TICE & EVANS return to S.A.
Dave Tice & Mark Evans have had exceptional individual careers, and in recent years have been making beautiful blues together. In 1970 Dave formed the legendary heavy rock band “Buffalo” along with co-founder Peter Wells of “Rose Tattoo” fame. Recording 5 successful albums over 7 years, Buffalo headlined several Australian tours and went on to share the stage with legendary artists such as Status Quo, Black Sabbath, Ritchie Blackmore & Rainbow and Slade on their Aussie sojourns. Along the way, they collected several gold records and were highly influential in defining the style of music now affectionately known as “pub rock”. After the demise of Buffalo, Dave headed overseas and joined seminal, UK, r’n’b/punk act “The Count Bishops” who toured the world with artists including The Stranglers, The Clash, John Cale, Doctor Feelgood and Bo Didley. Mark Evans is best known as the original bassist for AC/DC, replacing Malcolm Young when the band decided to become a 5-piece, and played on their first four hit albums. He then joined Finch/Contraband for their 1977 recording “Nothing to Hide” and their 1979 offering “Contraband”. He’s also worked on recordings with Australian, house-hold name artists such as The Divinyls and Swanee and was member of The Party Boys in the early 90’s. Tice & Evans hooked up in Sydney quite a while ago when Mark played on Dave’s first solo album. Since 2000, they’ve had a nearly 9 year residency at the Bridge Hotel, Rozelle (Sydney) a venue nationally known as the home of blues in that city and have recorded 2 EP’s, with their 3rd ready for release. Dave's powerful vocals and blues harp and the driving swampy guitar work emanating from Mark bring new life to R'n'B classics by Wilson Pickett and Sam Cooke, through to Louisiana influenced John Fogerty, Chuck Berry’s ‘Rock and Roll’ and Elvis Presley's ‘Mystery Train’. Their sets are also liberally laced with original cuts from their latest recordings. This is your chance to catch 2 legends of Australian rock when they showcase their new CD (and tell lots of unprintable stories about their lives on the road) in SA this August.

A night of indulgence…. For one night only during ‘Tastes of the Outback’, the stunning landscapes of the Flinders Ranges are the backdrop to an outback cinema, serving up tempting regional food with some of the best in Australian and UK short films. On Saturday 25 April, SHORTS Film Festival and The Prairie Hotel will again present the popular SHORTS Outback event at Parachilna. The evening promises to delight and entertain with highlights from the 2008 national SHORTS Film Festival, and Rushes Soho Shorts, the UK’s leading short film festival. At the award-winning Prairie Hotel in the Flinders Ranges, the scene of critically acclaimed films Rabbit-Proof Fence and The Tracker, you will enjoy a pre-screening drink or two while celebrity chef Andrew Fielke tantalises your tastebuds with a ‘Tastes of the Outback’ inspired Banquet. Alternatively, you’ll be tempted by the variety of casual grazing platters to suit all budgets. Drinks can be purchased from the bar throughout the evening. SHORTS Outback is a unique must-see experience, so sit back, enjoy the warm hospitality of the locals and share a few laughs over drinks, fine food and great flicks. Then kick on to music under the moonlight with renowned singer/songwriter Paul Greene, and rest up in the hotel, cottages or campsite in time for a recovery brunch the next morning. So whichever way you’re driving into Parachilna, whether it’s from the Clare Valley, across the Iron Triangle, from the Riverland, Coober Pedy, or the breath-taking Lake Eyre… SHORTS Outback will be both the journey and the destination.

- Shorts Outback
The SHORTS Film Festival is open to all emerging filmmakers across the country and aims to champion and reward quality cinematic storytelling. Since its inception in 2002, SHORTS, has grown quickly and now surpasses the prize pool of St. Kilda Film Festival in Melbourne and is close on the heels of Tropfest, Australia’s prominent short film festival. Since 2007, SHORTS has, through a partnership with The Prairie Hotel in Parachilna, taken highlights of the metropolitan based festival to the outback to screen them in an open air cinema. In 2009, SHORTS Outback will be held in conjunction with Taste of the Outback on Saturday, 25th April 2009. In late 2007, Adelaide’s only national short film festival struck a partnership with the UK’s Rushes SOHO Shorts Festival giving Australian film-makers the chance for their films to be shown to an international audience that involves major industry figures. Reciprocal rights have been forged between the two festivals, and at SHORTS Outback 2009, 3 of the winning films from Rushes SOHO will be screened amongst the 13 Australian shorts selected for the cinema under the desert stars. We hope to see you there! |
