Fresh off what he describes as a “creative exchange” with Noel and Liam Gallagher at last weekend’s Oasis concert, local dachshund and serial overachiever Trevor has declared he’s “ready to take it to the mic.”

In a statement issued from his dog bed Monday morning, Trevor confirmed he’ll be appearing at Skeeters Southside’s open mic night in Jannali this Thursday - and is “in talks” to collaborate with Engadine’s favourite 90s cover band, The Crabs.

According to Trevor, the band “approached him spiritually, if not logistically.” Witnesses maintain he simply overheard them rehearsing from the carpark and took it as divine intervention.

“They bring the bite, I bring the bark,” he told The Shire Gazette. “It’s pure synergy. The Shire’s answer to Oasis - just with shorter legs.”

Trevor says his debut performance will include an emotional ballad titled Who Let Jess Out? - described as “part breakup anthem, part concept album about shared custody.” Sources close to Skeeters confirm no one has rehearsed it, approved it, or technically agreed to it.

Staff say Trevor has already requested stage lighting, and a fog machine.

When asked if his new musical era is inspired by Oasis, Trevor nodded solemnly. “Noel told me to follow my truth,” he said. “Or possibly to move. Either way, I’m moving - straight to Skeeters.”

One night only. Two paws. Three chords. No regrets.
