22.04.2011 - Eric Bibb (Bluesfest)

Took a long time to get round to uploading this one, but its finally up.
The show is one whole MP3, rather than cut up into individual songs. I'm not a fan, I just recorded for someone else's enjoyment.

The recording is finally up. Sorry it took so long, massive internet drama.
I've re-cut it and now all the songs are in correct order. As I said before, its far from the best recording I've ever made. In fact it was made using an LS-10 in my lap, but I'm releasing it for fans and people who were there. Enjoy.

Thank God It's Monday

At Carlton Dry we understand that not everyone gets to party on the weekend. So we've created a series of FREE gigs and parties for the people that have their weekends on Mondays!

Pretty excited for this - an excellent idea for people like me who are stuck working their weekends to make sure yours is one to remember. On the door list to see Children Collide. Not a massive fan but I won't say no to a free gig.

17.05.2011 - Ben Folds UPDATE

I know I said ages ago I was going to upload this show, but I never got round to it.
After I cut up the whole show into individual tracks, I realised I missed one song. I pretty much couldn't be bothered to recut the show, so up until recently I forgot about it.

Having re-listened to the show, I'm not sure its worth uploading. As I've said before, I didn't bring my mics, so the show was recorded with my LS-10 sitting in my lap.

I've uploaded one song for people to listen to. If you think its worth uploading the whole show, let me know in the comments.

Big Scary - Microwave Pizza - Large Noises

Large Noises recently shot Big Scary performing Microwave Pizza. Absolutely one of my favourite new songs. Can't wait to see them at BIGSOUND.

BIGSOUND 2011

Really looking forward to BIGSOUND 2011. Last year was fantastic (despite missing the Jezebels). The second line up announcement came today, with 50 something bands!

Here are a couple of act's I'm keen to see!

Adaltia
Amaya Laucirica
Ball Park Music
Big Scary
Emma Louise
Gossling
Imaginary Cities
Inland Sea
Lanie Lane
Last Dinosaurs
Luluc
Owl Eyes
Papa Vs Pretty
Stonefield
The Getaway Plan
The Jungle Giants
The Medics
Tiny Ruins

You can check out all these artists and more here.

I've seen a fair few of these acts before, so I'm keen to see them again. Big Scary left a big impression on me at the Grates show recently. For just over $50, 2 nights of entertainment in a form similar to SWSX (running to and from venues, tents, bars and basements) - it's worth the money.

AUS Taping Scene Setback

Seeing this happen to a fellow taper annoys the shit out of me.

I honestly wish Australia was more accepting of tapers, like the US. When will companies see that these recordings/blogs promote their artists, not ruin their sales.
