Perth's fierce femme-fatale foursome The Tommyhawks peddle a brand of rollicking folk melodies with punk-infused blues.
With supports of Courtney Love, Spiderbait, Jebediah, Dallas Frasca and Bec Sandridge on their CV plus festival appearances at St Kilda Festival, Bridgetown Blues, Wave Rock, Jungle Love Festival and Nannup Music Festival, the foursome wrap up their current national tour with a hometown show at Badlands Bar tomorrow night (22 September).
The ladies share 5 plant-related disgruntlements.
1. Conifers
Whichever gardening show host in the '70s decided to ruin the next 40 years of suburban frontyards has a lot to answer for. That Ambi pur smell. Those bulky shapes. Their nauseating colour. Waste of space. I blame you, Burke.2. Canola Fields
Try driving through them for hours on tour with a hangover. Fluoro yellow was never meant to be a flower colour. I don't care how good your hot chips are.3. Those little purple-leaved spiky plants that are lining your driveway
No idea what they're called. They don't deserve a name. Seriously. They're not a thing. Dig them up. Plant a rose bush if you want purple and spikes. Or just have sand.4. Trees that supposedly match with your house-brick colour
Why are you trying to camouflage your house with a tree?5. Wattle
Once on my Dad's lawn-mowing round I got bored and shoved a whole lot of it up my nose. Needless to say I lost my status of 'most intelligent offspring'.The Tommyhawks launch their new EP at Badlands Bar (Perth) 22 September. BOOM! BAP! POW!, Big Orange and Denise le Menice are also on the bill.
