The Good Sports

Overview

Happy Birthdays were in order at Southside Tea Room last week, with the small venue celebrating it's first year of operation, and reigning supreme as one of Brisbane's trendiest little cafe bars. Remarkably too, in twelve months they've proved to Brisbane they don't settle for less than top shelf when it comes to hosting gigs – connect the dots and you'll realise The Good Sports fit Southside Tea Room's mold quite snuggly.

Nash, Jake, Andre, Liam and Lily are the geezers that make up this boppy little rock'n'roll band. Their 60s inspired sound and same era inspired look makes for a welcome alternative, grunge rock revival for the Brisbane music scene. The only way they could become cooler would be for them to add a sitar to the mix, wear matching sweaters and bring home-made quiches to their gigs. For now though, let's just say if David Boon, Wally Lewis and Thorpey had as much musical ability as they did sporting talent, they'd still be pressed making a funkier sound than The Good Sports.
