Yup...Pretty much it

Last week was full of adventures, we had the opportunity of recording a song with the amazingly talented absolutely lovely Clare Bowditch. As we all stepped into the studio and Clare started smashing it out we all just stood there jaw dropped. It was a wonderful/hilarious night only made better by Lisa's talents with the slow cooker. We soldiered on all night and didn't end up leaving the studio until well into the early hours of the morning in Lisa's semi trusty Kombi, Murtle.

So thank you to Clare for the wonderful night and hopefully you guys will be hearing the song soon. xx

A few weeks ago we all have the chance to be in the same state again at the same time. So we made the most of it by bunking up at Robs once again and getting to work in the studio. Three jam packed days followed with plenty of hilarious times, delicious BBQs, scrumptious goon, Rob and Jan finding giant bottles of Grolsch and then discovering that chairs aren't as stable once you've finished it and of course getting lost in a forest of musical good times.

We also had the pleasure of playing at Ding Dong Lounge, thanks to Dirt Farmer for having us. The gig was the most fun we'd have in ages, thanks to everyone who made their way down to see us. The set was not super long but we added a new song to our repertoire which we are all really proud of, its a rework of an old song you all know and love, if you want to hear it you'll have to get down to our next show.

Busy Times

We've all been real busy playing instruments and eating cheese, but we'll have more stuff up soon.

On the very long road to Woodford

The road to splendor was a long one but full of adventure. A late night reunion with Lisa, Stu, Aleesha and Rob who had finally made it back from London, was followed by a few hours sleep and an early morning check in led by Tour Manager Todd and his magical cowboy hat. Once we arrived in Brisbane we met up with Lanie and Jessie and made our way to a rehearsal space where we had a few hours to practice for the first time together since recording.

After practice we went on a mission to find gumboots which were apparently completely sold out in QLD. A few hours in a shopping centre and rob ended up with these!

So with a few pairs of gum boots and Rob very happy with his new fold out brush/mirror, we marched back to the van to find a jet lagged Stu asleep against the tyre.

We had been warned that it would be busy going into Woodford that night but we were not prepared for the gridlock that followed. What should have been a one hour drive turned into over four hours going at snails pace. But instead of sitting cramped up and complaining we made the most of it by having some sing alongs on the side of the side of the road.

Here are a few snaps from along the way.

After recording a few demos then all separating for a month, Lisa decided the perfect place to have our first gig would be Splendor In The Grass! Seeing as Lisa was already playing there we decided to hijack half her set and do some of our new songs. With only a few days to go before traveling up to Brisbane and with half the band stuck in London there was nothing much to do except make some amazing stage decorations. So after a trip to spotlight and Jessie's magical flour glue, we got to work...
