WARRNAMBOOL rock'n'roll band Airborne is flying high after being named best musicians at the Push-On Battle of the Bands competition. The state finals, at Melbourne last Sunday, saw the Warrnambool quartet crank-up the volume and blast their way to success. "It came across that we're a pub band. That's where we belong and where we'd rather be — we're obviously not a band for 12-year-olds," lead singer and guitarist Joel O'Keeffe said. "Most of the bands were playing poppy stuff and had the amps turned up to three or four. We came on and turned the amps up to 10 and let them have it." O'Keeffe said the award was good recognitiion for the band. "I guess it means we can play our instruments all right. We've been in a few (competitions) but nothing as big as this."

There has been a lot of people on this tour assuming the wall of Marshall cabs is fake and made up of cardboard boxes. I can confirm they are all real, mic’d up and switched on. They are rather loud.
