Fakes play Nemesis

We, the Fakes are crawling out from under our rock to play a small set at Nemesis next Friday night, the 20th.
We have been requested to play as the opener for the “Skeleton Rock” party.
We are on just after 10pm (when doors open) playing some of our newest (and quite different) material.
But don’t just come out to see us. Come down for a big night out as Nemesis is open till ‘past dawn’.
With cheap booze till 12 and Dj’s all night taking requests. So get your Divinyls and Billy Idol favorite lists together!

Hope to see you all there for a big fun night out.

16 Millimetre Photo Shoot

We had the 16 Millimetre photo shoot last night. It seemed to go pretty well.

Here is a tiny copy of one of the (unedited) photos. We scrub up alright I think.

Weekend in Wilson's Prom

Fi and I went down to Wilson's Prom for the weekend, we had good weather concidering the time of year. We went to 'Squeaky Beach' for a "squeak" and I got to see an old unpleasant memory for the first time in years.

I was silly enough to jump off this "rock" as a teenager fracturing my heel and causing ongoing grinding in both my ankles to this day.... it was 2 hours into school camp. Idiot.

Squeak.

Sun down. Obviously, coz I wasnt getting up in the morning !

Wombat. Suprizingly quick little buggers.

If i had $10,000

The new DW custom has just come out. $10,000.. ouch. but its SEXY !

16mm at Bar Open

Hey all, come down to Bar Open next Sunday night for a taste of the new Sixteen Millimetre album. See you there.

More Studio Time

Friday night Dave and I ended up down at the studio to see Black Guns recording their new record. We were talked into doing "gang backing vocals" and "claps". HA HA HA

Sunday I was down at the Hive, listening to some of the final takes for the new '16mm' album, a few touch ups here and there. But its sounds fantastic. Looking forward to it.

Working on the 3rd Fakes CD

Spent the evening laying down scratch tracks for drums for the new Fakes CD, finalising song structures and other bits. Coming together nicely. A much bigger sound than the last two cd's.

2nd Bout of Recording

Recorded 4 songs over the weekend for the upcoming 16mm album. I was fortunate enough to use the same 1964 Ludwig kit used to record the latest Eskimo Joe and Grinspoon albums. Sounded amazing.

Cirque du Soleil: Varekai

Fi and I went to Cirque du Soleil: Varekai last night as it was our birthday prezzie to each other.
FREAKS !!!! is all i have to say. what an amazing show.

"Kevin performed Chroma Key and OSI tracks live for the first time at a small club in Istanbul on March 23. The solo show was just under an hour and formed the basis of more elaborate live shows to come. It was unpromoted and tickets were limited to 100. All songs were accompanied by video material projected on two screens. Graveyard Mountain Home tracks were accompanied by the film that was included as a DVD with the Special Edition CD ("Age 13"). Theron Patterson created additional video material (for "Kicking" and "Get Back in the Car"). Thanks to everyone who attended."

Coming Home

Well i have had a wonderful time in Japan, Kyoto especially, but all of the country is amazing. My highlights were Sanjusangendo Temple, Miyajima Tori, The Tokyo Fish Markets and having a beer with old mates Matt and Patrick. My flight is tonight and i arrive in Melbourne on Thursday arvo and will then head to Adelaide with Fi on Friday for our 2 year anniversary.. wow... XX

Tsukiji Fish Market

Got up at 5am this morning to go to Tokyos daily fish market. my god you have never seen so much fish in all your life, squid the size of my leg, tuna the size of motorbikes being cut up with a band saw, octopus trying to attack me and all sorts of other wierd and wonderful creatures... poor buggers. do not ever leave tokyo without seeing this... unless youre vego... arguably one of the best things i have seen so far.

P.S. bumped into Jennifer Connoly today... i think her husband and body guard wouldnt have liked me proposing to her, so i let her go..... shed a tear for me please.....

Off to the baseball tomorrow... should be a laugh.

Harajuku

I went to Harajuku today to do some shopping and to check out the train station with its hoards of "alternative" youth. It was a laugh, some of the costumes were amazing though. I tried to do some shopping but nothing comes big enough for my clearly more than ample frame.... HA HA.... Wish Fi was here to see Harajuku with me... but she is at Matt and Takakos wedding today in Melbourne, i hope it was a good day for it. Anyway. I fly home on wednesday so that gives me a few days of mischief left, which will hopefully include Kabuki, baseball, more cherry blossoms and a bunch of beers with new mates.

Asimo

I went to the future science museum today, everyone this is Amiso, everyone say Hi.
Im off to Harajuku tomorrow... i guess i will find out why Gwen is no `holla back girl`....

Crazy Tokyo

Having a fun time in Tokyo, was out in Shibuya last night and am heading there again now. Temples?? what temples?? this place reminds me of New York, just without the Yanks !!!!!

Hiroshima, Himeji & Kyoto

Japan is great..... what can i say　.... still temple hopping, seen so mch amazing stuff. off to Tokyo tomorrow for a week. X

Kyoto & Osaka

Having a gret time in Kyoto & Osaka, it has rained some days but all in all it is brilliant, just waiting on the cherry blossoms to open here and i will be set. Unfortunately no USB on these computers so i have to use photos from the internet, but you get the idea. Sumo, final today, it was great, i have temple hopping and Geisha chasing. Im here til friday i think when i go to Tokyo, so if some more exciting stuff happens that i can tell you about without photos then i will, otherwise i will check in from Tokyo. Until then. Ciao. XX

Off to Kyoto

The Cherry blossoms have just started opening. Im off to Kyoto, will check in later.
