Hey ACCA/DACCA!!!
I just wanted to send you guys an e-mail and let you all know what an awesome night I had watching you at Redcliffe RSL. I was with a group of friends and we all had an unreal time. Absolutely brilliant. I was right down at the stage waving to I think it was Mike Bristow. You all paid special attention to your fans and made the night extra special. Hopefully I will make it to your Kallangur or Albany Creek gigs. My ears were majorly sore the next day but well worth it. Keep up the great work guys! YOU ROCK!
Kind regards,
Kim.

I was looking through the AC /DC pics on the MMM website and found this one for you. A great bit of PR work for Acca Dacca I reckon :-)
Yes we were there and also at Runaway Bay Tavern for a while on Friday night, the later start threw us a little bit and we had to leave early. I'm sorry to hear that DJ is moving on but Daniel should settle in without too much trouble. We love the new Angus - he really looks the part. As you said to everyone on Friday night Snake definitely would have been the ideal support act for AC/DC.
Can't wait to see you guys in June at Brothers Leagues Club in Cairns or maybe the Silkwood Hotel.

You were amazing! What a great tight sound and such great showmanship. i was disappointed you didn't play "long way to the top" but understand your reasons after reviewing your site. Ive been raving to friends in Brisbane how good you are but i can't see any brisbane dates for you on the southside. when are you next playing on the southside?
regards

Just writing to let the boys know how much the entire crowd enjoyed Saturday nights show at the Sporties Club. My wife who is not a fan of hard rock even had a good time. The best part was watching 50 year olds letting their hair down and embarrassing their children who came for a look more out of curiosity than anything else. I’m sure I am not alone expressing my disappointment with the band choosing not to play LONG WAY TO THE TOP. I guess it may be a mark of respect to not play it. Some things in life belong to people who may not wish to share them. Anyway apart from that minor whinge we all loved the show and look forward to the boys coming to Adelaide.
Kind Regards,
Steve Krieg
Response
Hey Steve
Thank you for your email, and sorry you were dissapointed bout ""LONG WAY"The reason we dont always play this is the same reason AC DC themselves didn't always bring that one out on stage, that is a REAL bagpipe player or the lack of, ACCA DACCA make sure we deliver the goods every time so if we cant get a player to do the job exactly it wont be done at all.
A lot of bands do it with guitar or come up with a set of pipes then have a keybord playing behind, cheesey!!
But on the odd ocasion we do find the odd local pipe player to do it for us and yes it goes off.
Anyway glad you had a great time Steve, and yes we will be touring through SA and WA next year.
Cheers mate and again thank you for the letter. Larry

Saw your show in Ballina on Thu. night with a couple of mates, then backed up again at Casino on Fri.night with my daughter from Uki. We all absolutely enjoyed your shows, and hope you continue to perform for many more years to come. Both my daughter and I have been fortunate to have seen AC/DC at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on different occasions, and find your show a comparable experience-just great. Hope to see you come through Ballina again next year. My daughter said to mention that you are ALL great musicians- not just your drummer! We both purchased Snake CDs over the two nights, mine was used as a gee up for the trip over for the second show. Hope that scores us a few points. Thanks again for a great couple of nights.

How you going guys I was at Arana Hills last night and had such an unbelievable good time one of the best nights of my life and I will always remember it. You guys are absolutely awesome. I mainly listen to ac/dc ever since I was young.Thanks guys for that beautiful music. I wish there were more gigs around brisbane but I can't wait for your next tour of brisbane. Thanks again Larry and the other guys, I loved it, it was so awesome.
Do you guys actually know the ac/dc legends.
Thanks, Don

hey Guys,
Have seen you at Summernats for last couple of years and wanted to let you know that i think you get better each time, Your performance this year was so high energy and thrilling to watch, one of my close friends was in tears because you bought back memories of when she went to the ACDC concert, so i just thought id let you know you do an awesome job and i hope to see you again at the next summernats in Canberra.
Also we noticed you had new Guitarists, they were great and very into it, awesome show they bring a lot of youth and Energy to the show. Not that the oldies were bad but the show is getting better so it must be positive.
Nice Work This Year.
Dan Borrett (ACT
Thanks Dan & yes this line up is a killer!! We Came, We Rocked, We Kicked Canberra's Arse

Your show in Port Macquarie (Panthers) last night ,13th, "rocked".
We saw the "best" tribute to Bon Scott,& AC/DC that we could have wished for.
Keep the legend going for a long time,& come back to "Port" soon.
Regards Vic. Play loud & long.
Thanks Vic we had a ball as well and yes you will see us at Panthers later this year.
2006-11-05
Saw your show at Atherton 4th November-AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
As you proudly said "we are the next best thing to AC/DC themselves", how right you were. The music was simply incredible, not one note was out of step with the original in any way. If Bon Scott was still alive today he would be proud of all of you.
Should the real AC/DC ever have to cancel a show(god forbid) Acca/Dacca would be the perfect stand-in for them.
Carlo Barletta, the publican of the Atherton Hotel said you'll be coming back in the future and so will we.
Acca/Dacca is definitely not just nother bunch of musos doing covers but a genuine tribute to AC/DC, one of the pioneers of Australian rock that showed the rest of the world how it's done.
Keep up the great work.
John and Marisa Noack
Thanks John & Marisa, getting this type of mail makes all those grueling hours on the road worth it & yes we will certainly be back 2007
hey boys,
Just seen you guys at shellharbour workers! Awesome show! When people say tribute bands you think" yeah they should be ok.. sound similar to the real thing" you guys sound exactly like the real thing, it would be hard to seperate the difference in my opinion.. Any fan of ACDC or any fan of great live music should deffinately go see these guys in action! Looking forward to seeing you guys again next time your on the south coast, Hopefully in the near future..
thanks Again
Hey Glen
Thanks for your letter & yes we intend on breaking into the Woongong & Sydney circut so keep an eye out for us.
Any Skeptical punters who havn't seen ACCA DACCA yet take heed of Glen's words
Hi Larry (and the rest of the gang),
Well it may be a bit late but I just wanted to say what a blast it was to see you guys at the Nats again this year. You promised me the show was going to be better and boy were you right. You really kicked arse this year. The way you work the crowd is fantastic. The energy you guys put into the show is fantastic.
Mind you I was getting a bit concerned when after a few songs they started chanting "Thunderstruck". You guys dead set rock and it just makes the night one hell of a party when you get out there and do your stuff. It makes my job a bit easier too as (drunk) people are easier to deal with when everyone is in a good mood (especially me).
The changes you have made in terms of what you do in the show really stood out this year compared to last year. Like I said the energy this year was just unbelievable. For me I think the best part of the show is seeing how much fun you all have.
The whole group just seemed to be putting in 110% this year and you just sounded great. My mates and I still cannot believe how well you (Larry) go from a Bon Scott era song and then into a Brian Johnson era song. Unbelievable.
On a personal note it was great to meet all of you this year and my hat is of to Matt for hanging back and having a good chin wag with me even after the nights entertainment had finished. I was happy to hear you say that you got to the arena with minimal trouble compared to last year.
I think it is important for the organisers to ensure this happens again for the next summernats. If they do not hire you again then they have rocks in their heads. If you do come back to Nats it will be one of the reasons I will work there again. Seeing you guys play it what makes it all worthwhile for me. I am in awe of you all.
Rock on guys. I hope to catch you in April when you come to the Hellenic club. Might be hard with easter and school holidays but I'm working on it.
Carl de Vries
Thanks Carl mate it was good to see you out there again this year and we really appreciate the great feedback you have given us. We always do our best to stay true to the original tunes and keep the diehard fans happy. We hope to be at the Nats again when they roll around, if not we will see you at the Hellenic Club mate!
Cheers, Larry & the Boys.

Hi One and All,
I wanted to drop you an e-mail to thank you from the bottom of my
heart for your awesome performance on Saturday 8/10/05 @ "The Twisted Arm"
Caboolture.
I was misfortunate in the early days and never got to see AC/DC live
so you could say I was like a screaming school girl on Saturday. I
have been a huge fan of AC/DC since I was 15 and was amazed at how
much you guys looked, sounded and performed like the real macoy.
Once again keep up the great work guys as AC/DC will never die or be
forgotten especially with your band.
If possible can you please forward gig dates when you will be playing
in the area of Brisbane as I have many friends that would love to see
you guys perform as I have done nothing but rave about your performance.
Your new fan
Renee West
Thanks so much Renee we are glad you had a great time! And we really appreciate your feedback on our show, just as we appreciate anyone who takes the time to write us. Keep an eye out on our gig guide for when we are playing around Brissie and surrounding areas... We will be back up at Caboolture on 31/12/2005.

Well I was at the Summernats show, in fact I was the guy who helped to get your car to the back of the stand so you could get your gear out. I was working in the grandstand on the night. I think it was Wayne and Damon that came up to the stand to check the stage out when you turned up, and me and my mate explained to them how big the crowd would be and they seemed a little shocked.
I was also the guy at the end of the night before you left to let you know how "farking awesome" (changed so the e-mail security doesn't stop it for bad language - damn Government) the night was.
That might seem a little hazzy to you guys, but at least I got a compliment from Larry before you left the ground. After my farking awesome comment he said "that's great coming from a completely sober person". But there was really no other way to describe the night.
Seriously guys, that show you put on was unbelievable. I am a huge AC/DC fan and have not had the priviledge of seeing them in concert but I tell you what, I don't reckon I need to after seeing your show. It really made my night and in fact I found myself being in a far better mood dealing with drunks trying to get into the grandstand than any previous Nats before purely because I was enjoying the show. I reckon Chic and Don and the gang at the Nats office have to get you back.
The real proof of how well you guys went is about 20 minutes into the strip show I would say 2/3 of the crowd that was there when you guys were playing, left. I was just about deserted. It certainly did not hold my interest anymore. I was also extremely dissapointed to miss your last Canberra/Queanbeyan show at the end of Feb as I was away that weekend.
I was very pissed off and so were my kids actually, not that they would be able to go to it. They are 10, 8, 6 and 3 and they absolutely love AC/DC (they seem to prefer all the Bon Scott material - Jailbreak, TNT, Rock in peace Dirty Deeds etc). Anyway, Hopefully I will catch you next one if you return or better still, I might be able to catch one in Qld as our yearly trip is to the Gold Coast indy (everyone since it started back in 1991).
Rock on guys and thanks for the most memorable night I have ever had not only working at the Nats but also in my life.

Hi guys
I had such a great rocking time when I saw you play at Brothers Leagues at the end of April in Cairns.
Im a huge rock fan and Im in OZ for few weeks but missing my London rock clubs and live music so I jumped straight in a taxi when I saw your advert in the local paper in my hostel in cairns.
so THANKS for the great music I had a rocking time headbanging in the front row all night. Didnt get a chance to say hi as my taxi was waiting so HI!
Now in Sydney finishing my first trip down under... if you ever come accross the big pond let me know.. I often see Dirty DC our London/UK ACDC tribute band but I must say you got the edge! Shame you live so far!
PS Damon last night I climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge it took 3 hours so i didnt hold my breath as you did but I know what you mean it was amazing and the views were worth the climb and the white knuckles...Loving drums myself I must say I was well impressed by your stamina at playing in both bands x Rock on buddy.
Love
Jennifer x
Your London fan

I have visited Surfers the last two years during late January. I saw your gig both years at the Hard Rock cafe. Both occasions, I was in the front row for the! whole show and loved the show. You blokes rock.
I have been to see AC/DC and you are very close to thier style. Obvoiusly I was very pissed at both your shows, but how else would one be listening to great music.
I am 46 years of age and grew up with AC/DC. Only saw one show in 1976 when they backed Boz Scaggs.
I hope you will be back at Hard Rock next year. If you are, I will again be at the front row. Someone told me that you also played the next night at the hotel on the beachfront. Shit I missed that but will attend all gigs in Surfers if you are there next year.
Keep up the good work, you guys certainly enjoy your music and so do I.
Regards
Craig Spicer
