BARDFLYS |
|
Okay kids, it's time to put your
drinking caps back on, change the
Reg Grundies, and tie your mother
down for another Tuesday night of
poetry, song, heckling,
microphone/pa breakages and 'high'
art that is Bardflys! |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
What are you on about? And put
that duck down. |
|
| SFX: chicken. |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Uhm, I just meant to make clear, if
I could, and unaccustomed as I am
to public speaking... |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
Get to the point man! |
|
| SFX: Bardflys being hit with mint walrus. |

BARDFLYS |
|
The poetry gig's on again this
Tuesday at The Friend In Hand
Hotel, Cowper St. Glebe. around 8
ish, you know? |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
Well, we DID put ourselves on the
mailing list, and we most likely
did that at the gig, so, yes, we do
know that, so tell us who's on, and
for the final time - leave that
chicken alone! |
|
| SFX: soft vermilion tears. |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Yes, you're right. I'm sorry, it's
just that I thought I gentle
reminder might get you to... |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
Get on with it man! |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Yes, where was I. |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
Who's on! |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Oh, right, well, this week, we have
the incredible Lewis Scott all the
way from the USA, at no small
expense to Bardflys mind you... |
|
| AUDIENCE: cheers! |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
At no small expense? |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
No. |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
So, it was expensive? |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Well, no. |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
He made his own way here didn't he? |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Yes. Yes he did. |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
Now... look at me when I'm talking
to you. |
|
| SFX: Tuesday at The Friend In Hand! |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Sorry. |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
The chicken will still be here when
we're finished. |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Yes, yes it probably will. |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
Is Dumbly back? |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Who? |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
Dumbly, Tug Dumbly. |
|
| AUDIENCE: cheers! |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Oh, yeah, he is. That's right. But
the infinitely more handsome witty
and dashing Benito will also be
there, hosting the slam as always. |
|
| AUDIENCE: cheers! |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
The sleazy fat Wog with the
drinking problem, yes, I remember
him. |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
And the sexiest band ever to set
foot outside of the womb -
Peppermint Tea will also be on day
release for the evening. |
|
| AUDIENCE: WOOPS, HOLLERS, BATHOS! |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
Fantastic! I happily mortgage my
grandmother for such an evening. |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Well, you won't have to, because
it's only $2/3 dollars (suggested
donation, batteries not included)
to envelope oneself in said high
artistic splendour in the
Montparnasse of Tuesday evenings in
Sydney - Bardflys! at The Friend In
Hand. |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
Fantastic! Now where's that
chicken? |
|
| SFX: chicken. |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Oh, and don't forget Benito's... |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
The sleazy drunken Wog guy that
hosts the slam? |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Yes, Benito's play 'The Strange
Case of the Parrot & The Stolen
Sydney Opera House' starring Tug
Dumbly as Napoleon Hangover,

as well as Kate Mulvany, Damon
Herriman, with live Radiophonic SFX

|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
That was a pretty blatant plug. |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Yes it was wasn't it. |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
Where could you go from there? |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
I could insist that, after
listening to this masterpiece you
ring every radio station in
Australia and insist Benito be
given a regular serial at ASA Award
rates. |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
Nothing else. |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
No, just the chicken. |
|
|
PROLETARIAT |
|
See you Tuesday then... |
|
|
BARDFLYS |
|
Whatever. |
