About Me



..

Hurray, new songs finally up, they're not perfectly recorded but that's fine cause they're done and that's how I like em.
It's nice to have instrumental versions of my songs, it really feels good to be part of a band, sometimes playing alone can be cool too though, at my own pace and more piano.

First gig is coming up, oh how I wish I could hide behind a band right now. I can't say it will be a flawless set, in fact, I'm very sure I will make a few mistakes out of nerves . See ya there.

THE LITTLE EARTHQUAKES

SHAKESPEARE'S SONNET 121
'Tis better to be vile than vile esteem'd, When not to be receives reproach of being, And the just pleasure lost which is so deem'd Not by our feeling but by others' seeing: For why should others false adulterate eyes Give salutation to my sportive blood? Or on my frailties why are frailer spies, Which in their wills count bad what I think good? No, I am that I am, and they that level At my abuses reckon up their own: I may be straight, though they themselves be bevel; By their rank thoughts my deeds must not be shown; Unless this general evil they maintain, All men are bad, and in their badness reign.

General meaning:

under no circumstance will I tolerate hypocrisy. I will not defend the indefensible in myself but will admit the truth of my errors
The Artist will not submit to the judgment of those with false eyes nor let them make evil what he holds to be good

NINA ZSA ZSA on TRIPLE J UNEARTHED We were listed number 10 on the Triple J Unearthed Jukebox favorites through December till January 7th.

Sounds Like:

I think I'd rather be known as sounding new with a hue of the old times, a real sense of my life, because a life is grand when you think about it.

The new beginning

Hi, it's Nina here. We were spinning and we fell down laughing so much we fell asleep and dreamed. We heared music of course, but there were images too, so much light and the trees the sun, all of it ...
