The Spacejunk EP is scheduled for landing on the 15th of July and we're in the middle of mixing SC2. Its a busy time, so it has affected my blogging :-(.

ye gods.

So, to keep it short:
  • Playing this weekend at Avalon  RSL (Friday Night), Blacktown Sports(?) (Saturday)
  • Spacejunk back from mastering, final artwork getting completed and then off for pressing, Will it be ready by the launch????? Only St Nigel can answer that question!
  • SC2 in mixing - three songs mixed, 9 to go. Mastering to follow, then artwork etc etc.
  • Video clips in production for SC2. Stay tuned for more...err...videoclips
There's a bunch of stuff happening, which i will post, as often as I can, without my head exploding from trying to remember that one teeny last detail.

Yikes!

Great night at the SBS monthly Jam last night. Great night for female vocalists with Michelle Van der Meer and Vikki Nikk doing stand out sets.

For those that aren't in the loop, the Sydney Blues Society puts on a jam with a house band on the last sunday of the month at the Botany View hotel in newtown. We had the pleasure of introducing the nights jamming and finishing the vening off with a final set.

Even with the slightly down communal vibe of the last few days, Sunday was a celebration of blues and live music (freudian slip?).

A good night for a jam and a great night for a gig. Cheers to KK and Lindsay in particular, Lindsay having driven all the way from Eden just to catch the show.

Sandwiched between the football and the ten pm curfew, a night at the SBS is a nice way to spend a Sunday evening. be sure to get along an check out the local talent.

We have been lucky enough to be the beneficiaries of help from our friends on our videoclips...thus it was only fitting that I served on the crew this weekend for one of Alan's shoots.

What a great location, you'd hardly believe we were in Sydney. Cheers to Gail for letting us film in her house.
