Howdy Folks. Well, we have had a relaxing couple of non gigging weekends, but as the end of the year approaches, things start to ramp up again, starting the weekend of the 25th November with three gigs back to back - Friday in Kurnell, Saturday at the Bald Rock and Sunday as the houseband for the Sydney Blues Society at the Botany View hotel.

Thereafter, I think we have something on every weekend until the end of the year, and if you peruse the gig guide, you'll observe that we're starting to to get bookings into 2012, with our first appearance at the Exchange Hotel in Newcastle on the 15th of January.

Somewhere in between all of this stuff we still have to finish the songs for the next recording, complete the preproduction process, make a few decisions on exactly how the heck to record the next stuff, do some photos and so on and so forth, so despite 2011 winding down, its looks like we're just getting started on a busy period.

Oh I forgot to mention, we took a break from writing songs for the next album, to start work on songs for the experimental side project thats due after the album - I mean why not, thats how we came up with Spacejunk. Yes, with SC5 (the fifth CD, yes it does have a title, no I'm not telling you what it is yet) we're also working on SC6 (yes it also has a working title, but it contains rude words so I cant post it here, as I know some of you read this at work). 

SC5 is due to be a full 12 track album, SC6 is due to be another experiment (look how much trouble we got into over Carl's Chair!) but, like Carl's Chair, we have no idea how many songs will wind up on it.

We still hoping to start recording SC5 shortly, and that means road testing the songs, which means bringing them into the set and seeing how they fly. Only one of the songs for SC6 is in the set so far, but  expect to see a raft of new stuff start intruding on the set over the next month.
