Thursday night, I'll be playing with my new band LIMNAL at the Old Bar, 74-76 Johnston St, Fitzroy, kicks off at 7.30. It's best described as a cross between Death in June and Jeff Buckley. I'll be capping off the night by accompanying Brian Henry Hooper of the Beasts of Bourbon on the ol' pianee. Hope you can make it down!

Recently, I interviewed the comedian Steve Hughes. It was good to catch up over the phone and after the show for the first time in four years, since we played in Rev Kriss Hades' band together.

First off, a big thank you to any of you who spread the word about the concert in Adelaide. It was a brilliant night where people from the Broadview Church, Adelaide heavy metal and Melbourne noise communities came together to hear myself and Corey Davis perform. I genuinely appreciated Broadview taking a chance with us and understanding what we were about, which is a very modern and pretty energetic take on classical music. The setting was perfect for our performance and the acoustics of the hall and quality of the piano were top notch. Good times!

Over the next three days, I will be hitting the studio again with Brian Hooper and Mick Harvey (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Birthday Party), who I both worked with on a soundtrack last year. Joining us this time will be JP Shilo. When recording is done, Brian and myself will hit Some Velvet Morning and deliver some new material, old songs and be giving all attendees a free download of the new music. Hope to see you there! I will be opening the gig with a little bit of classical.

Interview with ABC’s 7.30 Report

In this episode of the 7.30 Report, I speak about busking on the streets of Melbourne. Thanks to Rachel Brown for doing a great job. You can hear and read what I have to say and marvel at my silly facial expressions and choice of heavy metal t-shirts here: http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2015/s4400722.htm
