Scott & Charlene’s Wedding
Craig Dermody does sweetly strained vocals and catchy lyrics, with a nod to Jason and Kylie.
Overview
Like all great love stories, the romance of Scott Robinson and Charlene Mitchell was an unlikely one — like Romeo and Juliet, the star crossed lovers came from feuding families and had a less than perfect initial encounter (Scott confused Charlene for a burglar), but went on to defy all odds and capture the hearts of the world via Ramsay St.
In the fashion of Neighbours' favourite prince and princess from whom he borrows his name, pop-grunge artist Craig Dermody aka Scott & Charlene's Wedding has managed to make the bleak beauty of local suburbia appealing to international audiences, now calling New York home. He returns to local shores for a national tour and will perform songs from last year's Paravista Social Club at the Liberty Social this Friday.
While the Yanks might like Dermody's poignant lyrics and simple melodies, nobody understands songs like "Epping Line" and "Footscray Station" like those who have walked the mean streets he memorialises.
