BOUNCER : ‘Crime doesn’t pay’
“From behind the velvet rope of the Melbourne night club scene, two MCs, MervdaPerv^ and Benny “Bugzie” Sinclair, ‘tell it how it is’…” with a style of rhyming “unprecedented in its brutal reality”, and a certain sense of humour that “only real Bouncers could portray”. Their debut album ‘King Hits’ features Niko, Pegz, Billy Bunks, Blades and Eloquor. Also featuring on ‘King Hits’ is Ben Hense from Mr Jigga on bass and guitar. Produced by ARIA-award winning CJ Dolan, two-time Australian DMC DJ champion, the album will feature skits by Dave Hedgcock, King of the Clubs and ex-pro boxer (from the days of T.V. Ringside) Dennis “the Flash” Wittnal. “‘King Hits’ will be a must have album.”
BOUNCER : ‘Bouncer’
*TV RINGSIDE screened from July 1966 till June 1975. 319 Programs and 2870 Bouts (1450 on air). The venues included the Channel 7 studios in South Melbourne, Festival Hall Brisbane, South Sydney Leagues Club, the Southern Cross Hotel and of course Festival Hall in Melbourne. Among the hundreds of fighters that appeared were: Barry Michael and Rocky Matioli — who went on from TV RINGSIDE to win World Championships — Hec Thompson and Tony Mundine — each of whom went on to challenge for world titles — Charkey Ramon, Hec Thompson, Bobby Dunn and Toro George — who all won Commonwealth Titles on the program…”
“…The cigar-smoking, joke-cracking [Mervyn Louis] Williams, whose black-rimmed glasses were pinned by ears thickened from boxing, broadcast his ‘Mervisms’ on radio 3DB’s ‘Sports Forum’, and later on HSV7’s ‘TV Ringside’. Tired and beaten boxers ‘couldn’t run out of sight on a dark night’, ‘swayed like a jelly in a wind’, or ‘had less chance than a crippled prawn in a flock of seagulls’.”
