Despite the upbeat, quirky nature of the music, the song is about Pete Clarke's Italian grandfather, Alfie, who emigrated to Australia pre-WWII to escape the rise of fascism in his own country. After the second world war started, a combination of paranoia and xenophobia in Australia saw Italian ex-pats like Alfie consigned to internment camps for suspicion of being 'Nazi sympathisers' . Alfie spent 4 years in the camp, known as Loveday Camp No. 9, despite the fact that he had fought as an ally in WW1. </p>

A super sized helping of Americana via Bris Vegas!<br><br>Ken Kunin is the real deal. The LA singer/songwriter spent the best part of the 90's and early 2000's making records and touring the US. After a move to Australia & some time out of the music business he's back in the ring with a new record 'Living in Wynnum'. The Red Earth Ramblers have been brewing their bluesy Roots and Americana at various watering holes around Brisbane over the last 18 months with a driving rhythm section and tasty licks, they got the blues and know the blues. Mermaid Avenue, took their marching orders from Wilco two years ago and have since expanded upon their initial influences with a diverse range of well crafted songs straddling the divide between alt.country and indie rock.
