blender are another pretty good thing about perth

when in perth, Roulade chooses to party with Clouds

in the early days of cassette (mid 2006) we held a party called “Tropical Blitz: The Short Shorts Party”. we rented heaps of palm trees, got people to wear short shorts (probably about a 70% hit rate), and bought 50 coconuts, drilled holes in them, cleaned them out, put bubble tea straws in them, sold them to the bar and got the bar to sell malibu and pineapple in them ($10 for the first one but then $5 to refill your coconut). it was a good time.

pictured above is felix out the front of tropical blitz. felix plays the guitar part on canyons‘ “apples & pears”. additionally, he has been in / is currently in a stack of great perth bands including, but not limited to, the macarburettors, the bad taste, captain johnny & the cap guns (is that what they were called?) and bobby blackbird & the bluejays. as far as i know he was never in rhibosome.
