Tex Perkins - Beasts Of Bourbon - Sorrow (McCoys-Merseys-David Bowie cover) (Just A Version JTV) video

Okay! This is my theory and I'm sticking with it. The Beasts Of Bourbon had just released their latest album, "Little Animals". On the promo tour they get asked to do a "Like A Version" cover for Triple J radio and JTV. They pick a cover of a cover. Most people think it's a cover of David Bowie's Sorrow but in fact the original version was by The McCoys but in the UK it was a decent hit for The Merseys. Confused? But I digress! Tex Perkins and the boys rip out this really cool cover version of "Sorrow". BANG! 12 months later they are doing a BrisVegas cover band, wearing white suits and performing the most cheesy 80's tunes under the moniker of Tex Perkins & The Ladyboyz. Watch as the seeds are being sown for Tex's next pet project. Details: Beasts Of Bourbon - Sorrow (Just A Version) Originally broadcast on ABC-HD on JTV on the 26th of Rocktober 2007)
