This song was introduced to me by Lisa M. Lisa has been a friend of mine for a long time. I think we met through Paul C but I'm not sure. For a while she pretended to live in the spare room of my flat in Meredith Street, Elwood. Later she became a DJ on Thursday nights at the Lizard Lounge.
I used to throw parties for Robtober, it being my birthday month. however because I DJed every Friday and Saturday they were always on a Sunday. So one year I decided to have my party on Melbourne Cup Eve. Lisa was planning her own party so we threw in together along with Peirre Baroni and Rob Craw from the Huxton Creepers to have a combined party. Actually Rob could have been the year after. It was at what is now Bridie O'rielly's in Chapel Street. It went down a treat. Eventually we drank the bar dry and used up all their change. Little John from the Lizard had to go and get beer and change to keep the night going because they want'ed to shut it down. We argued furiously with them to keep it open. They weren't expecting so many people.
For a while Cup Eve Parties with Rob and Lisa were an institution. Of course we started having kids and lost enthusiasm. And so we stopped. but maybe next year we might bring it back for an encore.
This song never took off at The Lizard. However it's a brilliant song and Johnny Marr plays on it. You can dance to it! what more do you want?
