	Double On Hearts & Co: WHAT: Unplugged Camp Quality WHERE: Potbelly Bar, Belconnen WHEN: Fri Aug 28 Like all good bands should, Double On Hearts was born after a messy drinking session at the pub turned into a rocking jam session one evening in early '07. Matt (drums), Simon (lead guitar), Sean (vocals and guitar) and Jerome (bass) include Metallica, Guns N Roses and The Living End amongst their influences. They certainly have an original sound - whatever they're doing, it seems to work - and after a few months of hibernation they're back with a new name, a new sound and an acoustic set on August 28 at The Potbelly Bar, Belconnen, all for charity, kicking off at 9pm.
