SPIRITS OF THE DEAD @ TOAST FRIDAY 25TH NOVEMBER 2005

Emergency legislation has been passed to ensure that Konrad Lenz & the Spirits of the Dead along with their sinister cohorts, the Mating Season will spend eternity locked away in Guantanamo Bay. Unfortunately the senate has delayed the passing of the bill untill Monday the 28th. This does not stop the radical and obscene rock and roll groups from disseminating their doctrine of filth on Friday the 25th November at the poisoned temple of extremism, Toast, in the Civic district of Canberra. I beckon all Australian citizens to be alert but not alarmed at this terrifying prospect and encourage those brave enough to confront the radical groups and lodge their protest against this vile depravity on the night. Be there at 9pm. Thank you and good night.
