Perth's music community has come together to celebrate the life and times of its dear friend and brother, the imitable James Baker, who unfortunately is battling liver cancer.James is the backbeat, and the hammer and tongs drummer to the soundtrack of your misspent, angst ridden youth – and let’s face it - to your modern day obsession of good music on your Spotify list.
From one of the most influential punk anthems (Victims – Television Addict) ; to the pre-swamp pop n’roll leanings (The Scientists – ‘Frantic Romantic’/‘Last Night) ; to the tall-tale future of the term Australian Super Group (The Beasts of Bourbon – Axemans Jazz) ; to the highly celebrated timeless Oz rock classic (Hoodoo Gurus – Stoneage Romeos) – James Baker has no peers when it comes to a rock n roll curriculum vitae.
Over one weekend in January, a host of artists and bands influenced by James Baker will come together and donate their services as a bond of love and gratitude to help assist with his ongoing treatment. The Fremantle show at Clancys on Jan 10 features The K*ll Devil Hills, The Volcanics, Greenzo's Weird Ol' Blues and The Shakeys, while Lyric's Underground hosts a cracker bill on Jan 11 comprised of Datura4, The Floors, Carla Geneve, The Secret Buttons and Robber's Dog.
Please celebrate with us through what he seamlessly and selflessly gave us for nigh on 50 years - Rawknroll par excellence!!
