‘….the electrifying sounds of Jo Meares’ Silver Bullets brought the audience to a standing ovation at the end of their brilliant performance. Mark McCartney on ripping lead guitar, brilliant, Charlie Barker on mesmerizing bow and saw and backing vocals, Jo Meares leading the vocals and the irrepressible, wild Mark Carson on stand up double bass. A memorable session, fab night Tappy.’

Back seat Mafia review:
"This is a magnificent album. Steeped in an antipodean dusty dryness yet leavened by bright rays of sunshine and Meares's eloquent poetry that strike like shards of lightning. Jo Meares' Silver Bullets take us on an extraordinary journey into the heart of darkness: a swampy gothic paradise laced with white frills and blood red velvet. His voice is an unguent, a salve that at the same time hypnotises and mesmerises, drags you into a beautiful stunning abyss" – Arun Kendall.
Sydney favourites - the enormously entertaining and fun band, Meshky, will support on the night. Meshky bring a unique blend of gypsy-punk cabaret playing brilliant covers and originals, creating energetic live performances characterized by rhythm, theatre, and rebellion.
