Breaking news from Derrinallum, a small rural service town of about 300 people located on the Hamilton Highway 176 km west of Melbourne at the foot of Mount Elephant - an old volcanic cone which towers above the adjacent plain.
Howdy Y'all,
Just back from down the Western District doin' some audio for Pa Coates and the Unwanted Men in Black and a Lady. Unreal. Possibly the sexiest lead vocalist ever to sing the Monster Mash! Check out the gig listing below...it says it all! There's also an audio podcast of some of their finest pickin' for ya, so enjoy! Cheers, Yardup read more »

Being a long-time fan of these guys, what can I say in only a few words. Some of the finest songwriting and arrangements I've heard, presented with sensational polish and flair that you will rarely see.
Probably the finest songs I've heard since David Francey was in the country last year. A truly phenomenal experience.
Check them out online at Dead Reckoners or see their tour blog at Casual Ken.
Cheers, Yardup

Howdy Y'all,
Well, that lazy, laid-back Queensland state of mind is starting to sink in! It's only been five days and already I'm a shadow of my former enthusiasm! From the outset I've been totally frustrated at the pace of everything up here (first gear all the way), but five days in and I'm starting to get into the groove! Don't do anything that's not totally necessary, leave everything thing as long as possible, put in the least amount of effort on any given task! read more »
