Thanks Craig Smith-Gander of Subiaco. Your Suburban Soldier t-shirt will be on its way to you shortly. Meantime, here's a song we will be playing October 24 at the Astor as part of the huge Suburbs 50 Years Strong night. Not as well know as some others but a corker and now you have plenty of time to familiarize yourselves with it! https://open.spotify.com/track/1kL45mUdt0BQ9CEpVuizzf?si=03f8e9e67bca4f91

First Melbourne tour was a real experience. The wonderful Dobe and Sally Newton put us up for a good while at their place in North Fitzroy, then we hired stretcher beds and lobbed in the unfurnished house of our roady Mark 'The Hat' Edwards' dad. It was Paul Noonan's first tour on bass, and Tony Durant flew in from London and after 2 rehearsals was on stage at Bananas where members of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder liked us so much they gave us free tickets for their concet. And now we are back for SUBURBS 50 YEARS STRONG - this October at the Memo. I dearly hope those of you who slogged out to Bombay Rock, Martinis, Melbourne Uni et al to join us then will once again 'Put on your football jumpers 'cause we're going down the football' MEMO MUSIC HALL, ST KILDA SAT OCT 17 - we're playing the whole show.

Looking for a book to read on a cold winter's night? Thank you Good Reading Magazine for suggesting 'Sound Mind Dead Body'

Thanks so much Beauty and Lace Bookclub for your support of my whodunnit, ‘Sound Mind Dead Body’. If you’ve not read it I hope these testimonials will convince you to try it.

Sound Mind Dead Body is something of a departure for Dave Warner, the author of novels such as After the Flood. This is a cosy, historical crime novel rather than the modern police procedurals Warner has produced recently. However, like them, this is fast-moving and absorbing.

Big thanks Peter Baker for your Mugs Game tee order. It will be posted today. Hope you'll be wearing it at the Astor Theatre come Oct 24 for the event of the year ... hell make that the decade!

This October marks the fiftieth anniversary of Dave Warner’s from the Suburbs one of Australia’s most unique bands, and the first West Australian band to fill pubs and have chart success with songs about Perth.

Huge appreciation to Scott Beers for his hoody and tee shirt order and for Warwick Smith for his order of 'Big Bad Blood'. Scott just been waiting on stock for the hoody but should have any tick of the clock. Your very long time support is what makes it worthwhile still hanging around playing music and writing. Warwick, I love Big bad Blood 25 years on and hope you enjoy it too. For those Perth fans who missed out my Lizard Zirk books on my last tour - they are back in stock so please hit my website for a signed copy https://davewarner.com.au/pages/the-warner-store
