stringpunk, anyone?

Fourplay are touring at the moment, which is a reason for gladness all around the land.  I saw them last night and they were awesome.  (Pete Hollo: you are a rock god!)  There are lots of shows in the tour left, so check the gig guide and grab a ticket.  If you're in Perth, you'd better hurry.  They're playing there tonight!

Can't get to the gigs?  Check out their video page, which includes covers like "Sabotage" and "Killing in the Name of", or just buy the new album, Fourthcoming. Or both. :-)

If, on the other hand, you're looking for something in a more ambient vein, check out the new album by Deepspace, "Glittering Domain".  You can listen to it in its entirety over at last.fm.  (You might know Deepspace better as Kim Wilkins' husband Mirko, who has scored various Aurealis Awards down the years.)  The free album-length track "Another Empty Galaxy" was my favourite writing ambience for about six months.  There is no higher recommendation.

Fourthcoming: best bandname reference in an album title, ever! :D

Thanks :) I was very proud of the Fourthcoming title as soon as I hit on it!

You were there too?? I had to leave in the middle of "Killing in the Name of", alas. Did they play the Who theme after that?

Aw thanks Sean! Sad to not get to chat, although I did glimpse you out of the corner of my eye over in the corner there!
We didn't play Doctor Who I'm afraid. Doesn't happen that often any more... Maybe especially for you next time.

The sound is surprisingly good in that corner of the Gov. And it's very comfortable too. :-)

Some friends of mine who were also at the show were particularly keen to hear the Doctor Who theme. You might have heard them calling "Who? Who?" in the breaks. Maybe next time, yes!
