Vale, Millage Gilbert
We were due to tour with Millage in 2020. He cancelled at the last minute after his son became ill and he told me 'we'll do it next time'.
Ah bugger.
Healing vibes to Mr Wizard as well.Ye gods.
Meanwhile, we had our first person 'unfollow' us because I said something positive about masks and vaccines.
I'm boosted. The rest of us are boosted, and right now, with Sydney being the way it is, I'm wearing a mask. Our gigs are cancelled, venues are closed.
And now production on the backlog is slowed again as we enter 'Claytons Lockdown' as we are wisely realise that staying put, riding this out and waiting is the rational approach.
We can still get stuff done and we got setup to keep working remotely. It will slow us a little.
Stay safe out there.
2022 huh? We started in 2007. Yikes right? 15 years of mutation. And it continues.
Look forward to sharing the new stuff with ya when we get a chance. It's taken a while to clear the logjam.
Today we made further progress on the backlog of stuff from The Great Pause.
Everyone's getting booster shots, which is helpful cos we already had one member in the hospital for a day with this damned thing. Not to mention our good friend down south who lost her battle with it.
The mixing stuff has kept me plenty busy. These recordings are definitely shaped by the times, what we can and can't get done. That seems fitting. Each of the albums has been its own place and time.
It seems like it takes forever, and then it's done. Like life, I guess ;)
We're making headway with this lot at long last. DIY has some risks (oh boy) and some freedoms, so we're going nuts. What the heck. :)
Not surewhen we're gonna be out in public. Not sure when the next streaming session is. I can say I expect to have some new music out and if I am lucky, some video too. Stay well out there, visit when you feel. :)
Wow it's 2 years since we were int he US for the Blues Player of the Year comp.
Wow. Theo pointed out we've been busy.
- The downtime album
- Sweet Grace of Mercy
- 2 CRAB festivals
- 2.3 seasons of Downtime
- The material we're finishing now.
I am mixing the current batch and getting such a kick out of Upside of Down.
Also: Filters.
Fox and Hawkey both got COVID and are recovering, thanks heavens we pulled those shows.
So 2022 is the year of recovery ;)
Thanks for sticking around. A Happy and prosperous new year to you from all of us.
Our mate Hawkey got crook at a gig. He was double vaxxed.
We're all getting boosters. Looks like all the shows will be canned until then. What a time.
