2014 at The Villa Armadilla – the year ahead
dmc & The Wild Armadillos are starting to gear up for a busy and exciting 2014 and we wish you a happy and healthy year too. May it be filled with peace and love.
We commenced the year with an impromptu show at The Orient Hotel on New Year’s Day, when Doug and Ferg augmented our regular trio of Mal, Anthony Donoghue and me. It really kicked the gig up a couple of notches and I must say that it was a blast. The joint was rockin’ and everyone had a ball. A definite highlight was being joined onstage by Steve Housden, guitar legend and Malcolm’s longtime compadre, for some blistering tunes. Mal & Steve harmonised sublimely on Bring It On Home To Me and Mal also had the crowd in the palm of his hand when he took the lead vocal on Honky Tonk Woman.
The Australia Day weekend also promises to be a lot of fun. dmc and Ferg play at Well Connected on Friday 24 January, dmc plays solo at The Orient the next afternoon and the band performs as a 6 piece with Dave Z at Bicentennial Park on Sunday as part of Auburn City Council’s Australia Day Celebrations. Will keep you posted about upcoming gigs.
We are also planning a video shoot in late January and will officially launch this is what we do to media and iTunes in March. Fingers will be crossed for a little airplay and a good review or two.
In the meantime dmc and Doug are working on pre-production for a new album to be recorded later this year. Doug is in charge so we are planning to take a lot less time the the last one!
