Howdy Folks.

What a great day. I forgot how much we like working with Ben @everlandstudios. We got through three tracks today, with some vocals and some tweaks to come tomorrow.

Rosie broke a string during the recording of 'Hey child' and it forced him into some Crazy Phrasing, it's awesome. 

I'm listening to guide tracks right now. Yay!

More tomorrow!

Woot. A good result.

Yesterdays rehearsal did what it needed to do.

We're getting geared up to record 'Chalk Angels', 'Hey Child' and Nobody Knows Better Than Me' as replacement tracks for SC8.

Chalk is good to go, Hey child has improved with a year of development at Live shows.

Mr Wizard wasn't too happy with Nobody Knows Better. The previously recorded version relied heavily on Organ sounds and Mr Wizard believes the song should stand on its own.

When we did the first version, we set it in a key that suited Danny's voice and recorded the version with a guide Vocal.

Now 11 months later, it's back to us to work out what we do with it.

Yesterdays rehearsal paved the way. We changed the key, slowed it down a little, now Mr Wizard is in favour of it.

Just have to work out if we're going to add Organ again.

It's good to be back in the studio. The work continues.

Howdy Folks.

After a suitable time spent offline celebrating Life by Doing Stuff, I realised I hadn't updated the site.

We've had a quiet month on the gig front whilst Brother Bill takes a Jazz odyssey to Canberra & Melbourne, Rosie breathes a sigh of relief after working his buns off on our US tour and I make a film.

No I'm not going to tell you about it yet. I'm busy doing it. Promotion for it is on another website. Find it. you've got skills. I believe in you.

Let's just say it's a collective effort with a bunch of local muso's to do something worthwhile to lift our morale. 'Nuff said.

Big ups to Dion for lifting our production up above My Phone Camera (dont knock the phone cam tho')

Oh Yeah here's some additional pics from the blacklight night with Betty

You really should come to one of our shows, they can be quite enjoyable :-)

Oh yeah #2. We've been working on the right way to finish SC8. 

So. More to do. Stay tuned.

Howdy Folks.

Well we're working our butts off on getting our next tour underway, and every day I go to my email to check what's come in over night.

Wrapped up in CD pressing, licensing, logistics etc, I was saddened to wake up today to yet more bad news from France.

There have been so many tragedies of late it's hard to appreciate each one without a growing weariness at so much collective grief.

Once again, it seems the world has gone mad. To borrow from Lincoln, we are ruled by the meaner spirits of our nature.

We wish for peace, not just for those we agree with, but for all.

We hope that each of us who has to make a choice, chooses non violence. The alternative, no matter how justified, just seems to breed more of the same.

We're band and make no claims of wisdom or higher authority, but I don't think we could do what we do if we didn't like People.

People tell us their stories and we re-tell them, thus we are part of their story too. 

We're saddened by the stories lost to the telling and we hope for peace.

Howdy Folkses.

Cimi has very kindly asked me to join her on her radio program.

Yeah I know, no one can figure out which genre we belong to. That's cool. We'll write the songs and other people can figure out what classification suits them.
