Songwriter, singer, musician, artist - Steve Kilbey has etched a unique and rarified niche for himself. Above all else he is credible - lending a genuine artistry to all of his endeavours.
His recording career stretches back twenty three years - he has toured the world, had hit singles and lived the rock'n'roll dream. Yet all this he does in his own inimitable style, never bending to what the perceived mainstream public may want - he maintains his unique vision and more importantly - his integrity.
Karmic Hit is lucky enough to have access to much of his solo work - with more to be re-released from his amazing back catalogue as we can get to them. However, it is his new work which truly excites us. His voice and lyrics have never been better and, as always, he is never afraid to go out on a limb to pick a new and exotic musical fruit.
The great thing is, if you have just come to him now - you have so much incredible music to discover!
This is Steve Kilbey's official myspace site so you can send messages to him via the Inbox messaging facility or leave a comment which will be read by the man himself.
Much of Steve's artwork is available for purchase at www.stevekilbeyart.com where you can preview and purchase some amazing originals and prints!

Art Groupie is on again this year in Sydney town. Below is info for those that may be interested in participating or know someone that might.
The concept behind Art Groupie is musicians who crossover into visual art. We do this project for fun and take no profit, but give back to the artists involved.
We ask that at least 5 images (no less than two) be emailed to us for selection. Email to dadada [at] groovescooter.com
Submissions close on Monday June 30.
Each artist is required (after selection) to supply us with their art work for hanging. Art groupie take No fee or commission, however the gallery does - usually around 25%. Artist are responsible for costs of postage of their pieces to and from the show. We ask each artist to name the price that they want for their piece and they get all money back (bar gallery commission). We also ask artists to try and keep the price of work to a reasonable amount so that it is accessible for people to purchase. The last time we capped it at $500, but are looking at a cap of no more than $1000 this time around.
When the decision is made on the art we will then move onto the music component. Each person is asked to contribute a track (free of licensing/publishing fees - these CDs are giveaways and not for sale). The reason we do the discs is so that people can see the art you produce and hear the music you make. We understand that some artist might be tied to a contract, so ask that they supply us with a track that is free of any legal obligations to their label or publishers. The CD is a momento (and only limited numbers will be available) it will be under the dadAdA imprint on Groovescooter Records. Each artist that is in the show receives a free copy of course!
If you are keen then please feel free to email some images through. Here are some images from the last exhibition Art Groupie @ Myspace

You know, I've been saving the dvd for a twelve-hour plane ride, but seriously...I'm about to crack. Delayed gratification only goes so far. Can I make it for 16 more days??
