Live Dates in SA, Qld and NSW - new album coming
We have some live shows coming up. Most dates are still launches for our album EVERYTHING WAS FUNNY which came out in October 2021. Not so long ago in rock years but an eternity in creative years - if you know what I mean.
We had a great night launching EVERYTHING WAS FUNNY into Sydney at the GREAT in Marrickville in June and then travelled to Warrnambool and another (private) show in Sydney as well. We also had time to finish our next album. We also played our 129th online Live Stream show. I also got together a complete book of lyrics 1980-2022 which I hope to start working on with an editor soon.
Portland Arts Centre, 4A Glenelg Street, Portland Victoria.
Just so you know we drive to most venues in our own van, with our own gear and set up and play.
We have an agent in New South Wales who finds us great places to perform within. Thats it. Also a digital distributor for our music to iTunes etc. Are we outsider artists? I would think we fit the bill. We manage ourselves. We record our own albums, playing everything on this one and manufacture them and release them through our own imprint. My second cousin took the cover photo for Everything Was Funny. We don't work with a publishing company and own our own copyrights. We rarely get played on Australian radio or television and even more rarely get reviewed or mentioned in what remains of any music media. We play more widely and more often than most artists of our vintage or of younger years. Just needed to say this. Also, we actually play music properly!
We don't belong to anybody.
We do have a few music peers and appreciate the support of people who somehow have found our music and continue to do so. Thanks you, comrades!
Our next album will hopefully come out this year. Its being mastered as I write this. Its a 12 track drums, bass, electric guitars and vocals album. A total rock set that is as strong as some of my favourite such as Urge Overkills SATURATION or Queens Of the Stone Ages ERA VULGARIS or the Replacements ALL SHOOK DOWN. I mean , it doesn't let up! Can't wait for people to hear it! Tell your mates in bands to give up!
