My next show is at Mojo's Fremantle 8th January 2008 @ 8.10pm
It's Mojo's Tuesday Band Night so there will be 5 bands playing over the course of the night with your truly playing first. I have a 30 minute set which will start at 8.10pm so if you're running late you'll miss my spot but still come along and show your support as you never know what you might miss.
I'll be selling copies of my CD at the show for $10 each.
I like your music, sounds great! I like STARS and MAGICIAN the best so far. Some nice guitar work near the end of Stars too :-)
Obviously we have a lot of similar influences, it's interesting to hear how our own personalities help us interpret those influences and pull them in our own directions.
