REVIEW OF BLACK BAG - The Age - Tim Hunter - Oct 12, 2007

4 stars

Put two cabaret singers such as Wes Snelling and Benn Bennett together in a stark white room, give them a keyboard, a black bag, a handful of dreadful songs from the 1980s, and some bad German accents, and look out.

Because they're going create something unique, absurd and downright infectious. Repressed maiden Dominic-a (Snelling) escapes the tyrannical Teutonic clutches of Maximilian (Bennett), with the help of notorious '80s pop legends Martika and La Toya Jackson, and finds his/her voice in a free mic bar in Hobart, of all places.

Their deadpan German schtick is perfectly pitched here, and it works well with the hilarious and wonderfully performed songs. Snelling is always interesting to watch, and he has the perfect foil in Bennett. Keep your eye on these two; they're sure to remain surprising.

Hi Wes,

I really enjoyed your performance(s) at Section 8 last week. The whole night was fun, but your portrayal of the narrator presiding over the True birth of Richard the monkey was just hysterical!

Thanks for adding me to your friends list.

*** my love will go on... ***

i know time will never dampen
the immense love i hold for you
as time will never take away
your beauty and your youth

you will remain a moment
of pure, complete perfection
catalogued by so many under
'the world's most important invention'

fuck sliced bread and mobile phones
plasma tellies and silicon titties
you will outlast such fads and trends
you are a god amongst the living

to those that have not heard of you
i have only this to say
when and if you meet him
thank you're lucky stars, numsay?!
