Nostalgia Bands

Enough is enough.

I'm totally fed up with the aging rock and pop band scene. Every week I get exclusive ticket offers for the latest nostalgia band doing a tour of Aus. This morning it was Spandau Ballet. Bloody hell.

If they weren't so serious it could actually be billed as a part music concert, part comedy night. The photo has these guys pouting like they are 22 all over again, except their not are they!? They're wrinkly and hagged. No amount of botox or photoshop will hide it.

Belinda and I went to ACDC the other week. Now these guys are getting a bit over the hill but they aren't technically a nostalgia band, because they've never disbanded before.

ACDC good. Spandau Ballet bad.

Maybe Midnight Oil might make a comeback... Garrett might be looking for a new job soon.
