Anyway, I came to Melbourne from Perth to write a score for a film…The creators gave it the ‘arse’ tho so I waited privates in hand for my ‘band’ to arrive so we could start the ‘thing’ again in a new city.
A few songs on the radio and associated cool things soon decomposed into inspiration for other styles, ideas that I had worked on for years.
I’ve had some awesome experiences in this industry, met people, some fantastic and some that are not.
Many years fronting my ‘rock and roll’ band has warmed my voice…it sounds like a chainsaw when I yell etc.
I’ve played on heaps of albums as a guest and loved the experience…thanks.
I played the Piano, organs, guitar, drums, bass (not upright tho) sung and recorded all the fiddly weird noises on the new album. I can now kick protools arse…well!
My big roomy piano sounds and guitars are as real as the creaks and thumps of feet on the floorboards.
I record alone with the occasional double bass player, or attractive lady to apply harmony.
The debut single from the debut long player will be launched on March 27 at the Empress Hotel. North Fitzroy.
