Weddings Parties Anything : Knockbacks In Halifax

[vunxh]

Anyone got Sisters of Mercy by the Weddoes handy? Vic nurses are copping it hard again from the Vic Govt in 2011 just like the 80's.

Takes me back to when i was young ,what a band ! Just when i thought being an aussi in the late 80's /early 90's with Irish parentage was uncool .these guys came along.Mickey Thomas saw you at AFL park many times sorry man you're are /were a great singer but mate , the saints are fucked,they were back then and they are now .You are still a legend though.

Canada don't need to be bashed for any reason..... and the reason for this is: Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and k d lang.

But man do I love WPA... such a tight band!!

[connorhirtle10]

Saw them in Halifax on "the big don't argue" tour.Song is about Mick's trip to The Palace, an infamous Haligonian pick up bar. Yikes!

@connorhirtle10 . . . . apologies to the 99.99% of our Canadian brothers and sisters who are normal, broadminded human beings for my comment to "ghrdng" . . . good music's where you find . . so is the bad !!!

[ghrdng]

as a Montreal bloke who saw them in Toronto in 1989 this is one great tune. Australasians you should very proud.

Shame you're country hasn't done shit since.

[TheSgtSmall]

@ghrdng ..............................­Two words,  Justin Bieber.

Thank you for the contribution to world music your country has made recently.

You must be proud.

[oldredun]

@ghrdng . . . . some more Canuck shit to avoid, Bryan Adams, Celine Fucking Dion and a littany of others . . . I mean, really, what a dumb as dogshit, musically racist comment to make . . . go and freeze to a slow death in the tundra cockhead !!!

I wish you'd edited out Steve Vizard. Ewww, isn't he in gaol now for embezzling funds?

[oatmealsavage9]

Do you have a WPA version of "Hug My Back" you could upload!!?!

[BlackEyedSun]

Living in Halifax for five years... Yep

[annyid8]

but when I danced to whitney houston I wondered what am i doing here...

love it, love you mick and WPA!!!!!!!!

[lapalad]

I saw them at the Paddo RSL with my Canadian mate.He loved the band but more so this song.

[BigJulieWasDead]

Having a major nostalgia attack now...saw them so many times, still remember getting my toe broken by a not so skinny girl jumping on my foot at the General Bourke in Parramatta. Never wore my suede cockroach killers to a Weddos gig again. Time to watch more of the boys...and girls too ! RIP Janine Hall, played in so many great bands. Oh God - Steve Vizard at the end...Jesus...

[Downfamily]

CHONK ON BOYS!!

[katholeszcz]

God, these guys were great, in all of their configurations... I miss them!!!

Mick Thomas sent a link with his update email today...

[nearlyoutofideas]

Aha, that explains it, thanks! I don't seem to have got that email yet. I have plenty more WPA clips from TV to add here over time, so feel free to keep checking back... :)

[katholeszcz]

Brilliant... have subscribed.... Going to see Mick Thomas and the Sure Thing on August 6.... haven't seen him live since back in the Wedhead days... and missed their recent reunion tour :-(...

[rabbitoh14]

[nearlyoutofideas]

He'd be nothing without me! That's the gratitude I get. :D

[Netweb]

Yep, the email hit my inbox ~8:30am and thanks for uploading the video and the quality is excellent.

[luttcar]

PLEEEEEZE keep adding clips. I love these guys. Wish I'd known them in their prime, although Mick is still great. Got his email today about this clip -- wonderful quality.

[nearlyoutofideas]

I'm intrigued how this clip apparently got around 300 views, literally overnight!
