Back in the 60's, on Bogus Slogan's first visit to Australia, the band came to the land DownUnder as virtual unknowns. While the band had work permits, they did not have a tour booked. In fact, only the Stupid Foreign Fan Club had fronted them a paid venue in the "High Noon" town of Broken Hill. (Band Members were greatly amused when a native showed them Broken Hill on a map).
However, things worked out...Bogus Slogan was able to play a dozen major shows as a supporting act. On off nights the band would find a local bar with a stage and play for beers and tips. After two months, it was time for a vacation back home.
Recently, in honor of the long past Stupid Foreign Fan Club, the band held a dance and ice cream social. Hancock Arena was turned into a Winter Wonderland with free ice cream for everyone who had a ticket. What a beautiful mess. Concert proceeds were donated to local charities. Cherry Garcia anyone?
