We're playing a couple of co-headline shows with the frighteningly good Peabody in the next week or so - check out the Shows page for details. We were hoping to do the trifecta and play all 3 shows that were planned but sadly we had to pull out of the Woollongong one. My fault - I smashed the Mazda 121 last year en route to a BBK support and with work, wife, 3yr old daughter & being down to only 1 car means I can only play Fri/Sat gigs for the time being. Hoping we can get to Wollongong soon though.

 

Playing with Further the other night was cool - they were sooo good. I hadn't seen them in about 3 years, when they played at Mingara Club at Tumbi Umbi with Gelbison & Something For Kate. All the best to Leo Further with the (almost) new bub and Andy Futher who's about to get married. Hope we can play together again soon.

 

(...and now for some slightly old news from last week)

Beef is still in France - as far as we know. The last we heard from him, he said his chalet in the alps was totally snowed in, with big blizzards coming through etc. He also sustained a nasty gash to the head & shoulders in a freak snowboarding accident - one of those ones where the last thing he remembers was being at the top of a mountain looking down at a run of moguls - next thing he knew he was waking up in the emergency ward of the local hospital with massive head injuries after apparently collecting a tree on the way down. All things considered this is probably no great drama - afterall this is the same guy who severed several toes when he slipped over mowing a lawn in bare feet one time. I hope we hear from Beef again soon - we miss him heaps.

 

In the meantime it's been a busy few weeks in the Sunset camp. Lots of recording - lots of ditching old recordings and starting new ones - lots of ditching the new ones and then going back to the old demos. It's a pretty good time that's happening at the moment. Back & forth, lots of new things...20 or 30 songs going at once. Just that vibe where anything's possible, where there are no rules, and things are flowing really well. It's just a matter of deciding what to choose to release now. Won't be long - hoping to have something ready to present in the next couple of months.
