about

Travelling Show is a cynical snapshot of the transient nightlife ‘scene’ in Auckland. Harmonies and a jangling twelve string form the bedrock of a mid-sixties sound that is braced against a wicked baseline. The simple sentiment of the song is achingly hollow, reflective of the last few hours defore dawn. Mini Simmons is joined on 'Travelling Show' by the vicious talent of Matthias Jordan on Hammond Organ.

lyrics

Gina’s in the bathroom she’s holding up the whole damn line
Suzy’s on the balcony smoking away the time
There’s cats in the alley looking for a place to go
But you can’t stay here, welcome to the travelling show

Oh and the room begins to glow
With a never ending flow
Of

New York thieves and cheap red wine
One girl mirrors another’s lie
New York thieves and cheap red wine
The travelling troupe leaves town tonight

Jackie’s by the fire trying to catch a-forty winks
Well Lucy’s in the stairwell looking for another fix
There’s cats in the alley looking for a place to go
But you can’t stay here, welcome to the travelling show

Yeah and the night moves too slow
So Gina says it’s time to go
And then I’m stopped by

New York thieves and cheap red wine
One girl mirrors another’s lie
New York thieves and cheap red wine
The travelling troupe leaves town tonight

Mini Simmons Auckland, New Zealand

Dreamt up on the pacific highways of Mexico, electrified campfire séances propelled the band onto the stages of the Auckland club scene. Hard working and hard living, it was here they honed the intense high-energy live show for which they have earned a name.
