Stretch Limousine

Headin' Down
Hug You Squeeze You

Stretch Limousine is a local Sapphire Coast trio which features

Stevie Knight on guitar and vocals

Kingi Wineti on bass and vocals, and

Yarnnie Drakopoulos on drums.

All three of these likely lads have extensive musical histories.

In August 2018, they pulled into The PBGB Shed intent on recording some songs for use as a promotional demo.

We've known each of these guys for a while. In fact one of the earliest gigs PBGB ever did was at Yarnnie's 'Cantina' tapas and cocktails nightspot in Merimbula waaay back in the early days.

Yarnnie is also the boss man at local community radio station 97.5 Sapphire fm. Sapphire DJs are great supporters of PBGB and regularly play our songs. So yea, Yarnnie is in our good books !

Anyway, they lugged in, plugged in, tuned up, and with nary a pause knocked out a clutch of songs from their repertoire. Basically they just played one of their sets while the recorder was rolling.

Neil took the songs home and added some of his magic, but basically what you hear on the songs listed above is what they played live on the spot. Nice work boys !

'Hug You Squeeze You' is a Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble cover. It's a relatively obscure tune that SRV featured in his live repertoire for years before it finally turned up on an SRV compilation cd in 2000.

'Headin Down' was written by Melbourne band Electric Mud, for whom Stevie played bass in the early 90s.
