The 2nd song
Today's the last Sunday of the month, which means track #2 in my 'song-a-month-for-2011' project is here. It's called 'Renegades (A Song About Monsters)'.
Those already on my mailing list should have it in their inbox now. If you're not yet on the list, stick your email address in over there to get it for free, plus a new song every month for the rest of the year.
I'll post some thoughts on the making of this track soon, but right now I'm exhausted. It's 11pm and I spent a large chunk of the wkend getting the thing finished.
Good night.

My brain feels like a squishy sea creature...
Word up peeps. Thanks to all who've downloaded 'Stealing Shadows' so far - was actually really chuffed with the response. It's still over there on the left of this page if you haven't yet, but I'll be replacing it with another song on Sunday week, so get crack 'a lackin'.
And if you wanna give me some feedback on the track, click here and drop a review. Perhaps you felt like you could have mixed it better yourself, or maybe the sampled insects made you go a bit postal...
So anyhoo, I've been running all over the place as of late and wanted to share some shtuff.
Went to Laneway the other day and saw a bunch of great bands. My personal faves were Local Natives, Warpaint, Foals, me mate Gotye and Sydney's Wim, who I've been following for a while. It is crazy that Wim were able to deliver one of the day's very best sets on a bill containing internationally renowned acts and in spite of their midday time slot. Check them out here.
Speaking of other bands, some of you may not know that I moonlight as drummer in a band called Cogel. Cogel has just finished our first video and I think it's bloody brilliant. I can say this comfortably cos I had absolutely nothing to do with its creation. That honour goes to Chocolate Fish Productions and Cogel's lead singer Nic. I urge you to check it out here.
Cogel is also offering a free download (it's the cool thing to do these days) of our new track 'Roundabout' via our website - click on the bottom right hand corner.
What else can I bombard you with while I'm rambling on here? Well, there is one other thing. That show I did at Cafe Lounge last week is streaming on the net here.
Obviously you don't get the whole vibe (eg. you can't see the enormous 'Whole Lotta Rosie' prop that I stole from AC/DC, nor do you get to see the fully grown manatee having a drink at the bar), but it might give you some idea as to what the gig was like.
Enough nonsense from me.
Adios.

A New Song Every Month
As mentioned previously, this year I'll be releasing a new song for free download on the last Sunday of every month.
If you join my mailing list by plugging your email address in over there on the left, you'll receive a link to this month's tune 'Stealing Shadows', plus 11 other songs over the course of the year.
I recorded and mixed 'Stealing Shadows' with some help from my friend Nic Cogels between the hours of around midnight and 3:30am during one uber-productive home studio session recently. I think we became a bit delirious/insane towards the end of it... Enjoy.
Also, my first show for the year will be at Cafe Lounge - 277 Goulburn St Darlinghurst, at 7:30 on Tuesday 8 Feb. Free entry. Maxine Kauter Band also playing.

Some nice words
Prolific music blogger Andy McLean has got me at #15 on his list of fave 2010 tracks. Sure, he's a friend of mine (and probably biased as such), but even still, it's an honour to be included on such a well-compiled list.
Check it out HERE.

A Fairly Ambitious New Year's Resolution
Happy 2011. Going to be a busy one for me.
I've decided to attempt to release a new song for free download on the last Sunday of every month. The first one's already finished, and I'll be putting it up online Sun 30th Jan.
Wish me luck!
