About Me


Gigs to look forward to in your area:
-Adelaide
-----------------------------------------------
This crazy french name of mine is pronounced "GIAM"
(Liam with a G, like "guitar")
I'm a French/Aussie performer with quirky songs about love (good,
bad, or weird), scary friends, filthy habits and the Aussie and outback culture.
And also sometimes some less funny stuff, just pretty...
But mainly silly really!
A more complete bio and more MP3s can be found on my website

This week's
special friend:

I met some members of LAMPLIGHT while hanging around a friend's house in Melbourne, they were practising vocal harmonies for another project, while I sat in the corner listening... There was only so much beer for all of us, so we shared and made it last longer... And now they've asked me to open for them at their Adelaide gig. Hurrah!

My Interests

Music:

My latest EP "SHAPE SHIFTER"
could easily be seen as a departure from my usual stuff...
I had a bunch of pretty songs hanging around
and felt they would be better off put together
instead of spread over several more comedy orientated releases.
There are still two comedy songs on the EP
(And boy! Are they silly!)
and the title track is a testimony to my love of pop music...

You see, I can never stick to just the one sound
when I perform live.
I like to try and keep the audience interested and surprised.
This EP is an illustration of this in a way.

Plus my sister Krystell told me she prefers my serious songs...
So there.

So let's start with a real silly song...

La Niña
Recorded by Swifty on his mobile phone
at a small gig in South Australia in June 2007...

-------------------

And here are two MP3s for your downloading pleasure...

Recorded live-to-air on Tuesday 14 August 2007
on ABC Hobart (Tasmania, Australia).

Dole Bludga - Live to air

Wanna Be Home - Live to air

The announcer is Joel Rheinberger
and the producer Peter Wels.
The sound guys were John and Justin.

-------------------

In October 2007, I promoted my CD launch
with a 30 second ditty, on my favourite local radio

The CD Launch Song

I had previously recorded a 40 second song for them,
to encourage people to subscribe to the station...

Woodford Folk Festival 07-08
Troubadour Stage Sunday 30th Dec 2007

Here's a low-res small portion of a live performance of 'Shape Shifter',
with Mal Webb doing some impromptu beatboxing.
Later he told me that as soon as I started the song, he thought "Hoo! 80s drums!"
and jumped on stage to add beats, like only he knows how... Fun!

This was quickly captured for posterity by Emma Luker (from The Fiddle Chicks)
on her mobile phone, from backstage...

Well, I suppose you had to be there... Hehe...

-------------------

More Live to air songs...

These were recorded on
The Three D Lounge with Dale
on Tuesday 9th October 2007.

Together Again - Live to air

CD Launch Song (extended) - Live to air
