DHB
score a
TREV Nomination
DHB were nominated as the TREV BEST HEADLINING BAND (Entertainment) by
Kim Portch from Gordon Institute of TAFE for their performance there in
September.
Alas it was not to be as DHB lost out to Regurgitator, which was a shock
to all concerned, mainly to DHB drummer Matt Rose who wondered how a band
with a major recording contract and with somewhat of a celebrity profile
would even be eligible for such a contest. It isn't that Regurgitator
isn't a worthy winner; they are, but when you compare them to the other
nominees in this category and see a lot of humble, hard-working bands
with much lower profiles than the 'Gurge, well, it seems a little one-sided.
According to Deb's sister Tammy, it was like "giving a Little Aths
award to Cathy Freeman".
It isn't the first time Matt and Regurgitator have crossed paths. Matt
was previously the drummer for another Melbourne area band, who had scored
an opening slot for the 'Gurge. Without a doubt it most certainly would
have been this band's most important gig to date. With only six days remaining
until the big show, it was decided that Matt was no longer in the band
and that the sound man was immediately replacing him on drums. He was
given this news over a $100 "sorry we're sacking you" steak
dinner.
So it appears that, as far as Matt is concerned, Regurgitator represents
some kind of karmic force destined to ruin his career at every opportunity.
On the other hand, it could just be a spooky coincidence.

Lyric?
They say there are strangers who threaten us,
Our immigrants and infidels.
They say there is strangeness to danger us
In our theatres and bookstore shelves,
That those who know what’s best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves.
Quick to judge,
quick to anger,
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand.
(from “Witch Hunt”, Rush)
