The Beasts at Solbar, December 14 - photo review
Age shall not weary The Beasts, although the years may condemn. After the emotional and frankly devastating loss of their fellow footsoldiers and Australian musical icons Brian Hooper and Spencer P Jones in 2018, Tex Perkins and compadres Kim Salmon, Tony Pola, Boris Sujdovic and Charlie Owen resolved to continue carrying the torch of the unstoppable life force that is the Beasts of Bourbon. Gathering all remaining members past and present to record a set of jams and covers that became the new album Still Here, and here was proof that there was life in the old dogs yet.
Stopping by Solbar on December 14, The Beasts were in full rock’n’roll force, playing on one of the hottest Saturday’s we’ve encountered in a long time… or maybe it was The Beasts that brought the heat? Supported by the legendary Adalita (Magic Dirt), and Gravel Samwidge.
Photographer Cynthia Lee was there to take the full brunt of this sonic assault, and emerged with sick photos and a grin from ear to ear.
