Ah it was good to be back. 

Each time at Coogee, Mr Wizard wants to start with POWAH! POWAH!

....aaaaand we wind up starting with Every Where Feels Like Home.

Which can be a surprise for those listening when we switch over to the POWAH set.

Well not exactly the POWAH set but we wanted to try the new stuff, and that's electric.

I do try to provide warning to those assembled, there are two guitarists with amplifiers. It's not metal but there will be some sound.

Speaking of amps, Mr Wizards new Vito rig is wonderful. I'll ask him to post some details.

Last night we had a chance to road test 4...no...6 of the songs from the next project.

The next batch are another interesting yet understandable mutation. Brother Bill has a depth of complexity to his work and it shows in this lot.

This is the first time we've used Multi Track at the Demo stage, leading to more dubs, more layers.

There's still the abbreviated musical syntax Mr Wizard likes from modern Japanese music, Brother Bill has been able to absorb and distill it. More Paul than Paul.

The arrangement on 'I disappear' echoes stylistic choices we've made/continue to make, excepting that it's an even more refined version. Brother Bill is one scary dude.

Taken together, playing these new songs in a bracket shows the relationship in thought, something that is consistent across each of the things we do. As the thought changes, the music changes, or vice versa.

10 years in and continuing to take risks and mutate. Heh.

Mutato Potato!

Songs come and go from the setlist until turning the page remembers an old forgotten favourite.

It's still risky to do new stuff. wonderfully risky. I'm still iffy on the vocals, the words, the guys on arrangement.

Yet casting our ears back over the last 10 years they feels like songs from another century, and maybe that's the case.
