Kustom Kulture Weekender Part II- Saturday

Saturday always gets the biggest turn out of the whole weekend, this is because there is a car show on in the car park during the day, then another lot of great bands at night. I usually have the biggest hang over on sunday ;)

This year the car show is brought to you by Adelaide locals, The Monarchs. This year is little different from the last, it's a birthday celebration of The Monarch's 50th year as a car club! The show is for traditional style customs and hot rods but classic american cars are also welcome.






We took our '52 Pontiac last year and it was so much fun! But the poor girl misses out this year as she's broken a piston and will be off the road for quite some time :( so we will probably hop in one our friends cars and cruise down.



Our 'yak...she still has a long way to go but we love her

Kicking off at 12pm, there is pleanty of yummy BBQ food to gorge yourself on, as well as drinks, if you're keen. There is also a local surf band, Slingshot Dragster, playing in the car park, as well as DJ's spinning some tunes. There will also be pin strippers laying some lines (my fiance Tiki, and friend Tubby), PLUS my friend Jen (from Paperdoll Pin-ups) and I will be beautifying ladies, pin-up style!
There is always a nice, relaxed feeling on saturday as everyone gears up for as big night ahead.
In the afternoon, we head home for some food and to freshen up, then grab a cab back down and begin to party!

After the presentation of the winner of the Pin-Up comp, the real fun starts!

First up is newish Adelaide band, Saturday's Army. I am a little ashamed to say I haven't seen these guys play yet! Bad Molly. They are a young three peice who say their influnces are The Living end, Stray Cats, AFI, Big Country, Sum 41, The Smiths, Fall Out Boy. I love some of these bands, but I'm not so keen on Sum 41 or Fall Out Boy, so I'll be interested to see what their sound is like!

Next are Adelaide Rockabilly royalty, The Satellites. They have been playing for about 13 years now, and although some of the line up has changed, their raw energy and passion still blows their audiences away. Honestly, every show they do is powerful, fun and, of course, makes you want to dance! Plus Steve (bass & vocals) and Belinda (rhythem guitar & vocals) are the sweetest people you could ever meet! Jad (drums) is lovely too.

Ending the night are the Strange Tenants, from Melbourne. Kustom Kulture isn't just about rockabilly music, it's about anything kooky, or a bit off beat from the main stream, so it seems appropriate for these ska ledgends to finish off the evening. Again, I haven't seen these guys play before, mainly because they were around before I was born! I have listened to some of their songs on youtube...oh boy, my feet are going to be sore on sunday! If you like 80's brittish style ska, I'll meet you on the dance floor! I can not wait!







If you are from Adelaide, please come down! There is always a mixed crowed, everyone is welcome, no matter what kind of music you like or how you dress. That is what I love about Kustom Kulture!
