While dumped PM Gough Whitlam might as well have been auditioning for the Sex Pistols when he said on November 11, 1975, ““Well may we say ‘God Save the Queen’, because nothing will save the Governor-General!”, Melbourne’s royal rock’n’pop trio Even, who did include a stonking cover of the Sex Pistols’ "Pretty Vacant” on their recent Down The Shops covers collection, reckon that the Queen’s birthday at least is worth celebrating. Indeed, they reckon it is their Antipodean duty to do so, especially given that Prince Phillip is now no longer around to start the party.

But with four shows across the holiday weekend at great venues in the inner North, South, East and West, "Even Saves The Queen’s Birthday Weekend” is not just a celebration of a fabulous public holiday; it is also a celebration of the great rock’n’roll city that is Melbourne.

Oh, and Even would also like it known  that we’ve been working on album #8 and it’s coming along nicely.
