A Band Called Twang @ Twin Towns June 7th 2019

On Friday night I went to Twin Towns to see A Band Called Twang. I walked to Twin Towns, went to Flames where I had Bacon and Prawn Fettuccini for dinner, drank Coke Zero, went up to the 5th Floor, drank Pepsi Max, ate Crunch and went inside the showroom. A Band Called Twang came on stage at 6. 30pm and they did 3 sets doing their own songs as well as covers by Janis Martin, Elvis Presley, Wanda Jackson and others and there were people on the dance having an great time and also there was an bit of drama when an man fell backwards but he was OK and also they were selling CD's too. The show finished @ 9.30pm, bought Coke Zero from 7-11 and went back to Bella Mare. It was an AWESOME show which everyone had an great time and I enjoyed it too with great singing by Maree as well as Dan on some as well as great guitar playing by Dan as well as the other guys too and I look forward to seeing them again soon.
