Who are the show with no name




We're a tired old bunch of rockstars who've spent a collective 750 years at the top of showbusiness and now we're awaiting the return of the prophet known only to Radio Dave to lead us to the promised land... Until then it's a bit like the Goodies, albeit living in a small cardboard shack in the wilds of a place known only to us and 90,000 other people as 'Sebas'... but that's another story.

Lenny's currently still coming down from the Grammys where he was arrested trying to snort Mariah Carey. It wasn't the fact he'd laid her out on the table so much as the way he was wielding that razor blade... Poor old Mick Dog was last seen wandering aimlessly down the highway outside of Wodonga clutching a half-used souvlaki and asking people if they knew how to call in an airstrike on Rockhampton...

But we continue, like the famed Hamburger Cart - night after night churning out the steaming hot goodness to the varied mumbling freaks, suits and geeks of our town. Things are pretyt grim for music fans in this place, what with Grainery Lane now closed, big Paddy O out of Karova and the ever present menace of 'Dirty' Frank Callahan on our streets... we shall fight the good fight here and forever... are you gonna eat that?

We cling tenaciously to the dream of honest rock and roll and someone shouting on the radio... via the medium of the Show With No Name - the only radio show in Ballarat to have its own Youtube action...

Not quite as monstrous a media empire as the man known only as 'Hardware' is amassing, and far from the greatness that was BTV6 in the old days.. but we will continue the struggle...
