Rogue Traders (& TV Rock)

To celebrate finishing the work I needed to do to extend my visa, last night I went to see the Rogue Traders at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda, Melbourne because they bloody rock. Oh yes they do. I believe they released Voodoo Child in the UK or something but they're huge over here, probably...
