The Basics Are Gonna Be Played On Californication!

Defamer Australia favourites The Basics are about to launch a tour with Japanese rock’n'rollers The Bawdies, and as The Basics are renown for being a phenomenal live act, you’d be stupid in the head to miss them.

Two thirds of the band – you can call them Tim Heath and Kris Schroeder when you scream out their names at gigs – are devastatingly handsome red heads who make the bitches swoon with just a strum of their chosen stringed instruments (gingers are the new black, discuss) and the remaining third is the ever adorable skin-hitting (that means he plays the drums! I don’t mean in the Shoop rap sense!) Wally “Gotye” De Backer, and together they are Captain Planet… Planet Rock.

God. Even I don’t know what I’m saying anymore. Oh yeah! I remember – the dudes just informed their Facebook fans of the following thrilling update.

Exciting news – Sunday night’s episode of Californication will feature The Basics version of the Sonic’s classic ‘Have Love Will Travel’ and will play during a rather prominent scene – you’ll see.

Let me guess… Hank’s sexing something or someone he shouldn’t be?
