Novelty Acts

Bjorn AgainGimme! Gimme! Gimme!

I don’t know about you, but for me, ABBA were a good thing. Sure they were very often annoying but they also made some incredibly catchy pop music that deserved them their fame. So when I hear a tribute band is coming to town, I think happy thoughts. I won’t be seeing them over a proper band, but if I’ve got nothing else to do, you can bet I’ll be there, if just for a laugh. Listen to the sample song (by the real ABBA) and try and tell me you won’t be there too.

The ModelsOut Of Mind, Out Of Sight

I admit it’s a bit rough to call these guys a novelty act, but considering that they split up in 1987, it is a bit of a joke that they’re playing here this year. For those who don’t know, The Models were one of Australia’s biggest 1980s New Wave bands, though admittedly they were never that huge. They definitely have some great music, which would make for a fun live experience, but then again, you can never trust that these older reformed bands will deliver.
