I know Little Stevie(Stephen) as he worked with my mum and sister @ Australia Post in the city and I had seen him performed with Brandi and the Badcats twice @ Carina Leagues CLub on Saturday November 10th and 24th 2012. The show started @ 11am which they just one set and were on stage for nearly 2 hours which they performed the classic rock n roll songs by people like Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran and others and Stephen, Darryl and Geoff sang lead each which was great as well as them wearing sunglasses on stage and also people were dancing and having a great time. the show finished before 1 pm, saw Stephen which I got a card and an pen and walk back to Coolangatta. It was an FANTASTIC show which I had a great time and the band were FANTASTIC too which they sounded great and played great as well it was my first time seeing that band and also to those who have not seen them go and see them as you will enjoy it I'm sure doing great rock n roll stuff. set list- Do you Wanna Dance Honey Don't Think It Over green Door Folsom Prison Blues Bad Moon Rising Route 66 Seven Nights To Rock Maybe Baby Come On Everybody Summertime Blues Shake This Shack Say Mama Walking the Dog Matchbox All Shook Up True True Love Shake It baby Be Bop A Lula Pretty Woman Little Sister Claudette Marylou Brown Eyed Girl It's Late Reelin and Rockin Twenty Flight Rock Rock n Roll Girls Stand By Me
