coming this Friday
I'm playing a gig in Wellington on Friday, at Photospace Gallery, 8pm. It would be absolutely wonderful if you could come along - it's only a gold coin entry. Rick Jensen's playing saxophone and the father/son comedy duo Rubber Banana are always good value.
Friday 13th seems appropriate given my chequered history there and love/hate relationship with the Wellington. I can't see myself living there again - Kapiti Coast maybe, but probably not in town. I slept badly last night due to a dream about a shorthand test and fear that noone's going to show up on Friday. Job for today is gig promo, because playing to an empty room really sucks.
I'm finishing off the After Maths & Sciences album - it's a good one. I've got a whole new palette of sounds to work with, and I found my way out of the introspective trap by means other than submerging into a group sound. The trick was, I shifted the focus from myself to my Australian surroundings. There are 'Melbourne in winter' and 'New South Wales in summer' halves, and there's development between them.
Anyway I'll get the album done this week and take it on the road. Hope to see you there...
