LIBRARY SHOWS FOR NEW BOOK `DOUBLE EXXXPRESSO'

Fresh off a great trip to Brisbane and Lismore with the original Mugs Game Suburbs, Dave and Tony Durant have a numner of their unique music/author library events just around the corner.

For more than an hour Dave talks about his books, and the inspiration for them and how it connects with his life and music. With Tony Durant's excellent guitar they intersperse a number of songs that relate in some way to the books. And best of all these shows are normall all FREE.

Dve also has a crime writing workshop happening in Kiama Nov 14

2026 will be the 50th anniversary of Dave Warner's from the Suburbs first show and plans are underway for some special perfromances in October 2026.

And new songs are coming too with the second Rude Crew album already underway.

And also on Nov 27 'Kilamanjaro' will be released, the album of pop dance songs Nicole (then Nicole Binet) recorded with Dave and Martin Cilia back in 1990.

'Still A Mugs Game' tour over but the music rolls on - 2023

What an amazing last half of the year it has been. In July we started the 'It's Still A Mugs Game' tour in Perth and finished last week in Melbourne. For the band it has been a wonderful opportunity to play together again and to be close again to bandmates.

And wow, what an audience. It was so wonderful to meet friends and fans old and new. We are hoping to have the original Suburbs playing in 24, but I'm also keen to do some book-music events with Tony and to do some gigs with the Rude Crew.

The Rude Crew is my posse of musicians that work with Martin Cilia and me to give life to our narrative more country style material. Our first single "Stella" is out now and the album 'Dirty Windcreens,Heartache and Beer' is out Dec 29.

On the book front, I've been overwhelmed by the reception for 'Summer of Blood' - thanks readers, I really appreciate the support.

Have a fab Christmas and if you are on my mailing list look out for a newsletter. I'll also be randomly picking names off the list to send prizes to, so if you are not subscribed to my mail list please do. You can do it here on the website.
