The gigs with Lyndon were fun, cozy venues and a few beers.... no complaints. And we got to play a Tears for Fears classic... HA HA...

Withnail and I

I watched "Withnail & I" last night, I hadn't seen it since Napoli, I 'd almost forgotten how hysterical it is. It just goes to show that holidays are not always a good thing, unless you like fishing with a riffle. It certainly highlights all the 'pros' to alchoholism and insanity.

Next time I'm out at the pub (and in a hurry) I will certainly be using the line "We'll have to work fast, bartender, a couple of quadruple whiskies and another pair of pints". Certainly one of the finer new additions to my DVD collection. I wouldn't however recommend the "Withnail & I drinking game", namely drinking what Withnail drinks when he drinks it... Roughly 9 ½ glasses of red wine, half a pint of cider, 1 shot of lighter fluid, 2 ½ shots of gin, 6 glasses of sherry, 13 glasses of whisky and half a pint of ale. Since the whisky alone would be more than enough to necessitate a trip to hospital for most people, few, if any, keep pace for the entire film.

What a weekend

Wow, so Friday night I went and saw 'Laura' (Caz, my Cellist's other band) at their album launch, great gig. Saturday Fi & I and Dave & Alita drove to Ocean Grove to see Tom and his holiday home down on the beach. It was an arvo spent sitting on the beach with a beer kickin' the footy around. It was after 3am we crashed out after all the girls became addicted to Poker. Beginners luck I say!. Sunday arvo we all drove back and I played the first of 2 gigs with Lyndon, it was a really relaxed Sunday evening gig, I think we were all pretty pooped from too much running around on the beach... and perhaps the booze too.

Hope from Hope

Hey, check this out, Hope Sandoval is the singer from 'Mazzy Star', she has posted a review of our new single "Were you listening?" on the JJJ Unearthed competition. Coooool !

Rating: 5/5
“Finally a track that sounds like it should be unearthed. From the sparse intro from which this track begins-to the build of lush instrumentation as it kicks in; before one of the most gorgeous sounding female voices I have heard in a long time sets the lovely-yet quite melancholy tone of the track. ‘Were you listening’ really pulled at the heart strings as it builds to a final; quite understated but cinematic conclusion. Would be perfect on a movie soundtrack. Should be hearing more from these guys soon!”

I Love Katie

So Friday night I was lucky enough to finally see Katie Noonan after 6 years of trying. She is my favorite singer in the wooooorrrrlllldddd!!!!! and although she is almost 8 months pregaz, she still made it down to Melbourne for 2 shows. The show was stunning, just vocals, guitar and sax, down at Bennetts Lane . For those interested in listening to her, listen to "George" or "Elixir".

NO FLAVOR !!!!

ha ha ha... thanks Kay

Little Birdy

I think my blog is just becoming about me seeing bands...... i guess thats a good representation of my life at the moment though. We went to see Little Birdy last night, that Katy Steele is sex on legs !... They put on a fun show, not as good as the last time i saw them, but Dave and I had "dates" with us this time... cant complain !

Doom Metal's back !

Great show last night fellas, good to see Paramaecium back together again after 10 years. Enjoy the gigs in Norway, you lucky bastards !

Steve Irwin RIP - Crikey !!!

Well you cant say you didnt predict it, the poor bastard has gone and died, killed by a sting ray in the Great Barier reef. Silly bugger. He was 44.

Crazy Gig Weekends

thanks to all who came to the gig last weekend, there were a few fresh faces there, a fun night all round. Matt was over from Japan for his birthday, hence the blurry photo of the 4 of us, i guess we were a little blurry too. See you in January Matt.

Fakes @ the empress

This will probably be our last gig before the new EP "Little Deaths" is released. Gigs after that will probably be at the Tennis Centre or bigger venues as our following with be HHUUGGEE !!!
HA HA HA HA....

Ticket Addiction Symptoms

I just got tickets to Cirque Du Soleil (May 07) ... I was so excited at the same moment as the wind changed, and look what happened.... this is permanent, can someone help?

Review

I guess they liked us?. It's a bit fluffy, but I'm certainly not complaining.

Fakes at Ding Dong

the fakes are playing at the 'kashmir night' at ding dong next wednesday, hope to see you all there, for furthur details go to the "myspace" link on the right of this page.

Home from Fiji

I may be back in Oz but i think my mind is still in Fiji, this is taken from Malamala island (6 acres of uninhabited island near where they filmed 'Castaway') looking back at mainland Fiji. Beautiful snorkelling.

Going to Fiji.

Fi and I are off to Fiji tomorrow for a week. Gonna do a whole lotta sitting on my arse and drinking cocktails... god its a hard life.

Dave "Fabio" Cox

Fi says that sometimes she feels like she is dating Fabio, I think she might be referring to my (lack of) hair cut, but i like to think it something else... I can see the resemblance, can't you?
"the most beautiful man in the cosmos" !!!! HA HA HA

House Warming Photos

Hey all, thanks for coming along, we all had a fun night and i dont think anything was broken (there is a first for everything).

House Warming

Hey all, got the big housewarming this saturday night, should be a "hoot".... hope to see you all there, (i just realised i should blank out the address to save all the wierdos that actually read peoples blogs from showing up.. HA HA HA...) Sorry to all the folks in the states, i think this party might be a little too far for you to travel.
I also have a 6/6/6 party to attend in the girls appartment downstairs tomorrow night.... god knows what to expect... Ciao !
