Two Preson Bike - The Town Bikes fan site

L-R: Gabi, Myself, Carla

I first met the Town Bikes at the Tote for a "cry baby" afternoon one Sunday
early in 2004 and was introduced to them by Phil from GIT. Over the next year I tried to see them perform regularly and would see both of them around town seeing bands when they were not performing.

As they are a performance duo, you can't really capture what they do by taking photos so a lot of the times I saw them I ended up filming them with the video clip function on my camera. Even though I haven't put most of these videos on this site, the best thing about doing that was that I was able to show Gabi and Carla their performance straight after they had finished and send them a copy on video later that they could watch on their DVD player.

My favourite shows of theirs so far have been their two going away shows, not because I wanted to see them leave, but due to how different they were and all the different acts that performed from the friends they have made in the Melbourne music scene.

Even though I haven't even seen them as much as I used to see GIT, the Town Bikes have become very special to me and I was happy to give them a going away present for their trip overseas in 2005 to show how much they meant to me.

I am really looking forward to seeing them again and I hope they do a lot of fun shows in the future and makes lots of friends.

Thanks,
