Jon Langford house party

This has been getting a fair run on myspace, but there is still room on the RSVP list. It promises to be a unique afternoon's entertainment, get there if you can.

The postmodern man of BBQ, Mr Julian Wu is hosting a house concert featuring the renaissance man of insurgent country music -- Mr JON LANGFORD!!
Founder of legendary UK proto-punkers MEKONS, Chicago hellfire country band THE WACO BROTHERS, star-studded western swing ensemble THE PINE VALLEY COSMONAUTS, duet partner with SALLY TIMMS, death penalty campaigner, visual artist extraordinaire, collaborator with the famous and the obscure, radio personality on WXRT, papa bear figure to the entire Chicago indie music scene -- is there nothing this wiley Welshman can't do?!

Come join us for a house concert with Jon Langford, raconteur, provocateur and drinking partner par excellence, on Saturday February 3 from 3pm (music starts 5pm).
Jonboy's band for the occasion will feature Nev Anderson, Dave Hastings and Roy Payne of Fat Dusty + Jason Walker (Last Drinks) on steel, and maybe some added mando and accordion for good measure.
There will be several amazing Langford paintings on display (and available for sale), including his portraits of the Aboriginal country musicians featured in Clinton Walker's "Buried Country" documentary.

This here party is hosted by Julian Wu, Melbourne Music Identity and Iron Chef (BBQ), famed for his rock'n'roll hospitality and mouth-watering Wu-B-Q.
Tickets only $15 and that includes Wu-B-Q!!
