The Punchline Duo are at the Victory every Wed and Diceys every Thur this month.
The band are at Irish Murphys every Fri. Always a good night at Irish Murphys!

>>May 2007
Well we started playing every Wed as a Trio at Birdee Num Num's 2 years ago in May. Then we stopped last year in May for exactly a year and now we're back at Birdee's every Wed again from this May (except June where we are at The Victory) If you're not busy on a Wed night and looking for something to do, come down and catch us between 9pm & 12am.

>>April 30 2007
Aaron has been locking in very well with the band and together with Mick on the drums, Punchline's rhythm section is becoming better than ever! Aaron & Mick performed in a band together years ago in Darwin and it certainly shows.

Last weekend was a big one with 4 gigs in 3 days including Eagle Farm Races which was a 6 hour gig! To top it off we finished the weekend with a bang at Fisherman's Wharf Tavern on the Gold Coast. Fisho's is still pumping, the crowd were going crazy! We certainly look forward to our next gig there in June.

>> February 2007
Jamie's last gig with Punchline was on Saturday February 17. He & his lovely wife Jo have now moved to Sydney and the band wish them all the best!
Punchline's new bass player is AARON MCLUCAS. Aaron is an exceptional bassist! He also delivers some back-up vocals & will be a big asset to the band.
The website will soon have all the details of Aaron along with new band pics and fresh recordings, so stay tuned!

>> January 2007
It's mainly Gold Coast this month and if you can get down there check out our gig guide for when we're playin Surfers Beergarden, Surfers Rowers or Jupiters Casino.
The big one for January though is Australia Day. We are at the Story Bridge Hotel Cockroach races again this year & it's set to be bigger than ever!

>> December 2006
Well I can't believe it's that time of the year again. Lots of Xmas parties and the big one "New Yrs Eve"! This year we are at Dicey Reileys for New Yrs which is sure to be a big one. It's supposed to be a Pyjama Party though but I can't imagine too many people goin out in their PJ's. Bit hard for me coz I don't wear any and I can't really play naked!? Or could I? hmmm, nah definately not!
Hopefully we'll see you there but if not, have a great New Yrs for 2006 and see ya in 2007 for some more kick ass Punchline gigs! Cheers - Matty B.

>> November
Well it's been quiet for November but we have plenty of functions to play which is a blast most of the time. We did a gig with Mark Sholtez at Sirromet for corporate group "Karel Cad". Mark won best Jazz artist at the ARIAS this year.

>> 7 October
Well we finally have played the Prince Albert Bar at Jupiters Casino Gold Coast (Sep 19) & they obviously liked us, we are booked heaps in the 1st half of 2007. Great gig, lookin forward to it.
There are a couple of proposals for New Years Eve and hopefully one will be confirmed soon.
Mick & I have just edited the audio recordings, we are doin some final touches, won't be long.

>> 13 September 06
Last month we played at the Iron Bar in Port Douglas again for the 5th time. We had a great time as usual but it was only 3 nights this time. There were good crowds on the Fri & Sat as usual and we already look forward to the next time.

We have been getting a few gigs at the Surfers Beergarden on Thur, Fri & Sat nights, and it rocks! Always a line up on Fri & Sat's. Irish Murphys Brisbane CBD seems to be quite a regular gig for us at the moment which is always a busy night. (Refer to gig guide to catch us)

>> 7th August 06 -
Last month we performed at the Sirromet Wine and Food Festival on the Saturday. Christine Anu was also performing, as well as some Sheldon College bands. This was our 4th year involvement with Sirromet and our 5th Performance. (2 years ago we played before John Farnham at Sirromet, and there were about 9500 people!) This year we played the Saturday only coz Mark Seymour performed on the Sunday instead. It was actually nice to have a day off for once and I spent it there with a bunch of friends, it was a great day! Mark Seymour was good from what I remember!? It's amazing how quick drinking in the Sun can take effect.

This week we are off to Port Douglas again for the 5th time! It's our first time with Jaymie and we are all looking forward to the getaway!
