And So this is Xmas...
Friday, 24 December 2010
For some reason I was struggling to find that magical Christmas spirit this year. I tried everything possible I went and saw the lights, put up the tree, shopped for presents for family and friends. Even put reindeer ears on my cat...but nothing worked. I was feeling like a total Grinch. But it's taken till Xmas Eve for me to feel...

Back in the Saddle
Saturday, 13 November 2010
Currently Listening To: Free Energy, The Roots, Biffy Clyro and my cat Square Tail as she devours her biscuits (Noisy Eater) Well well well, sorry for the blog silence. Smack on the bum for me, just been trying to settle back into life after spending 2 months on the road in the USA. Bit of an adjustment period happening as I...

7 Down 1 To Go
Wednesday, 13 October 2010
I’ve been trying to write this for about 2 weeks now. My first attempt was on the 2 hour boat trip coming back from Delaware to New Jersey aboard the CMLF (Yes the Sea MILF, well thats how my warped brain perceives things) Needless to say sea sickness is definitely not conducive to a good blogging atmosphere. In fact that was...

Jersey Boys
Friday, 24 September 2010
Greetings from Asbury Park! Yes we have made it to the East Coast, and just had our first show here last night at a cool pub called Connolly’s just off of Time Square. Thanks to all of our new fans, and everyone that grabbed a CD off of us. Nearly didn’t make it, at LAX we had the check in from...

The Las Vegas Tigress
Wednesday, 15 September 2010
This is the Tigress. She is my Nemesis. I gave up a LOT, trying to lure the gold from her confines. Roulette is my normal vice, 36 RED, but this time around I was hypnotized by the Tigress. When I could pull myself away from her, we had the greatest time gigging in Vegas. Friday night we played The Goldmine Tavern...

Arizona Heat Coma
Tuesday, 07 September 2010
I think I lost my mind a little driving out to AZ. Not sure if it was the heat (116 degrees F) but apparantly I kept talking to Cass about Virtual Reality Chickens. ‘Nuff said about that one methinks. Funniest sign on the trip was right outside the State Prison - PLEASE DO NOT PICK UP HITCH HIKERS. Ummmm nope ok....

Day 1 Tour Update
Wednesday, 25 August 2010
So I don't know if its JetLag or the triple shot Venti Cappucino I had from Starbucks just then, but I am wired. So good to be back in the USA. Loving Summers in LA - It's a 13 hour flight from Oz and the best thing was I got to watch "KICK ASS" and "IRON MAN 2" back to back....

Ladies Day
Sunday, 09 May 2010
Ok so I'm writing this after having a few drinks so forgive me If I ramble, but today for the first time I started to see beyond the normal "Mothers Day" routine of Flowers, Chocolates, Gift Vouchers to the local Health Spa etc…. but to view it as a chance to honour the beauty and wonder of the female spirit. Throughout...

RT's Switchfoot Experience
Tuesday, 04 May 2010
As I'm writing this I'm listening to Switchfoot's new album "Hello Hurricane" and just thinking about our experience in supporting them. When you're in a band you get to experience a lot of different personalities and musicians. You get a feel for them not only musically but how they are as people reflected in the manner that they treat fans,crew, their...

Sally Fields and Italian Meals
Tuesday, 05 May 2009
Oh Man we just got back from LA and we have had the most awesome time. We flew in bleary eyed a couple of Thursdays ago. No sleep on the flight over, too busy watching Family Guy re-runs and Scarlett Johansenn movies. Picked up our hire car - a Black Chrysler family wagon. Not the sexiest machine on wheels but u...

Super Grand Prix Weekend
Sunday, 26 April 2009
Playing gigs at 11am in the morning is an out of body experience for most Rock muso’s who are more than likely either waking up or coming home at that time on a Saturday. But this is balanced when you find out that there will be fast cars, extremely hot girls, free alcohol in the corporate box and oh did I...
