🐶 SCOOP DOGG | The Cryptic Messages Revealing Powderfinger's Imminent Reunion?!

Susie O'Neill (0:16)

Yeah, Mike, I broke it. I broke it just before.

Mike Gambaro (0:20)

You broke it about 12 hours too late, Susie. She does that.

David Lutteral (0:26)

Yes, that's all right. We just report, you decide, you know, like Fox News.

Mike Gambaro (0:30)

At the end of the day, there's only a few gold medals between us, but you know what? Powderfinger is the only thing that's been on my mind the last 24 hours. How insane is this?

David Lutteral (0:37)

It's pretty crazy. You just did one then, baby. I got you on my mind. But there's all these cryptic messages.

What have they been? Have they been billboards, Mikey?

Mike Gambaro (0:45)

So first of all, heading around through Brisbane, saw a billboard above the White Fox building in James Street. That then piqued my curiosity, couldn't find anything, blah, blah, blah. But then an Instagram page appeared in my feed, The Return of the Electric Horseman. As we all know, it is the final track in Powderfinger's 1996 album, Double Horse.

Susie O'Neill (1:03)

Oh, I didn't know that.

Mike Gambaro (1:03)

Absolutely timeless. Amazing. It's the best thing ever. But then that then had cryptic Instagram posts on it, and like a bunch of code and a bunch of everything. And then an image was posted of the billboard I saw. What did the billboard say? It just sent me into overdrive. It just sent a bunch of numbers, just like everything had to be decoded. The Brisbane billboard, though, was almost unreadable, except there was a specific date, 13-11-2010.

Now, if you know music, November 13th, 2020, it's the final ever show Powderfinger ever played when they were together as a band at River Stage. And I wish I was there, but you know what? I think there's a chance I'll be able to see Powderfinger live.

David Lutteral (1:45)

So, do you think, I mean, the Reunion Tour is the obvious thing. I mean, what else could it possibly be? I mean, surely.

And the other point is too, Mike, I saw that a couple of the members, I think it was definitely Bernard, maybe Hoggy or someone had liked a couple of the posts on Instagram as well. So, I mean, what else could it be?

Mike Gambaro (2:09)

Well, me doing some digging, I even found the official Instagram pages for Powderfinger and the official Facebook pages for Powderfinger have also liked these posts. But you know, it's something major's got to be coming. You wouldn't just buy Billboard space in capital cities and launch some cryptic Instagram account and hide exact Powderfinger stuff, like Powderfinger stats through it. Like you're finding in there, it says Aria's 18, Powderfinger won 18 Aria awards, Apra's three, they've won three Apra awards, Top 6, Pick You Up, Finish No. 6 on Triple J, Hottest 100 Were you up all night just deciphering this, mate? Mate, you know that always sunny in Philadelphia meme where Charlie's running his hand over the conspiracy board? That's been me or not. I've been messaging everyone. And you know what? Even JC always responds to my messages. I've sent him a message. He's ghosting me, which is weird, which is very weird. I'm just going to say this, mate, I haven't slept.

Susie O'Neill (3:05)

Could it be, hey, could it be like a TV sort of Netflix special or that type of thing?

Mike Gambaro (3:09)

Actually, it could be Susie.

I've seen some, you know, on the reddits and things, there's been some rumours say it might be a Powderfinger exhibition. It might be, you know, the anniversary of Double Allergic. So it might be like a vinyl release. It might be something like that. But for you to do all this stuff.

David Lutteral (3:24)

It seems like a lot, a lot of effort.

Mike Gambaro (3:26)

It's too much. It's too much. And I've got some numbers that I've been told to call this morning. So this is just the beginning. I'm chasing this all week.

David Lutteral (3:35)

Well, JC can't hide forever. He's the night commissioner. I mean, he's the commission.

Mike Gambaro (3:39)

You know what? I'm going to be camping outside the fort all day just to see him walk in. Yeah.

David Lutteral (3:45)

Just watch your musical.

Susie O'Neill (3:46)

Oh, okay. That's what he's talking about. My cousin's really good friends with him. Do you want me to ask my cousin if he... Who? JC.?

Mike Gambaro (3:51)

Yeah. We're all very good friends.

You've just invited two people. Use your cousin. Use your cousin so he can use all our resources.

David Lutteral (3:58)

Maybe use your cousin. You recall.
