“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’
Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

The Donkeys, DRINKSTER's favourite rock and R&B trio - anywhere - officially split twelve years ago when guitarist Lez Karski moved to Western Australia. Since then he's lived way out east; now he's gone west again. They reform for rare impromptu one-offs whenever Lez saunters through town. This visit just happened to coincide with bassist and Mixmasters Studio guru Mick Wordley being inducted into the Adelaide Music Hall of Fame. I can't recall a tighter, more blistering session than this one at The Whitmore. They sizzled!
