Tune in to Perth’s RTR FM 92.1 this Thursday, 28th February at 8:10am to catch Chris Mason on Breakfast with Barr. He’ll be having a chat about the ’80s TV Theme gig that the Chris Mason Implosion are playing at Swan Basement this Saturday, 1st March, and also playing a couple of classic theme tunes on acoustic guitar. If you’re not near a radio, stream it live or download the mp3 at www.rtrfm.com.au.
Well sort of….head down to the Swan Basement on the 1st of March to see Chris Mason and his band The Implosion shake their magical thing alongside other Perth marvels, The Imps, The Bloods and King Brown. What does TV have to do with any of this? Check the flyer to see why you’ll be spending next week knitting your Magnum P.I. mustache out of the cat hair scraped from the carpet.
