PLAYPEN BECOMES BOMBAY ROCK
The Playpen in Townsville's Flinders St West is changing its name to Bombay Rock as part of a major makeover. Owner Santalucia Group will relaunch the venue in March. The changes are under Wayne Schellhorn, who joined as liquor operations general manager nine weeks ago. He previously ran venues as the Cri, Noodies on the Beach, Bullwinkles and did PR and marketing for the Seaview in the early '90s. Bombay Rock is a familiar name for venues: one ran in Melbourne in the 1970s and 1980s (it was namechecked in Australian Crawl's "Beautiful People") and in Surfers Paradise in the 1980s.

in the paper a little while ago
they are waiting for some hold up
and then its under way
something else they are doing at the same time i think
fingers crossed!

there were also reports that the Santalucia Group have backed out of the deal from lack of support from council and residents.

oh...that would suck if they back out....i think it's a great idea! there are sooo many great australian bands that townsville is missing out on...and maybe then townsville will learn how to act at gigs, instead of yelling out "show us ya muff" to the performers!!
and now that there has been a few more bands coming, i think townsville is getting a taste for it and would get behind the idea...

maybe i'm wrong, maybe this is my wishful thinking...

This list is far from realistic./

1. Coldplay
2. Placebo
3. N*E*R*D (Never going to happen, but a girl can dream)
4. Bette Midler
5. Mindless Self Indulgence
6. Blink 182
7. Rammstein
8. Sigur Ros
9. Hanson

and I forgot to add Sia in. She'd be somewhere up the top though.
