Hi all,
Two weeks late this month with my free song, but I'm glad I took the extra time to tweak it.
Over on the left (or in yr inbox if you're already on the list), you'll find my cover of the Tom Waits tune 'Clap Hands', originally from his seminal 1985 album 'Rain Dogs'. This is the song (and album) that got me into Waits.
Hope you dig my version.

Some news
Hi all.
Recently I was fortunate enough to have my music featured on 'Projections', an excellent national photography competition.
My song 'Stealing Shadows' was paired with 'Mirror Mirror' - a stunning series of images from a brilliant young photographer named Emma Rose Sailah. Emma and I subsequently decided it would be a good idea to put this collaboration online.
You can check it out on Vimeo HERE, or on YouTube HERE.
Special thanks must go to Carla Orsatti for the opportunity.
In other news, I've got a show coming up at the Factory Floor in Marrickville on Jan 17, supporting Melbourne singer/songwriter Gabriel Lynch for his album launch. You can pre-purchase tix for only $10 HERE.
Meanwhile, I'm working intensely on the 11th song in my song-a-month project (which is already a week late!). Should be complete sometime over the next few days.
Thanks for listening/watching,
Ed

The 9th Song
Hey all.
Well this song is a good coupla weeks late but the great thing about self-imposed deadlines is that they're made to be broken!
This month I've done something a bit different. About 2 years ago, my brother Lloyd and I started messing around with some more electronic-based music. Now we're finally ready to share some of it. The name of the project is People Physics and the song we've just dropped is called 'Nostalgia'. I sang on it and played a few odds and ends, Lloyd composed and performed most of the music and there's a couple of guests on this particular track - thanks goes to Nick Langley for providing extra guitar and Mish Havlikova for providing backing vocals.
Plug your email address in over on the left to grab it, or check your inbox if you're already on the list!

Manic Monday
By golly, there's a lot going on!
Sydney peeps - I'm playing a record fair that FBi Radio are holding this Sun 25th Sep at the Petersham Bowling Club. Also performing are Matt Corby, Rainbow Chan and a bunch of other great acts. I'll be onstage at 3pm, it's only $5 and all ages (with a parent or guardian).
Additionally, just got word that my music is being showcased on 'Projections' this year, an excellent photography initiative which also features tunes from Oliver Tank, Dead Letter Chorus and Guerre to name a few. There are screenings being held around the country, and I was planning on heading along to the Sydney one at Paddington's Chauvel cinema on 28th Sep. More info here.
Last but certainly not least, I'm excited to announce that Cogel, the band I drum in, will be opening for Gotye at his sold out show in Melbourne's Forum Theatre on the night of Oct 2. Check out some of Cogel's music on facebook by clicking here.
Hope I can find time to finish my song for the month this month!
