AFTER THE FALL - COMMONWEALTH GAMES ADS ON TEN & ONE

2010-06-29T18:00:00.003+10:00

AFTER THE FALL - COMMONWEALTH GAMES ADS ON TEN & ONE !

Hello Loyal email subscribers and a big welcome to all the new cats who signed up over the past couple of weeks!

Welcome aboard!

First up a HUUUUGE thanks to Gyroscope, all their crew and management for having us on their album tour, it was a grand old time and awesome to share the road with them after way too long apart.
We had the best time, made all the more fun because there was a whole bunch of you there to see us play!
So if you were there early THANKS!!!! and i hope you dug it!
We drove way too many Kilometeres in way to short a time and partied a little too hard, i remember something involving a shitload off pickles, some trucker shorts and Limp Bizkit...recipie for fun if i ever heard it.

Special mention to Gyros' crew - Ritchie and Anthony you are top notch!

Some pics from the Metro show in Sydney....

As of now we are straight back into writing and honing the new tracks (you may have heard some new jams at Gyros)
Our aim is to tear heads of and loosen bowels so hopefully we achieve that...actually...that would be not cool.
But you get the drift, shit is rockken like dokken!
Beisdes all that we are going to try and get a track down ASAP for you to have for free.
Reffered to in the industry as a 'single' or 'free download...whatever you call it it will also be rad!

As i type this im watching 'outrageous fortune' and a commonwealth games ad just came on featuring our track "Desire" Which brings me to our next subject...

AFTER THE FALL - DESIRE - COMMONWEALTH GAMES ADS

DESIRE has been made the official song of the 2010 Commonwealth Games ads for the TEN Sport & ONE HD networks!

Pretty sweet! Im told there are 33 different ads! NUTZZZ! I like the Diving and Gymnastics one's the best, as they are my favourite olympic sports, table tennis is pretty sweet too...

this is what the main man at 10 had to say...

"Sport and Music can be a powerful combination and when you find a track that's just right, it's a beautiful thing. That's what we have with "Desire", it's a perfect fit for the Games - emotive, catchy and importantly from an Aussie band" Rob Rosenberg

The ads are currently on high rotation on both ONE and TEN being aired at least 5 times a day on each network. The ads will run all the way through till OCT 15 giving the After The Fall track DESIRE massive exposure during this time and quite possibly one of the biggest TV syncs this year.

Check out some of the ads below !

NOVA radio are well and truly excited about the ads so much so they have just featured it on all of their web sites around the country. Make sure you all hit the link to show some love over at NOVA... and in turn i'm sure there will be loads of "DESIRE" coming through your speakers if you know what i mean !!
Check out the link here: www.novafm.com.au

Thats all i got for now, stayed tuned for more show announcements soon!

Peace

Gyros Tour in Adelaide tonight!

AFTER THE FALL DIVE INTO THE MAP OF TASSIE THIS WEEK

2009-11-12T12:55:00.000+11:00

LAST WEEK WAS A BLUR + TASSIE THIS WEEK.

Wow what a blur and a blast the last 2 weeks of the 'Go Hunting' tour have been!

First up i Just want to give special thanks to all the fans who have came to the shows, said hi, hung out, bought us drinks, and bought some merch! We really appreciate your support! We have had an awesome time on the road the past few weeks and we just want to say thanks for making it fun! We know it has been a while but we appreciate your support! thanks!

We reconvened with Calling all cars and our new mates FANGS in Warnambool for what was going to be a wild week of shows and parties. Warnambool seemed like a cool place, so we ask the dude at our Hotel where the best fish n' chips in town was...he said 'Con's is the best' it appears we were conned as it was pretty average.

Had a kick arse rock show at the Loft and ended up having a party in our Hotel with Fangs wild night much fun!

Next stop Ballarat...

Fangs had decided to start the part early with a case of M.B and the rest of the night was slightly blurry...actually we got a new guitarist that night...Leeroy Brown from fangs was officially our second guitarist...but he only played one song...'Sunshine Showers' but he played it well!

Next stop was Mildura...

Very hot! Befriended a dude who told me he liked to get on Ice, then proceeded to steal our merch...fuck that guy! We got it back with minimal head busting so all is well...just goes to show...NEVER trust a junkie.

Big thanks to All at the Sandbar in Mildura for housing the venue for the biggset party on the tour so far! Had an absolute killer off a night! Double parked on pots with all manner of beverages, ripped clothes, Baked bean drinking, sleep eating (the cheesburger incident) Walking through drive through's singing dancing and a whole heap of bromance, awesome times.

On the drive we stopped of at a roadside stall and grabbbed a bag of Oranges for the 5 hour drive to Bendigo.
Bendigo's venue 'the Pub' in actual fact was not a pub? Things got a bit silly tonight, Matt made an outfit which resembled Scorpion from Mortal Kombat...i dont know why. I fed Mackie from Fangs Pizza onstage...i dont thing he liked it as soon after he put His bass through the Ceiling. Nice! Ventured into the 'Alternative nightclub' Housed in the same venue only to Bail as quick as possible...GROSS!

Monday we had some press to do...played a cover of 'Dock of the Bay' on a show called 'Dancing about Architecture' i think we nailed it! I also scored a sweet 'Nickelback' Beanie today.

The week Just past we headed to one of my favourite places to tour Western Australia! Day one consisted of hooking up with our mate Jaie in Freo and shoting cannons! (no shit), The foundry at Cannington has always been a shitty show for us but i think this time we managed to push through and make something of it. We were lucky enough to have another cool support band for this weeks run of shows "The Novacaines", Killer band and rad dudes!

Bunbury was really fun as always and Mitch the publican hooked us up big style! thanks Mitch!
We passed a place called 'Cockburn Central'. Not sure exactly what goes on there?
Perth show at the Hyde park Hotel was awesome fun! and what would a night out in Perth be without hitting the dance floor at amplifier to the wee hours? SHIT! Although after busting a little to hard to 'Echo and the bunnymen' i had to go home and have a shower...Gross!

Mandurah was a strange place...it looked as though everything was about 3 years old MAX! I didnt party tonight but i hear the cover band SHREDDED! and wasnt into extra dry as much as hoped.

Fremantle is always a cool great food, great vibe, great shows and tonight was no exception. Mojs is a rad venue ultra cool vibe! after dining at San Drino one of my favourite places to eat in the world! We hit up Mojos and had some fun!
Finished up the night watching Ac/Dc videos at Jaies Pad! Killer week!

WE'RE HITTING THE MAP OF TASSIE THIS WEEK !

VIC REGIONAL SHOWS + THE WEEK THAT WAS.

Hallo!

So good to be back out on the road!

This is what we have been collectively missing from our lives! Late night pizza stops, No sleep, over night drives, rocking, rolling, hanging, boozing! ah good for what ails ya!

So last week we hit up Geelong, did some radio promo stuff during the day - at the Geelong fair...i think i got the sniffles from it...was freezing! There was steam coming out of all the drains, very metal! The show at the Barwon Club whilst quiet was lot's of fun spent the mjority of the show on the dance floor which was different. Andy and Matt decided to kill time by making Mask's out of all our stickers - slipknot style haha! Check out our little video for all the hilarity.

Friday we spent running around with a Jameson hangover doing more acoustic promo stuff which Chapel st called Yellow Bird, man tasty food and a killer selection of beer. (lovells, little creatures, V.B(ha)) Then headed over to Revolver for the show. WOW! what a weird and wonderful place! strange hang thats for sure but a killer show none the less. Got to catch up with
stack of old mates which is always good...and whats a visit to Melbourne without a visit to the 24 hour bottleshop?!

Instead of hitting up one of Melbourne's many 'alternative' nightclubs we decided to sit at the hotel drink beers and watch 'Falling down', great movie that one.

Saturday we had a lazy morning before heading out to 'Fist to face' for an instore. And to my surprise there was an Esky loaded up with Doctor pepper! HELL YEAH!
After the instore we had to drive home to N.S.W which wasn't looking like fun until The wonderful Gerard from fist to face loaded us up with enough soft drink to make a dentist rub his hands together!

All in all a fun little trip... Check out the latest tour video

DESIRE IS THE SONG OF A SPORTING NATION, CH 10 and ONE use Desire for the Music to the MOTO GP TV AD

'Desire' has been lucky enough to be getting some spins on a few Tv commercials. Ben - as a moto gp fan- is SUPER siked that it is on Australian Moto GP promo featuring Casey Stoners big comeback.

After The Fall DESIRE use on Australia MOTO GP Promo

Also we were lucky enough to be on the Commonwealth Games promo which ran during the AFL grand final.
Over 3.5 million people viewed the promo during the final. Its funny how when you put a song to a dude yelling 'GOLD FOR AUSTRALIA' how powerful it can be...and i dont even do sport!

RANDOM BIT AND PEICES

Just got back from doing some acoustic tracks and an interview at MMM with ugly Phil, i will get some footage of that up soon! Was good fun and Phil was a genuine Dude!
Also we got some sweet new merch at these shows, new tee's and the like so bring some spare pennys if you would like to sport some killer attire!
That about all for now, Super keen to hit the road - make sure you stay tuned to one of our many social networking sites for Weekly video updates from the road!
if you have twitter follow us www.twitter.com/atfmusic it will blow your mind (may not actually blow you mind)
Peace
Mark

P.S - we have been told by a stack of you out there that there was a hell close up of one of our posters on Neighbours?
crazy...all i can say is bring back Sarah! and does Toadfish still have that killer Mullet?

COASTER FESTIVAL

Hi all!

Had a busy week last week, we were full flight into writing some new jams when we got the call we were at late addition to the Coaster Festival. So we cut the writing short and got a killer set together!

I was probably the 2nd hottest day EVER but we soldiered on and nailed our set. After we played we got to hang out and see the bronx play and Andrew tried to steal a couch...he didnt get far.

Check out the video!

AFTER THE FALL w/ CALLING ALL CARS " GO HUNTING TOUR "

We can say it starts in Newcastle on the 8/10/09 and finishes in Melbourne on the 5/12/09 to give you some idea of how big it's going to be !

DESIRE VIDEO!

After The Fall - Desire

You can also check out the making of the video as well as all the other After the Fall videos there too.

We would love you all to check it out and let us know what you think.

MELBOURNE SHOW WRAP UP!

Our Melbourne adventure started with a 4:30am Lobby call...by lobby i mean the cold street i live on.

Ben was twenty minutes late for the pickup which means i could have got about 19 minutes extra sleep! and at that hour...well its worth it!

Picked up the rest of the Fellas as well as J-fresh (also known as Josh from Angelas Dish) and Hit the Frog an toad for real.

We always see this sign on the Hume highway 'Best coffee on the Hume'. So this time instead of driving past we stopped in to see if in fact it was the 'Best'.

The unanimous decision was that it may very well have been the 'Best Coffee on the Hume', but was probably some of the worst coffee we have tasted.

Now thats out of our system we will never speak off it again.

Got to the show and had a 5 minute soundcheck(!) got some sweet Chinese from Mao's on Brunswick st with a Pizza chaser from Lamb and back to check out Kill Teen angst

These guys are from Perth so they already win, but i was pretty keen on checking them out after hearing some tunes on myspace. They have some pretty Rocking tunes with Beards to match, think Hot water music, small brown bike kinda vibe...the music! not the beards.

Played the show and caught up with heaps of friends we havn't seen for a long time which is always good! Then ended up at a Kebab shop at 4am. Seems we were the only ones privvy to the fact they served booze?

So to Melbourne...THANKS FOR COMING OUT!!!!!!! we really appreciate it and we will see you again for a bigger and better show SOOOOON!

More on the show front! We will be annoucning a MASSSSIVE national tour VERY soon..like within days! so stay tuned! very excited to be hitting te road for a hard slog!

RANDOMNESS...

I was going to put a clip off Killing Joke 'Love like blood' But they have a shitty record label who wont let me do it.

So you get this instead...killer track!

Peace MARK ATF

music is life

2009-06-16T22:52:00.002+10:00

Long time no blog...

My life used to revolve around seeing bands, if i wasn't playing a show i would be on the train to Sydney checking out a show. Then as time went on and the band got more active going to see a loud rock band was the last thing i wanted to do, but recently i have been getting back into the swing of things, have seen some great shows over the last little while.

Neil Young blew my mind in Sydney, I dont really go for the 'shredder' guitar hero guy, but Neil...i could listen to him play for days. I dig alot of his acoustic stuff but for me he's electric playing is just off the hook!

I was mesmerised! I would be in the zone just watching and listening and before i knew it, it was 20 minutes later. It was like meditation...but alot louder. He said all of two words the whole show, which was cool...he didnt have to say anything, it was all their in his playing.

Whilst we we were mixing the record in Melbourne I checked out Biffy Clyro. Saw these guys in a bar in Texas years ago and hey blew my mind! was such a cool experience, so expectations were high! the were killer once again...despite them coming half way round the world to paly to a room full of Scots they put on a killer show, tight and energetic.

Back when we first started getting shows in Sydney i think it's safe to say collectively Hot Water Music were a big influence on our band, particularly the album 'a flight and a crash'. I remember when we were recording our first E.P and playing to the engineer as an indication of what i wanted us to sound like...subsequently i think we fell rather short of that mark...anyways Chuck Ragan used to sing/still does sing in HWM and he was recently out here with Tom Gabel from against me doing Solo Acoustic shows. I think i had it in my mind that Tom was going to steal the night...how i was WRONG...CHUCK...fuck man...

I was so tired i didn't even really want to go to the show but i had tickets so off we trek longneck in hand. The prospect of a couple of dudes singing over acoustic guitars wasn't really getting my blood pumping but as soon as i got a posse Chuck HAD me! This was the real deal, He's voice was so powerful and intense. So much heart so much soul. Never would i have thought a dude and a guitar could be so captivating! Anyways Tom came on and he was good but man it must be hard going on after what came before.

Most recently i saw Bertie Blackman. I had Downloaded her single 'Heart' of itunes as it was free. Thing is i didn't even listen to it for about a month and then i heard it on the radio and im like 'I know this song...what is it...man its so good!' then it clciked! that's the song i downloaded a while back. Now 'Heart' is on CONSTANT roatation! When i heard about the show i got some tickets (lucky! as it sold out in advance) and went along I got there a little late due to some unforseen circumstances and i think Bertie may have been on the first or second song? My first though was 'nice sleeves' as in napoleon dynamite...she had a killer set on!

But the show was great, i really Dug the jams off her new album, lots of cool percussive and electronic elements, lots off cool grooves and energy.

And the venue is Rad too...cant wait to play it in July!

I guess the point off all this is one of the best ways to experience music is to just get out there and go to a show. Take a chance on something new. It invigorates and inspires! Music is LIFE.

as you were.

April news...the record is COMPLETO!!!!!!!!

2009-04-07T10:08:00.002+10:00

As of today our 3rd record is COMPLETO!!!!

Do you know what relief it is to say that?!!

First bit of news is that when our new album finally comes out it will be coming out via Roadrunner records. This is exciting news for us as it means...well it means our record will be coming out! but it also means that we are working with an label that is as excited about our music as we are. After working on this thing for so long by ourselves we are looking forward to the future with roadrunner and we cant wait to get this record out!.

Speaking of the record, we are aiming to get it out around July so not long now!

If you remember a while ago i mentioned the artwork is going to be a special little package! well we shot the 'us' element of the cover the other day with Angelo at the
Mathematics studio. I still stand by my previous claim in saying that its going to be awesome! (no pressure)

TWITTER IS THE NEW BLACK!

If you have a twitter account make sure you click here
and follow us.

Hopefully closer to the release date of the album we can let you in on some cool goings on and some exclusive offerings so FOLLOW twitter.com/atfmusic
Its actually rather addictive! i suggest following a dude called 'diplo' he is one amusing cat! Trent Reznor is surprisingly amusing too.

As for now we are just working on some b-sides and bonus tracks for all of you who are interested in them, there is a fairly varied bunch of track's so it should give you a little insight into the musical journey we have been on over the past few years

Ok thats it for now but hopefully really soon i can hit you with the record release dates and what's more...TOUR DATES!!!!

ATF !!!

THE FINISH LINE

2009-03-01T19:51:00.001+11:00

We made a film clip.

2008-12-07T23:59:00.002+11:00

Hello world.

Things have been flat out!

We were supposed to finishing of some recording this week but our producer is stranded in Thailand...

So we shot a film clip instead.

You guessed it! its for 'Break me' We did it with an old friend of the band Daniel Daly and a new friend Darcy Carter. It was a full DIY affair and so far she's lookin pretty good!

I wont go into too much detail...ill just let you watch it when its out...but it was the most fun out of all our videos to shoot for me becasue it was essentially a big party!

Here are some pictures for you too check out

We have to thank a bunch of people for helping us make the video! it was all a bit last minute and hectic and without them it would have not happend!

First up Dan and Darcy for making it happen!

Casey and Reenie for all the wacked out make up! It was frighteningly good ha ha ha

Macbeth footwear for the invaluable wheels!

Lovells Lager for making a fine drop for social lubrication! it went down a treat and made the party scenes really...party?!

P.s. I had a dream we booked a tour!

HUMID RAIN AND REMANICING.

2008-12-07T23:37:00.002+11:00

We did an Interview (well two infact) at MMM radio in Sydney town a week or so back.
We also played a broken down version of 'Break me' in which we squeezed Andy into an ipod.
He complained about the room but it was just easier that way.

It's funny when i got the email saying we were doing an interview with 'ugly phil' i had a little chuckle to myself...he probably doesn't even remember it happening but some of the dumb shit you do as a kid you forget about...this just sparked my memory of some dumb teenage fun...

About 10 years ago Phil used to host music show late at night on channel ten, this was the days of the fax and home phone...no mobiles or internet for us coast kids...i cant even remember what the show was like but im sure we hated it at the time...

So the show is on late on a saturday night and they would encourage people to call or fax (!) in...i remember several occasions of ringing up and trying to get through, i dont think we ever did...There was one time where you could see the faxes come out live on air. So we took this as our chance and we started to draw caricatures of phil and his co-host (jackie o?) with block's o cheese - we must of thought the show was cheesy ha! anyway we started to send them through and out they come live on air...i remember him picking one up and he was well confused about the cheese...man it made our night...hell even our week! Its funny the shit you do as a kid for amusement.

We also managed to squeeze in a little interview with 'Chit Chat' of whom was a stirling chap!
Its funny as we used to share an a&r representative way back when.
Anyways he does planet rock and an Australian music show on Sunday evenings.
Was good to talk with soemone who has 'been there' so to speak (he used to play in machine gun fellatio)

I know its an easy target but...

I love it how the new Nickleback album has 'ELEVEN CLASSICS' on it...i would have thought in order for something to be judged classic it would have to be around a little bit more than a couple of weeks?
Even then calling nickleback classic at any point in the game...i dont know about that.
Dude really need's to get over his Hetfield complex.

Id like to think that Jaymz is thinking 'EET FUK KROGER!' ha ha.

ITS FINALLY HAPPENED!

2008-11-06T23:15:00.002+11:00

Mixing the first taste off the album

2008-10-20T21:41:00.003+11:00

This is going to sound weird...but the weather in melbourne over this past week has been killer.
Sunny but not hot! cool but not cold...perfect!

Not to mention the food! and the company...and...well the coffee was pretty expensive...i think Sydney has the coffee thing going on a little better...i mean its super cheap and strong in my hood.

Maybe the problem is local knowledge?

Anyways why were we living it up in M-town you ask?

Well Ben and myself were working on overdubs and mixing the first taste of the our third record with the affable Richard Stolz.

We spent a couple off days down in Sing Sing south doing some vocal, guitar and keyboard overdubs.
It seems that everyone in the north side off Richmond to the south side of Prahran drives a luxury sports car...Ben was in his element!

Anyway it was good to go over some stuff we did out in the country and get it all to make some sense.

The room we were working in is actually where some of one of my favourite albums EVER was made...Crowded house 'woodface'...it might not resemble in the slightest what it did back then but it was still good to soak up that energy knowing your treading the same boards as your idols.

We had wednesday off as Richard was a little off colour, which worked out fine as we were staying in Albet Park with our live sound guy Adrian. I think i could get used to albert park...nice and flat so you can ride a bike with ease...and the number one tram goes straight into town.

So we basically spent the day eating the BIGEST omellete EVER! drinking coffee and checking out guitars at the guitar emporium.
After such a hard day we finished off jamming all night on the drums and Adrians loop pedal...RAD!

Albert park goes down to south melbourner "beach"...which its not a real beach at all...its like a big bay...anyways its blowing a bloody gale down there...and FREEZING as the wind is literally just off the iceberg (Antarctica), but that doesnt stop the fitness freaks trying to play beach volley ball in the wind...

Im not sure what this is called...

After a big night Jamming and Scabbing beer of Adrian we returned to Sing Sing Proper to Mix 'Break Me!'.

It was good to be back there again...we mixed our first record and 'cut your losses' there.
The owner Kai is a legend, he built the joint and its a cosy place to hang out!

So Richard went hard while we put in our two bob's worth and i think it's turned out a treat!
I cant wait to get 'break me' out there on the radio for everyone to hear...i think you are going to like it!
I wouldn't say its representative of the album as a whole but its a move in another direction for sure!

I had such a good time in Melbourne that by the time we'd dropped the Cd of at crystal mastering i didnt want to go home.
It was perfect beer weather and i just wanted to lap it up but all i could fit in was one sly pot off Guiness before i had to get the last flight home.
BUMMER!

P.s I just got the Mastered version back from Crystal today and its STONKING!!!! cant wait t show you!

Hi.

Im not sure which is more confronting.

Two men having sex in full view within shouting distance.

or Goth's with teddy bears.

i think the later...

well anyway thats how i spent my weekend.

The dudes across the way were once again going hammer and tongs with the blinds open and the lights on.
its becoming a regular occurance .
I just want to eat some burritos and...well its hard to digest food when faced with a hairy arse crack going up and down.

Also there was some kind of goth festival on over the weekend... now i can appreciate most subcultures..
but goths? mmm
Raver goths?
fully grown men with teddy bear goths?
GOTHS WITH CHILDREN!

somethings not right there...
Anyway it only lasted one day and i can only guess they have gone back to working in I.T and at the local warcraft shop.

In other news Ben and Myself will be heading to Melbourne to mix the first taste of the new jams.
This means that in the next week or two you will be able to hear on the radio and download on the interweb our new single!!!!

so how good is that!

im sure you will be bombarded with info on it very soon!

WHOOOO! WA! WEE!

2008-09-23T00:55:00.001+10:00

WOW!

We played our first 'real' shows in over 6 MONTHS over the weekend and man it was good to get out!

rooty hill was interesting...i think the kids don't dig on rock n roll so much out there...or maybe its just us? anyways thanks to those of you who spent your hard earned and put up with us playing new songs!

Yesterday we played the badlands festival and hell! it was Killer!

Was good to catch up with all our mates who we haven't seen in ages!

The response was well unexpected and amazing, thanks to everyone who has left us comments and sent us emails about our set, we really enjoyed it!

But now its back to the grind...we have to get this record finished so we can get back out and play some more...its fun i tell's ya!

So yeah basically just a massive thanks and hopefully we can do some more shows before the year is out!

In the meantime get some blood oranges and juice them before their extremely short season is over!

P.s. stay tuned for a sneak peek of the record next month!

M A K I N G A R E C O R D P A R T O N E

2008-09-17T23:54:00.008+10:00

WOW!!!...

I have been home for two days now and the reality of being home has hit...GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!

Now i have got that of my chest i will let you know what we have been up to.

a little over three weeks ago we packed up our song board with a MASSSSSIVE trailer load of musical instruments and recording equipment and headed for the hills

Rather then record in a regular recording studio, We decided for this first batch of recording to rent a lovely house in the 'gourmet' region of north east Victoria Deck it out with a stack of gear and go for it.

We had about two weeks of recording time, in that time we completed 4 songs and recorded about 6 others in various stages of completion. We will be finishing the others off and recording some more as soon as we can.

This is a photo of the main 'live room' looking from my 'vibe zone' towards where we set the drums up.
It is a rather large space and we were able to get some killers sounds out of it.

This photo is again from my 'vibe zone' looking over to Matt's area.
We would all play in this room together with our headphones on.
I put my guitar amp in the laundry...it meant we couldn't do our laundry while we were recording.

these next two pics are for the nerds...it is a selection of some of the gear we used.

This is our main man Richard Stolz, when he isn't in the kitchen making a mess he is producing our record, and doing top job at it! He's 'control room' also doubles as his sleeping quarters.

Matt and Ben checking out the progress.

secrets to the stars.

This is Richard with our engineer Matt Maddock. He likes to cook.

Ben sings in this converted wardrobe.

2005 Brown brothers shiraz...smooth, round and with a hint of blueberry.

You can NEVER have enough pedals to make noise with...ever

more amps.

sex

Can you see the monkeys?

I would have some more pics for you like when we enclosed Andrew in a tiny space (Lynard skynard stlye) to record his drums or when we found a big dead wombat but i accidently dleted all the pics from my camera and lost them so you will just have to imagine it!

So i hope you enjoyed that i will post some pics of our mid recording day trip and when i finish editing the movies we made i will get them up!

until then stay in touch and stay tuned for our new single in OCTOBER!!!

O U T!

Mark and the gang.

Hola!

Welcome to the internet, this is our August update for you!

First thanks to everyone who cam out to our 'secret' show in sydney a while back.
It was great to get out and play a set of new songs and from all reports you guys dug it?

It gave us the itch to do some more shows so click HERE for the details...we'd love to see you front and centre!

But before we do the shows we are heading back down to the ranch to get album three under way!!!

In a little under 2 weeks we will be heading into a house in the lovely victorian countryside for three weeks with our main men Ricardo Stolz and Matt Maddock to commence recording!

We are so pumped for it! it has been WAAAAAY to long between drinks dont you think?

We are going to do a series of little movies documenting the recording.
So if there is anything in particular you would like to see in there LET US KNOW!

We are aiming to get a new single out mid to late october for your listening pleasure and do a bit of touring before the year is out.

If you want to be the first to hear the news please sign up to our mailing liste below!

Do you like coffee? like the good stuff? not that Gloria Jeans rubbish!
well i suggest you head over to the Mayan coffee website and have a look around for some tasty non colonistic coffee.
My favourite is the 'organic' its smooth and creamy and tasty.

If you are in the area head in for a snack...the Huevos rancheros is killer.

Ok stay in touch and ill keep you posted.

Later!
