The delltones concert@ Kedron-Wavell April 9th 2010











On Friday April 9th, I went to see the Delltones australian singing group who has been on the scene since 1958 @ Kedron-Wavell which it was the 7th time I have seen them live and it was rocking & Fantastic. They just get better and better every time I see them. Most of the set were the same songs but changed a bit which they did in the first doing an song called Cool CLear water and there was an funny thing happend towards the end of the song when an big bang occured which it was something to do with the sound system and it was eventually fixed and also the show went on as smoothly. An live DVD they recorded @ Melbourne Crown Casino was selling on the night as it was not officially released but it's released as i saw it on their website and in the 2nd set which was the electric they did 16 tons which was very good and higher and higher. Spoke with Carla (Pee Wee's wife and the group's manager) about the DVD which she said it's a long time coming as they had to get approvals and rights as well as asking is there any chances that Bop till you drop album ever be out which she said no and is it there any delltones 60's album be released on Cd which she said that it's up to Festival Records. Met the guys again which i got photos with them and spoke with them as well including Owen Booth which i ask about working with chuck berry which he was distant but the music was great as danny mayers about his solo stuff that is happening. Check out the Delltones if you want tos ee them live as they put on an FANTASTIC & ROCKIN show and their website is thedelltones.com
