'Goin' to the country' ... 'yes we're going to the country' ...

As those of you who check in on our antics would know, we're about to head out to the countryside to set up and record a batch of new songs very shortly. Some of the tunes have been knocking around behind scenes for a while but haven't quite been ready to serve, and others are already in the set now (such as Tall Timbers and Running Jody).

Only a few days until we head for the hills to go record the next project. 

To recap on the current plans (for them whats been following):

- We're going off to a porch in Cumnock to record some Roots stuff for 5 days and then play the new material at a gig at the Royal Hotel in Cumnock on Friday 2nd July.

- We're hoping to get some of the recording done in Surround format

- It's all new material, some of which we've been playing at our recent gigs

- I have been warned by at least 7 people that we will freeze our proverbials off, as it's winter.

- This was originally a summer project, but as my ability to dictate reality has been somewhat lacking, we're ready but a season or
two out. Oh well! Its not a plan, its more of a guideline.

- The G Man has tested the sound capture system and given it the official G Man OK.

- Michael at Shoehorse Sound  has vetted the post production plan for surround sound and it looks possible

- Menu Planning is underway. How rock is that huh? Googling 'Group menu' recipes? Our hard charging Roots credibility served on a bed of wilted spinach with a Cranberry Foam. Noooo!!!!!

- Then again 8 blokes X 5 days X 3 meals = 120 serves of Stagg (tm, r) Chili with Beans. ROFL (or R.O.F.F..I'll let you work out what the F stands for) Ye Gods!!

Be afraid. be very afraid.

More soon!


 Happy Birthday to Blues

Happy Birthday to Blues
Happy Birthday Sydney Blues Society-eeeeeeeeeee
Happy birthday to Blues!

Yes I know I should be spruiking our gig at the Pendle Inn tonight, but the Bondi Cigars will be leading the charge at the SBS birthday bash tonight and it deserves a plug.

Its on at the Harp Hotel in Tempe and it will be a great night. Wish we could be there too.

With Nuevo Retro released into the wild (Fly, be free!) it's time to do it again. In between Whiskey Talking and Nuevo Retro, we embarked on our experimental side project 'Spacejunk' and now it's time for the next segue down a strange avenue, as we get ready to go record Mountain Music in the Country!

Yes folks, we're getting back to our Roots and Tubers as 


The G Man is on the Dials, Dion's on Camera and Carl's In Charge as we spend a week recording followed by a gig to try out all the new material. There'll be danger! Thrills! Spills! Wombat Attacks! Snoring! Will we succeed? Will it all end in broken strings? No matter what the outcome, we're most likely to write about it here!

Stay tuned!
