………………………………………………………..

my parents have been visiting.. they leave tomorrow and it’s back to reality for me.

Well everyone I didn’t catch Santa last night… after 28 years of trying I must say he is SUPER elusive!

As it’s time to be giving out presents I thought I’d leave a little something on here for those that drop by regularly to check out what I am up too. It’s a selection of BLOGS that I really enjoy! These blogs share some of the most amazing music/sound/aural explorations ever made available on planet earth or the galaxy for that matter. Give them a chance and let it grow on you…. noise is silence.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas Everyone & Happy New Year!!

Where has the week gone? It’s been 7 days since I last posted here…

I’ve finished my solo album for French label BASKARU now I just have to sit tight and wait for its release. Ala, I’ve begun working straight away on a new album stemming from areas I’ve been meaning to explore further for sometime… this currently has no designated home as such but I’m determined to get it out there…

…..AxxOnn are back in the jam room and working on new tracks for a second release, sometime early 2009. This will coincide with a string of live shows destined for Brisbane stages and PA obliteration in January.

Should you be wondering where AxxOnn came up with it’s amazing EP title you need not look any further.

No we're NOT Jehova's...

…………………

A bunch of solo work coming up for me in 2009 including a major Perth (Perth International Arts Festival) visit in February along with Tasmanian and Melbourne gigs on my return to Brisbane, and that’s just the first 2 months of ’09.

more soon… stay tuned!!

If you haven’t already realised this week, I’ve debuted a new project with Ian Rogers (No Anchor). It’s not exactly a new collab as Ian and I have been working together since August, but it’s not been to recently that we both felt it was time to let it see light.

• We’ve kicked it off with a live performance (see pics in previouse post HERE).
• Web Site Launch www.AxxOnnband.com
• Facebook Fan Page
• Myspace
