Get Somewhere
The early days of Gethsemane were nothing more than two guys jamming on the porch of a Sydney terrace. Since 2003 a shared passion to express life, love and spirituality through music has seen this 4-piece evolve into a band with a big sound and a powerful live performance. Their music provides an unrestricted view into the soul.
Powered by the rhythm section of drummer Luke Fowler and bassist Corey Sellwood, the sound is glued together by the layered guitar work of Matt Bourne and wrapped in the compelling vocal of singer Mat Beltran. The end result defies direct comparison, but is clearly built on solid songwriting.
Gethsemane’s infectious blend of rock, soul, blues and funk has seen them gather a devoted following around many of Sydney’s live music venues, including The Factory Theatre, The Metro, The Annandale Hotel and The Gaelic Club, as well as many other local venues. The band has also played a range of festivals including The Peats Ridge Festival, EasterFest and Black Stump, and embarked on several regional tours throughout Australia. Their songs have received air time on local Sydney radio stations FBI and Heart 103.2 and community stations in the USA.
In late 2007 Gethsemane teamed up with producer Syd Green (Matt Tonks, iota, Dirty Lucy, Lovebucket, The Vanguard) and engineer Chris Vallejo (Sneaky Sound System, Katie Noonan, Luke Steele, Bluebottle Kiss, Pnau and many more local Aussie artists) to produce their fourth release GET SOMEWHERE, out through Hellman Records in May 2008.
January 2008 saw the band head to the USA to play some shows and to gain insight into the music industry in America. This proved to be a fruitful time and Gethsemane hopes to make it back to the US sometime soon.

God hath not promised skies always blue, Flowers strewn pathways all our lives through. God hath not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow peace without pain.
Goth hath not promised we shall not know toil and temptation, trouble and woe, He hath not told uswe shall not bear many a burden, many a care.
God hath not promised smooth roads and wide, swift, easy travel, needing no guide, never a river, turbid and deep.
But God Hath promised strength for the day, and for the laborer, light for the day. Grace for the trials, help from above, unfailing sympathy undying love.
Salutations, I’m going through my friends’ list one prayer at a time, lifting your needs and that of your family before the throne of God. Here is a reminder from God’s Word:
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35
To me this seems an awesome ambition – to love others as Christ loves us. We cannot do it in our own power, but only as we allow the fountain of His love to bubble up in our hearts and flow out to those around us. May your fountain overflow more and more each day as you grow in the certainty of His love for you.
Many blessings from your friend, who is Dedicated to Christ (aka Tammy) http://dedicatedwriter.blogspot.com

"Psalms 118:4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. 6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? Proverbs 11:8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?"
To stand strong in this spiritual battle is our part. It is God's power that provides the victory when we stand strong. Our God fights for us.
