Interview: Spooky Men’s Chorale and Dustyesky

Dustyesky

Spooky Men’s Chorale

Choir of Origin… Spooky v Dusty

Mullumbimby Civic Hall | Saturday 11 August | 8pm | $35/$25/$15

Beard v Beard. Weird meets Weirder. Battle of the Baritones. Harmonies of the Hombres!

For one night only, the pride of Mullumgrad plays host to the renowned Spooky Men’s Chorale. An unforgettable evening of song and more song, sweltering charms and so much facial hair. So much! The two groups faced off
in a little chitty chat…

When men sing together…

Dusty: The world is better place, instamatically.

Spooky: Shed happens.

The dark side of a men’s choir…

Dusty: Is like worm in bottle of Mezcal. Looks like worm, tastes like worm, is not worm. We gather, we sing, but we no sleep afterwards.

Spooky: Is seldom seen.

What people don’t realise is that…

Dusty: Russian music is only actual music. Everything else just cheap imitation or bourgeois plot to distract working class from central issues.

Spooky: They’re several steps ahead of us.

When a new man comes to us…

Dusty: Check his tractor for piston wear, his livestock for tick infestation, and wife for child-bearing capacity. Or else he go straight on waiting list!

Spooky: He typically tries too hard.

Women at our concerts…

Dusty: Assess us for potency and beard strength, enjoy leetle bit music then quickly back concentrate on central issues.

Spooky: Don’t need us to complete such a minefield sentence.

It is our dream to…

Dusty: Produce surgical-quality gherkin liqueur from Main Arm plantation and fast track typewriter production for expected increase demand in next 20 years.

Spooky: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

When we are onstage…

Dusty: Like Putin, we revel in robust glory of Soviet history; like Trump we fake it and hope no-one notice; and like Turnbull, well actually he just slapping wet fish, we not like him at all!

Spooky: Nothing else matters!

A note from the editorial team

Some of The Echo’s editorial team: journalists Paul Bibby and Aslan Shand, editor Hans Lovejoy, photographer Jeff Dawson and Mandy Nolan

“The Echo has never underestimated the intelligence and passion of its readers. In a world of corporate banality and predictability, The Echo has worked hard for more than 30 years to help keep Byron and the north coast unique with quality local journalism and creative ideas. We think this area needs more voices, reasoned analysis and ideas than just those provided by News Corp, lifestyle mags, Facebook groups and corporate newsletters.

The Echo is one hundred per cent locally owned and one hundred per cent independent. As you have probably gathered from what is happening in the media industry, it is not cheap to produce a weekly newspaper and a daily online news service of any quality.

We have always relied entirely on advertising to fund our operations, but often loyal readers who value our local, independent journalism have asked how they could help ensure our survival.

Any support you can provide to The Echo will make an enormous difference. You can make a one-off contribution or a monthly one. With your help, we can continue to support a better informed local community and a healthier democracy for another 30 years.”
