Myspace Secret Shows Australia's Interests

MySpace Secret Show Video by Audience Productions

With his signature metaphor-heavy lyrics, brilliant poetic lines and exquisite acoustic guitar sounds, the music of Josh Pyke is fuelled by familiarity and honesty. In a refreshing change of pace, MySpace Secret Shows was thrilled to present the talented solo artist for an inspired acoustic set that saw his legions of devoted fans queue for hours to be the first to hear songs from his soon-to-be released album Chimne'’s Afire.

Not to mention his comic genius (we had no idea he was that funny.)

Playing a combination of old and new material, his stunning delivery of The Lighthouse Song was received with love from the audience, an indication that the first single from the new album will be a great success.

Some of the most memorable parts of the show came between songs including Josh's comical references to his theft of Madonna (and subsequent attempts to sing Material Girl) as well as an honourable attempt at audience participation and a near brawl on stage (we're sworn to secrecy so you'll just have to check out the photos).

Crowd favourite Memories and Dust sparked a great singalong, but not more so than his huge hit Middle of the Hill, before which Pyke joked with the audience proclaiming "this is the last song... Well actually it's the third last song after the encore".

Pyke's knack for creating a pastiche of the personal and universal shone through his outstanding set, and if ever he tires of music, he can always try his hand at stand-up.

MySpace would like to thank Josh Pyke for his brilliant performance and wise cracks, Chris Maund and Talitha at Ivy League Records, the crew at Manchester Lane, Kate Griffin Photography, Audience Productions and Mathematics for the amazing posters and design work.

Hey, sorry missed out with giving you an update on the weekend...life is frantic. Well final exams in less than 3 weeks...my songs are getting record listens...at the moment a sound mixer mate of mine is post mixing them for me (is that mastering!!!?) So technically in just over three weeks I will be able to begin knocking new tracks out...
Until next week.
Take Care
