The Bob Dylan Revue and Bob Dylan - A Close Shave in Sydney

2007-07-27T22:14:00.000-07:00

SYDNEY, Australia, 28 July 2007 - Tenderhooksmusic today announced that after extensive negotiations a tour schedule has been agreed that will accommodate both Bob Dylan and The Bob Dylan Revue in Sydney for August 2007.

Douglass Bishop, who fronts The Bob Dylan Revue as Dylan, said "for a while there it looked like The Bob Dylan Revue tour schedule conflicts could compromise ticket sales for the real Mr Dylan and that's the last thing we want to do."

Tenderhooksmusic management said "We understand the enormous effort Dylan has put in to come out to Australia and have agreed to play other venues, abandoning plans to include The Sydney Entertainment Centre in the tour at this time."

The Bob Dylan Revue will instead be playing three of Sydneys finest music venues: 19 August at The Brass Monkey in Cronulla, 24 August at The Vanguard in Newtown and 25th August at The Heritage Hotel in Bulli.

In The Bob Dylan Revue, with over thirty songs laid down in the evening, Bishop is outstanding in the role. His uncanny vocals and Dylan-looks, fine harmonica work and costume transformations bring to life enduring Dylan hits such as, Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, Hurricane and Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues.

“This will be a rich evening with some of the best music of our times” said Bishop. “I’m blown away to be performing these songs with some of Sydney’s top musicians, this band seriously rocks.”

With stand-out lead guitar by Dennis Val, Stan Holroyd the Hammond organ hypnotist, Guy Chapman’s effortless bass and violin and Chris Thompson in the engine room on drums, the band captures the essence of Dylan's magic but also produce an authentic sound of its own.

The real Mr Dylan who turned 66 on the 24th of May has his name on the door but was unavailable for comment on whether he would be attending the shows.

*A huge day of lugging gear and setting up, playing, bumping out and driving home.
** Out standing near the pokies talking shit.

A little Dylan Lovin'

"e suis tellement en amour avec Bob Dylan vous avez même pas idée!
Disons que c'est le seul héro vivant qu'il me reste. Si je m'étais pas retenue, je crois que j'aurais mis des dixaines et des dixaines de photos de lui sur ma page, mais je vous aurais trop tapé sur les nerfs. haha

Mais bref, je l'adore pour bien des raisons...
Parce qu'il est poète
Parce que ce qu'il dit est vrai
Parce que c'est un talentueux musicien
Parce qu'il a un de ses regards...
Parce qu'il joue de l'harmonica
Parce qu'il est arrogant
Parce que lui et Lennon s'entendais bien, mais pas trop longtemps, ce qui prouve qu'ils se ressemblaient énormément.
et finalement, parce que c'est Bob Dylan." Hirondelle
