We played at three different high schools in Perth over the last two days... and we were blown away. This has been our first trip to Perth and we now wonder why it has taken us so long to get here  . You guys are amazing -- the energy, the enthusiasm, the LOVE. We are looking at bringing the band back by request in October. God-willing it will happen. A big shout out to all the students at MLC, Carey and Ellenbrook CC. Thanks guys for all the emails, Myspace and Facebook comments. |

It was fantastic to have the opportunity to play in Geelong on the weekend. As a band we supported Aussie rock legend, Russell Morris. We couldn't have asked for a warmer wlecome from the crowd... many asking when we will next return. Hopefully soon! |

It all started when I was called up at 4pm by a venue a regularly play at in Melbourne's city. Given very few details and the fact that it was the middle of the busy Commonwealth Games, I turned up in my regular casual clothes and started setting up in the public bar. The manager soon approached me saying, "No, no! You're performing downstairs in the function room tonight." As I began to move my gear down he continued to fill me in, "You'll be performing at the 58th birthday of the prince of Tonga... no pressure, but there will be Commonwealth Games officials from all over the world and even people from the Sydney Olympic Committee". I found this most amusing but a little concerning in the fact that I was so under dressed for the event. Calling home, some smarter attire was soon on the way (thanks to the beautiful Jodi and her brother, Andrew). I should also add, the prince is a keen singer and in the middle of the night, refering to me as his friend, "Simeon", shared the microphone to entertain his guests. Of the four songs he chose to sing he finished acapella on the naughty tune...
(yes, I'm going to leave this blank so I don't cause a huge press controversy :) |

There are a stack of new songs I've been working lately, including some co-writes with people such as Jared Haschek from Compliments of Gus. I think the trip to Europe last year has openned some new creative ways of thinking and I've enjoyed listening to more 'stripped back' artists such as Audioslave. In pre-production a lot of the tunes are sounding quite ROCK. I think the next album is going to have more RAW energy. |
