long time no speak ... we've been busy recording demos for our second album, which now looks like it'll be out sometime 2007 ... argh!

in the meantime, we'll finally be giving street light solace a proper launch ...

thurs 7th sept @ the rob roy w/ the spoils & the lonely spacemen

we're looking forward to treading the boards once again & we hope to see y'all down there as we showcase not only the ep but new songs from our forthcoming album

- 17:05:06 -

the recent release of street light solace has started making an impact - with a healthy amount of airplay, the odd review and a recent listing in pbs's tip sheet

- 16:03:06 -

we're currently taking a short rest from the stage to concentrate on writing & recording for the second album ... the search also starts for a new bass player to replace chris (off to sri lanka!) ... godspeed mr. riseley!!

~ ep mastered ~ ... we've finally mastered street light solace ... it's available either online or from the label website, or at shows

~ nick makes good in 90s! ~ ... according to a recent poll conducted by the nothing happening radio show in regional n.s.w, where listeners were asked to list the Greatest Australian bands of the '90s, nick was kindly voted in at no. 64 ... upon hearing this, nick launched into the '67 beatles classic 'when i'm 64' until he was violently beaten to a pulp by a fellow office worker midway through the second verse

~ site update ~ ... we've updated the site & finally put up mp3's from all releases - you can find these in the sounds section, and we've added more visuals (both videos and pics) which can be checked out in the visuals section, including footage from live, studio and promotional material .. hooray for everything!

we're currently catching our breath ... after our brief sojourn in adelaide we returned to play a receptive show at the empress last thursday ... a big thanks to all who braved it on that balmy school-night, and thanks also to all in adelaide who showed their support and bought our cds ... you helped us get home!

next weekend may be our last full band shows for a few weeks ... we’ll be farewelling our current lineup as the talented mr. risely will soon be leaving our shores for his new home in sri lanka! come down as we give him a send-off ‘rock n roll style’... it promises to be two nights of beautiful music, great people, flowing amber and general debauchery. what great lineups too! ...

friday 3rd feb @ the empress of india w/ jona byron & toni dee mellow

sat 4th feb @ the carlton music room (dan o'connell) w/ the spoils & tobias cummings
