My Dad's in a band!!



That's right, you read that title correctly... My dad is in a band! A reggae fusion band called "Addison Road" who have just released their first debut EP. Featured in Drum Media last week, the much anticipated release at the Landsdowne hotel with Freida's Boss went off last Saturday night.


To check out their groove, go to http://www.myspace.com/addisonroadsydney ! Or if you'd like to buy an EP for an amazing $10, email addisonroadsydney@gmail.com . 


Kudos goes to anyone who can guess who my Dad is! :)

Bargain CD Discovery- Fiction Family!

I've always been partial to Jon Foreman and his musical talents (discovered him through the band Switchfoot!), and I'm excited to announce I found one of his creations in the bargain bin for $4.95! It's a band called Fiction Family, where he has teamed up with Sean Watkins and it oozes this beautiful earthy creativity... with appearances from the harmonica, the accordion and thought provoking lyrics.

My favourite on my first listening was this song, "War in my Blood". Enjoy :)

Teenage heart -throb gone musician

It's always such a great feeling when you discover that a teenage obsession has actually become a great musician. This moment does not come often, so I'd like to take this opportunity to savour this moment.

Matt Corby! Yes, he was the teenage heart-throb of Australian Idol and nearly made it on my wall, next to Ewan. And that is saying something... Not many people come close to that honour. With that behind me, he has emerged as a grounded musician-fresh from the UK with an debut album. And of course, supporting Mumford & Sons at the end of June is a great start! I am really regretting not purchasing those tickets now.. He's looking better than ever, and his music is sounding pretty good too...

Also on the music scene, the band Oh Ye Denver Birds have come to my attention! Check out their song "Walls", it reminds me of Grizzly Bear.. but not.

All these music revelations are thanks to the bus this morning being stuck in traffic, due to the drizzly Sydney weather, and tuning into fbi radio. :)

Damien Rice - Cold Water



Rediscovered this song this morning on itunes.. I remember the first time I heard it, I was sitting on a bus, listening to Damien Rice's album. I can't quite capture what it is, but I love this song... it's hauntingly beautiful.
