Burt Bacharach meets Donavon at Ray Davies Beach house in Jamaica.
I've been writing songs and drawing pictures since i was a kid... i remember making up really corny songs when i was about 6 years old!
I did my first tour when i was 17 because my trumpet teacher didn't want to do it.... We toured South Australia...it was cool!....
I've been in heaps of bands, but i guess the best known one was the Bachelors from Prague or maybe The Black Sorrows.
I currently play with The Beachniks, Rebecca Barnard, Fogg, Los-Locos and Victoriana Gaye.
I worked for art-surf company MAMBO for most of the nineties.
I paint lots! In a style that has been described as 'Urban Primitive'... or 'Surf-Folk'.... I have exhibitions of paintings , I also do poster designs, t shirt designs , paint surfboards... and make little sculptures.
This is what i do for a living...I haven't had a 'normal' job since 1985. Yay!
I just put out my first solo recording...'Bellatrix' I describe it as a psychedelic folk funk experience!
Hello!!! It's been awhile - sorry there hasn't been in any Australian shows for many months but we've been busy in Europe with a bunch of touring and we're now recording our new album in Berlin (scheduled for release in March). But to make up for it, here's a big (and silly) Merry Christmas from us (and from some hippos too) :
Some bold new artistic direction? Nah, Just us being silly!!! We did this track for our label's "Black Snow - the completely different Xmas compilation". (and of course, visit our youtube channel for a high quality version)
Wishing you a very silly Silly Season and we'll see you back in Australia sometime in 2010!

Christine Ott oeuvre avec enthousiasme pour la mise en lumière des ondes Martenot, tant par ses interprétations du répertoire classique (Messiaen, Honegger, etc. ) que par ses collaborations régulières avec Yann Tiersen, Loïc Lantoine, Têtes Raides, Radiohead, Syd Matters... Entre tradition, modernité et expérimentation.
