About Me


To purchase the new album FRAILTY send a $20AU cheque or money order to PO BOX 1611, Wollongong NSW 2500 Australia (*ALONG WITH YOUR RETURN ADDRESS*) and your CD will be posted to you with a free sticker.

"Stylistically this sits somewhere between the Cure, Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine (minus the feedback)" Rev. Cheesus Crust- Tertangala

“intriguingly offbeat pop…with an imaginative element” Paul Freeman- San Mateo Daily News, San Fransisco.

Imagine the sort of music you’d hear in your head after staying awake for three days straight, if you happened to have a gift for gently powered melodies, and you’ll be somewhere near the world of Dreamgirl and the Motorist…

Past Bands are: Mothdust (vox, guitar, miscellaneous instruments), The Useful Box (lead guitar, backing vox, accordion), The Serviettes (bass, backing vox), Circean(bass, chimes).
