'Washed Ashore' on iTunes + Sydney shows this week

Howdy folks.

'Washed Ashore' is now on iTunes and can be found by clicking here!!

Also, I have two Sydney shows this week...

This Thurs July 19 I play The Annandale alongside Sister Jane, Fanny Lumsden and The Dreamboats.  If you visit the Facebook event here and click 'Attending', then you'll be put on the guest list for $5 entry.

Then Sat July 21 I'm at The Standard in Surry Hills with Furnace & The Fundamentals, Bell Weather Dept and Thieves. Cheap pre-sale tix for this gig can be found here

I'll be on at 8pm sharp at both gigs.

Discarded album titles

I thought I'd share a bunch of titles that I considered for my album but ultimately decided against. Why do this? Well, sometimes you gotta purge! Also, it's currently 5am in my part of the world and a head cold is keeping me awake. I am beyond clogged up. It feels like the Kardashians have taken up residence in my sinuses. So here you go...
