fuming, goddamn.
naturally the fear everytime i come over here for extended periods of time (visit the rest of my family and some sort of break inbetween) is that life goes on as normal in perth and i gradually fade from the memory of people i know and when i come back, even for that short time, everything has changed and i feel like a stupid fool.
more likely that nothing changes, though.
still two more weeks.
according to the boytown wikipedia entry , the vocal talents of the boy band (not to be confused with the acting) includes joel silbersher. joel?!?!? he of scary rockers god & hoss, and friend of tex perkins and charlie owen, now singing about “that special time of the month” and “parent teacher night”.
i think he’s glenn robbins’ singing voice , but i’ll confirm later when i’ve seen it. there’s an offer at the restaurant next to his majesty’s for free tickets this week if you have a meal there (film needs some serious word of mouth, huh?). hopefully the expensive price of lunch won’t cancel out the satisfaction of seeing a movie for “free”. which means i can feel less shithouse if i walk out and realise it wouldn’t have been worth twelve dollars.
compare (a wonky copy) of god’s my pal with boytown’s i cry:
-edit- i am soooo right. i guessed correctly! this from xpress interview with mick molloy:
Q: I see that Joel Silbersher does some of the vocals for the Boytown songs. That’s very ironic, he’s an indie legend…
A: Yeah, Joel does Benny G’s (robbins’ character) voice. [bit about bram presser, molloy's voice double who plays in a jewish hardcore band] It was good fun trying to match up all those voices. It’s quite an artform.
