WEDNESDAY UPDATE - TICKETS SELLING OUT FAST!

Who'd a thunk it? Must be the wonderful support acts, but I'm told that tickets for this Friday Night's gig at the Eastern Lounge are selling out fast. I had to beg to get a couple of spares for my own nefarious purposes, so if ya wants one, get in quick.

We're Headlining a 3 band line up this weekend

(oohh, headliners now are we?...sigh..I remember when you were only a support act...awww)

..ahem...I mean, we're AWESOMELY HEADLINING Friday night at the Eastern Lounge at the Roseville Memorial Club.

Did I mention it was AWESOME and requires LARGEST FONT FOR MAXIMUM COOLNESS!

We're supported by two wonderful performers, 

Belinda Holland has a presence all her own - an entertainer through and through, a colourful raconteur as well as a singer of great range and ability. 

A musician’s singer, she can move an audience to hushed silence with a stunning ballad that has her own personal stamp, or bring the house down with one of her original witty blues numbers like ‘The Hot Water Bottle Man Blues’ or ‘Too Skinny to be Trusted’. 
 

Singer, songwriter, pianist, guitarist and activist…Rebecca Moore traverses the plains stylistically between Led Zeppelin's Battle of Evermore and Stevie Nicks' Gold Dust Woman. 

Rebecca is engaging an ever-growing fan base drawn to her humour and openness, the energy of her live shows and the intricacy of the metaphors, poetry and stories in her songs. She tours the world raising funds for orphans and other underprivileged kids living at the Phaung Daw Oo Monastery and school in Mandalay, Burma. There are over 7,000 children now attending this school and Rebecca has so far raised over $16,000 to help re-build their lives

Hi Peoples. Was so good I had to share.

Cheers,

Rosie.

Howdy Folks, back at the THH last night for our continued residency and look! Power!

As you may know, we've been trying out various lighting effects at various shows. last night we tried some rather lower budget models

Who needs all those fancy-shmany motorised deals. That's it, we're off to the Christmas Shop for more blinking bleeping LED's.

Cheers to Pete, Rani, Geoff, Vanessa, Mika, Bill, Anna, Kaye and all the folks who came out for the evening. The Taverners Hill  Hotel is a hidden gem on Parramatta Road and well worth a visit. We're back there in 1 month for our last residency spot there for the year.

Meanwhile, we've got two gigs coming up this next weekend and some video clips to get started on. Yay!

Howdy folks, been a few days since I posted (HA! Pun!) and much like a metaphorical blogging duck, our legs are paddling like mad underneath. Why you say?  

Well, as a totally DIY institution, now that we've made a new album it's time to send it out for radio airplay, reviews, friends and people-you-ought-to-send-an-album-to and all the little things that you have to do when there' no one else to do it for you. I am not sure what some of those things are, but whenever we think we've figured one out, why, we just rush right out and do it.

After a day or filling in customs forms for overseas send-outs, looking up addresses, making sure you've spelled things correctly, making sure you've written things in your neatest hand writing, realising that your "B" looks like an "8", deciding to print it instead (thank you arial font) , realising that for some reason your printer thinks all Black letters should have a red outline,  you find yourself wondering whether you're in a Band or if the 5th Circle of Hell involves a rotation as a Postal Clerk.

All I can say is thankfully we don't have to lick stamps :-) It's all self seal these days. Thanks to Frank for helping with the send outs.

I've been getting some early feedback on Hired Guns and its remarkably positive, so that's nice. You might even hear the odd track played on a few shows on local radio over the next few weeks. 

Meanwhile, we have a string of gigs in the next few months (tomorrow night at the Taverners) , plus some special guest muso's coming to join us (more about that in due course) plus we're due to make some more videoclips, plus some more interviews, we really should rehearse the endings of the new songs from the album and...and oh my lord what now....not more songs, surely. Really? You guys want to work on new songs? Now? But I still have two CD's to post to Belgium...

And so the great CD turns again. Ya finish one and start the next. Hurrah!

Thanks to Ross Fear for a great night on the Australian Spectrum show. As usual, the best part of the night was listening to the great line up of other artists he plays, hey, we've heard all of our stuff already. There were some great tunes from Christina Crofts, Bill Chambers, Mike Kerin (Fettler! yay!), 8-Ball Aitken and lots of others, it is after all, a 3 hour show.

Ross played some of our old stuff (carls chair is holding up well, my chromatic harp on 'up the line' from 'spacejunk' is still suspect, chagrin), some of our new stuff and we talked about...err...stuff. Ross is doing his danged-est to support local acts and is well worth a listen, Tuesday nights 9-12pm on alive 90.5fm.
