No Memphis: Semaphore here we come!

What a night at The Memphis Blues Challenge at Norwood Live. We played our best and we went down well with the crowd, most of which had never seen us before.

Heads were bobbing. The judges were serious. The sound was good. We blistered some paint off the furnishings but to no avail.

The Honey Badgers were too slick, polished and professional. Their line up, with their three piece brass section and shredding guitar and vocal frontman, was more than a match for us and the result fairly reflected that.

They were deserving winners and so were Frankie and Savva winning their duo act section.

What we’ve taken away from it is how lucky we were to make it to the final and have that opportunity to play our songs in front of an appreciative crowd. It’s a great feeling to be part of a line up that was full of talent.

Thanks to all the folk at ARBA who make it happen. Thanks also to all our friends and family who came to see us on the night and to all the bands that took part and are part of the music scene here in Adelaide.

And if you want to catch us you can come along to the Semaphore Workers Club Sunday 4th September 5-8 pm and see what Memphis is missing out on.

Update: recording of the gig – recorded for archival purposes only – not a studio quality recording just for anyone interested.

Sold Out: Memphis Blues Challenge Final

The Memphis Blues Challenge Final is a sell out but Sunday 4th of September 5-8 pm at The Semaphore Workers’ Club can go in your diary instead.

We’ll be playing 3 x 45 minute sets and it’s a great venue that kicks on and supports live music week in and week out so it’s a blast to play there.

And if you’re a fan of The Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society Annual Show we’ll be playing from 2-4 pm Tues 6th September, Wednesday 7th September and Thursday 8th September at the Alley Stage (near the Country Women’s Association, the poultry pavilion and the dog pavilion). What’s not to love about that?

And if you’re into longer range plans we’re playing a double bill at The Murray Delta Juke Joint in Goolwa with The Love Mussels who are releasing their recently recorded album “The Love Mussels Save The World”. If you haven’t seen them and you can come along you’re in for a real treat.

LIVE STREAM 6:15 pm CDST Friday 4/3/22

Since trying to live stream on FaceBook and having partial success and another attempt that failed completely I’m confident this will work.

If you can’t make it to the gig we’d still love you to be able to tune in – so this is for you.

We’ll kick this off at least 15 minutes before we start around 6:30 pm.

We hope you enjoy the show.

Put 12/2/22 in your diary.

Sorry about the earlier post with the incorrect date. Here is the gospel truth…

The TinMen are playing at Beags Beer Garden Saturday 12th February from 6:30pm to 9:00pm – free entry.

If you know us you know our style – original and classic blues – played with swing and soul and with a twist.

Come to 63 Light Square Adelaide – the home of parent organisation Light Adelaide, The Lab and Aurora Restaurant and enjoy what promises to be a balmy summer evening for a chilled out session.

The last gig a fortnight ago was a lot of fun and this one should be no different.

Live-streaming link here on our Bandcamp page.

To be notified of upcoming gigs by email visit thetinmen.com.auand subscribe/follow the website and you’ll join our email list otherwise go to facebook.com/bandoftinmen and follow us.
