Hola, Melbourne-based Sime Nugent fans (or passionate lovers of his music willing to travel great distances for a good live show).

As you may or may not know, we're big fans of "The Nuge" around these parts, and I was rather excited to learn that the man himself is playing a very special show, Bruce McAvaney style, this Friday night at Melbourne's own East Brunswick Club. With support from Matt Walker and Suzannah Espie, a couple of special onstage guests, and a rollickingly talented band who will probably make your brain explode a bit when you watch them do their "thang", the gig was always going to be ace - but it's also being recorded, which means there's every chance your girlish cries of "TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF, NUGENT!" and "PLAY KHE SANH!" will appear on a CD in the near future!

If you'd like to join me and other people with taste on Friday night, you can buy tickets from the East Brunswick Club's website or on the door at the night. Do it! DO IT!

OR - if you email tips AT defamer.com.au and offer up a remotely interesting YouTube link, you might just win yourself two tickets. Bring a date! Feel them up while one of the country's finest singer-songwriters bangs out the musical bliss! Buy me a beer! Whatever!
