The Old Days

Our mate Lachy played some fantastic Fender Rhodes piano and trumpet on our upcoming EP, and he also happens to be one of our two valued blog followers. The other day he was digging around his old video collection and found this gem.

Back in Year 10 we were forced to do Community Care, much like young German kids many years ago who were forced to join the Hitler Youth. Anyhow it actually turned out to be pretty enjoyable as we were assigned to a ratty nursing home and were given carte blanche to take a keyboard along and entertain the residents by pressing the demo button. 

In our eight or so visits to various nursing homes, no one ever caught on to our little scam, and although it was designed purely to con the elderly residents, even the staff believed I was the finest exponent of the ivory (plastic) keys since Chick Corea. Who was I to shatter the beliefs of these spellbound people as they burst into rapturous applause at the end of each number? 

A demo version of My Heart Will Go On by the inimitable Celine Dion is also apparently on tape somewhere, however until that is uncovered you'll have to settle for this.

EP Launch

Our EP launch has been locked in for Friday the 12th of August at Jive. Support acts will be announced over the next month or so. We'll be polishing off the mastering process in June and we'll then have the masters sent to Perth to have the CDs printed!

What does this mean for you? It means you need to shelve any birthday parties, weddings, funerals etc and steam it up on the Jive dancefloor come August.

Here are my favourite ways to sign off a letter, in order:

1. Firm regards
2. The warmest wishes
3. Moist regards
4. In Jesus' name
5. Peace be upon thee
6. Get fucked
7. Your's moistly
8. Heavens to Betsy
9. Never speak to me again
10. Jeers


Also, here's a preview of another EP track.



Fare thee well,

Ryan

Video?


In the last week or 2 we have been recording, playing with some great bands, seeing some great bands, and generally wasting time. Heres what we have been up to.
