Ringside Rockabilly

Pat Capocci vs. Rusty Pinto


What a great night out at DeVille's! Both Rusty and Pat put on great performances, rising to the challenge...

While I do enjoy Rusty's blues stylings with the Combo, Friday night was a great change to the regular programming. The gauntlet was thrown down early, with Rusty ripping out some red hot numbers. Those who like their Rockabilly fast and furious would have had a hard time being disappointed. The dance floor was full, the joint was rockin', and the uninitiated probably wondered what awesome hidden pocket of the Perth music scene they had just uncovered.
Rusty - hitting the right notes...

After some great tracks from DJ Razor Jack, Pat stepped up to put his stamp on the evenings proceedings. As a (*cough*) completely unbiased observer I always thought Pat would have  a pretty tough time following up on a local legend. However, after some very catchy tunes, I'm sure I was not the only person lamenting the rarity of visitations from our Eastern compatriots. While the tempo generally set a more relaxed pace, for many reaching the close of a great evening with friends and (possibly more than) a few drinks this was probably just what the doctor ordered.
Perth commands that you bring more Rockabilly!!!

At the end of the evening, my entirely impartial verdict -
Rusty, on points ;)
