First show is at Pure Pop Records in Barkly St St Kilda Sun Oct 2…I went here with Scott from the Collage nights at the Espy and it was a great vibe…record store out front specialising in Guitar Pop and out back a stage/coffee machine/Bar and Pizzas flown in from next door…Burn in Hell were playing and I said to my self I want to play here…I contacted Dave who runs the show…told him of the upcoming album and he was keen…soooo…Ive got Jon Schofield from Paul Kellys Coloured Girls and me old band mate from the Grooveyard whom Ive been hanging with and rehearsing and doing a bit of writing at his country retreat in Binalong near Yass/Canberra…also grabbed me old drumming mate from FTR Euro Electronic days ,Gye Bennetts, who played drums with Hitmen/Tablewaiters and really gives the tubs a thump and loves good electronic music…so thats the line up there

Next I got the Tues Collage night [Oct 4]at the Espy from Scott and put a bill together for him and have just scored Penny Ikinger Solo for the show which includes Jon Schofield in his first ever solo shows plus Nigel Wearne who is a new up and comiing alt country guy from Melbourne…louis and the Pride finish off the bill…THAT is an awesome night and bill

Just got back from my first solo trip to Melbourne and what a revelation…initially was supporting April Maze at the Esplanade Hotel in St Kilda on Scotts Collage nights but they pulled out and I did the gig with Joel Stibbard/Kelly Breuer/Ali Garter….at last a place where oiginals can be played…Mudgee i LOVE LIVING THERE BUT REALLY???? BTW Todd from April Maze took these live shots Scott and Todd Mayhew on the Espy verandah clowning around with our iphone cameras Also did a house Concert at my Uncle and Aunties place for their neighbours and my cousins…that was way cool….love playing in kitchens Hung out with Scott from the Collage nights and he introduced me to “Pure Pop Records”…a cool venue/record shop in St Kilda that has a liquor license and runs gigs…might be able to do album release party there in Sept/Oct Met up with Steve from Greville Records and reminisced on Lime Spiders days…Missing Link is now closed so Greville is the oldest record store in Melbourne now…might do an instore there as well All in all…a fantastic time….so great to be ON TOUR again…didnt realise how much I missed it….such an integral part of me that has been missing for too long….I will be back Melbourne and sooner than you think!!!
