This is way back from 2005 I think...A little nostalgia. We played with Australian Kingswood Factory in support of Airbourne that night and had a great time! They're awesome guys and an incredible live band. Good on ya lads!
This review is from the old Greenroom website. God we miss that place...
With much anticipation Tonk arrived on stage. A band in the making several months – there had been whispers that this was going to be big… and in the African American sense it was. Intro’d by a bloke with more hair than the Chinese swim team and as much stye as ABBA, I started to get this gut wrenching feeling that I was in for an alcohol infused evening – why because when Im happy I drink, - I drink for just about every emotion and every occasion – but this was different.
Tonk hit the stage and from the very first chord they struck it was on with a vengeance. Every song they played it seemed was taken from the classics of rock instruction book…. Every lick was drenched in fat, every roll of the drum played with intensity not seen by a local band for a long time!!! The band exuded energy, professionalism and most of all good times and great tastes – and the crowd returned the favour with some serious rolling and/or rocking… genuinely appreciating the
efforts put in by these men of rock.
Overall they played a fantastic set that left me hanging for more…. And I know I will because these boys have got something that has been missing from the Canberra scene for a long time. I’m just not sure what it is, because I certainly don’t have it…. And most local bands I see don’t have it.. but it’s something and I am very willing to watch learn!
