1 year on....



So on the eve of ANZAC day comes the realization that this time last year the band and all associated were working feverishly to bring the Australian release of "Blackchords" to the Gershwin room at the Esplanade Hotel . Today a year later Nick is recording with our past producer Nick Batterham on a song for an upcoming feature film to be premiered in July at the Melbourne International Film Festival. I was sitting there the other night with the piano being recorded in the kitchen, echoing through the house.. feeling privileged to be a part of this experience.
We're all still working feverishly for this band.. and its story has revealed people and moments that burn brightly in our creative minds. It good to know a year after our debut release.. these people and moments are widening to across the world. It is one of the most rewarding things I've experienced, to create with a family of musicians and friends whose talents work together as the sum of an awesome whole.
It's also just 2 weeks to go until we pack our cases and pile onto a plane heading for our next U.K tour. This, none of us can wait for, cause we know it is another stepping stone along the long journey onwards and upwards for the band and another great experience for a life we want to live. We want to celebrate with you all, but knowing that we have limited time left and a pile of things to do so we thought we'd double up a gig on Wednesday May 5 at the workers club in Fitzroy, Victoria with some drinks and a catch up. So if you are free that night come down for one last show!
