If Elvis Presley hadn't had a heart attack on the toilet about 25 years ago, he would have been enjoying his 68th birthday yesterday. To celebrate this fact - the birthday, not the heart attack - Warrnambool cover band "Old Spice" will remember the king in its Saturday night performance at Port Fairy's Caledonian Inn. Bassist Michael Schack said the group usually played a couple of Elvis numbers, but on the weekend they intend to play an entire set of Presley tunes. He explained Old Spice guitarist-vocalist Garry McColl was a fan of the rock 'n' roll legend and was even planning to slip on a jumpsuit to belt out a few classics. "Garry is a bit of an Elvis fanatic - he's visited Graceland", Schack said. The other members of the band, guitarist Tim Netherway and drummer Eoin Cameron will not be dressing up Elvis style, Schack said, but he welcomed any audience members who felt like putting on their blue suede shoes for the night.
