About Me

Hey there champions! Thanks for stopping by. There have been some pretty massive developments in my musical world of late. As some of you may already know, over the last few months, I have been collaborating with the very talented Kat Chishkovsky who has been playing violin and also helping out on the music production aspect of things (Kat and her other bands are in my top friends list so check out her page "miss Kat C" for dates for her stand up comedy and have a look at her other bands "The Hornswagglers", "Catgut Mary" and "Mirra String quartet" for info on upcoming gigs). Together we've recorded several tracks and finally decided on a name for our two piece acoustic outfit. We have now been dubbed... "STANDING UP HOLLYWOOD STYLE" and have created a myspace page specifically for the band (www.myspace.com/standinguphollywoodstyle). So if you feel the urge, drop by and have a squiz.

Cheers,
Jag

In case you haven't seen Backpackers, this video condenses our year long trip into 6 minutes and should give you a bit of an idea what its all about.

A lot of people have been asking if we are going to make a second season of Backpackers. We don't really know to be honest. We can't read the future. We're not some kind of psychic tv making guys. We're not superhuman you know... Anyways, While Backpackers2 may or may not ever happen we have been doing something with our time. The wonderful people at XYZ networks have kindly kept a roof over a formerly backpacking heads by hiring us to make the Aussie version of the global cult gameshow classic, "Cash Cab". Season one is on air at the moment so if you get a chance, check it out.
