Pic: Rohan Kelly Source: The Daily Telegraph RETIRED footy hunk-turned-rocker Eric Grothe Jr has dared the Madden twins to put their money where their mouths are, calling on the so-called Sydneysiders to get behind the effort to save iconic Sydney pub The Annandale. Taking to Twitter to launch his campaign to help the Sydney rock venue stay afloat yesterday, Grothe Jr - who quit rugby league to focus on his band Shinobi - told Confidential he opted to single out the Maddens after meeting them during an appearance on The Matty Johns Show several years ago. The Good Charlotte rocker twins have since claimed - mostly via a Vodafone campaign - they are set to become a permanent residential fixture in Sydney with Joel Madden attached to a second season of The Voice. "I just thought that if they claim to be Sydneysiders and they care about music then maybe they should help get behind one of the most iconic Australian live music venues," Grothe Jr told Confidential. I know they are really nice, really down to earth guys and I know they like good bands even though their kind of music is a bit more commercial. I just think they should try and use their influence for something that could make a huge difference to the Sydney music scene. No sooner had Grothe Jr called out the twins via Twitter, his #maddendalehotel hashtag took flight, trending on Twitter and attracting attention from music fans throughout Sydney. The Madden's are yet to respond. It may all be by the by, however, with the Annandale owners Matt and Dan Rule announcing on Facebook that the future of the pub may no longer be in doubt. Matt and Dan meet with the bank today to discuss the position of the hotel. The bank are reviewing that now," the statement on the Annandale Hotel Facebook page read.
