New dates, 2nd SCLB single and video out today

Today, we at SCLindyBand HQ release the second single, "The Dying Conversation," from the forthcoming album “what's said and what's left unsaid”.

“The Dying Conversation” is as honest as it gets. Lyrics written by Lindy Morrison based on a blunt, matter of fact conversation between mother and daughter, partly confronting, partly comforting. Rob sings “much to recall, don’t you forget that I had a life of ridiculous fun ~ so dying won’t make them sad for too long”. Special guest Amanda Brown on violins and glistening pedal steel from ‘Evil’ Graham Lee. A Triffid and a couple of Go-Betweens ~ such a sweet, harmonious combination. 

More shows are being added to the SCLindyBand tour with Rob & Lindy heading to Brisbane in duo mode to play Sunday afternoon Nov 9 at Woolloongabba’s CAVE INN. Tickets 🎫 on sale.

Don’t forget our first stop of the tour is ADELAIDE with the FULL BAND for the first time, at one of our favourite haunts ~ The Wheatsheaf Hotel. A choice of two afternoon shows, either 2:30pm and 5:30pm.

Just waiting on arrival of the vinyl and we’ll be getting busy at the post office. Thanks to all who have pre-ordered the album ~ available on vinyl and CD 💿

See you somewhere,

DEBUT ALBUM for SCLB + Leonard Cohen

As you may know on June 15, 1983, I met Lindy Morrison for the first time ~ Chad’s Tree were supporting The Go-Betweens at The Red Parrot and then onto the Apollo Room / Inglewood Hotel.  Now, 42 years later we’ve co-written and are releasing an album together with our band of talented musician friends ~ SnarskiCircusLindyBand ~ featuring ‘Evil’ Graham Lee, Dan Kelly & Shane O’Mara.

“what’s said and what’s left unsaid” contains 5 new songs as well as 5 songs from our previously released mini-albums and is due for release on vinyl, CD and streaming services in late September. Tour dates from October onwards ~ Adelaide (afternoon & evening shows) and Melbourne already on sale.

We also have an array of guests singing and providing various instrumentation on the album including Amanda Brown [The Go-Betweens], Romy Vager [RVG], Jack Howard[Hunters & Collectors], Adam Hutterer [The Disappointments], Rebecca Barnard & Jodie Phillis.

First glimpse, is the single “You’re So Adorable” with guest lead vocals provided by French-Australian art pop indie enfant prodige Lili Alaska ~ out today.

The album is also available to pre-order from the Shop and Bandcamp from today.

Cover photo by Geoff Titley and design by Jarren Gallway.

Always a joy to work and play with SCLB. 

I’m looking forward to singing some Leonard Cohen songs in August with a crew of fine Sydney musicians. A bit anxious too I guess. We're performing in Bendigo, St Kilda and West Gippsland.

These things I remember ~ 

Singing Leonard songs to the little kids when I worked as a child care assistant in Moore Park way back when, feeling uncomfortable watching LC being interviewed by Mike Walsh on the midday show, seeing him perform at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on that tour in 1985,  I’m not sure why but the encore of “The Tennessee Waltz” stayed with me for a long, long time. Down the track I sang “Dance Me To The End Of Love” at Helen and Steve’s wedding, then supported LC with The Blackeyed Susans in 2009 and wrote a bit about that day in my book, …so it’s all coming full circle in a tangled up way.

More news to come next time.

SvS PERTH & MELB

The Snarski brothers prepare to return to where their musical lives first began. 

P E R T H ~ this weekend. 

Chad’s Tree played all manner of pubs and clubs, supporting John Cale, The Triffids, The Laughing Clowns, The Saints, The Go-Betweens & The Scientists before relocating to the Eastern States, signing to HOT records and then WATERFRONT. 

Only two weekends of shows left before Mark heads back to Spain 🇪🇸 with the final weekend of shows in Melbourne at their favourite cosy nook ~ Wesley Anne, Northcote. 

Thanks to all those who’ve come along and also purchased “Waiting For The Bell”. Warning ⚠️ ~ the vinyl copies are running low. 

Hopefully see you somewhere.

Be Quick SvS MELBOURNE this weekend … then onto SYDNEY

Thanks to all the good folk in Adelaide who attended the first show of the Snarski vs Snarski “Waiting For The Bell” Tour. Brilliant to be re-united with James Hurst who thumped the tubs and banged the drums as we revisited some earlier musical work in Chad’s Tree. In fact seeing the cymbal case provided numerous flashbacks and a barrage of memories. I needed several tall glasses of iced water to cope. Thanks James!! Oh and I want my bells back.

Adelaide also proved that we have young fans, big thanks to Bridget & Patrick. A nice surprise indeed.

Next stop, this weekend ~ Melbourne. Fri & Sat night at George Lane, St Kilda ~ joining us is the legendary Baron Of Brass Jack Howard [Hunters & Collectors/Epic Brass] ~ tickets available to both shows. 

Next Sat night at Django Bar in Sydney has ***sold out*** so there’s only Valentine’s night on Fri Feb 14 ~ hopping on board for the SvS roller coaster will be Sydney songstress Jessica Black [Jep & Dep] along with our old pal and fine guitar noodler Baz Turnbull [Love Me/Jackson Code]. 

WA later on this month in Perth at Lyric's Lane Feb 21/22 

... and final show Sat Mar 1 at Wesley Anne, Northcote [matinee & evening options].

See you somewhere,

SvS 2025 … coming very, very soon

The musical showdown that brings the Snarski brothers together for the epic Snarski vs Snarski “Waiting For The Bell” tour starts very very VERY soon. Tickets for Saturday nights are nearly exhausted as well as the matinee at Wesley Anne. Just so you know, and if you are keen, be real quick ... lickety split. 

There will be guests in each state to break up the Snarski brothers musical battle. Keep an eye open and an ear to the ground. News soon.

Tour dates and tickets

We’re having a break from tea towels. Although Mark was keen on thongs [footwear] as a summer merchandise idea, I wasn’t so keen on carrying boxes around the country. Tote bag anyone?

See you somewhere soon.

End of the Year, SvS soon

As the year comes to a close I just wanted to thank everyone who’s supported my music making along the way. Whether you’ve come to a show, bought a record, hosted a house concert, asked for a song gift, joined us on stage or put me up in your house ... or in a tent.

This year saw the release of the second SnarskiCircusLindyBand mini album ~ “I Know, I Know” as well as the first Snarski vs Snarski album ~ “Waiting For The Bell” [available on vinyl]. 

I’ve continued my song writing collaboration with Lindy Morrison which sees us in the studio again early next year, in fact just before I embark on the 2025 Snarski vs Snarski tour. I should make mention that all the Saturday SvS shows seem to be a popular choice and selling quicker than others, along with the matinee at Wesley Anne. Hop on board if you’re keen. First stop Wheatsheaf Hotel, Adelaide ~ info can be found at venue websites or via the Tour page. 

Not sure I ever shared my little video of “My Sweetheart Always Comes Back” from SnarskiCircusLindyBand I Know, I Know ~ here it is ~

I’ll share the only Christmas song I’ve ever written here too while I’m at it “Christmas Card from a Drunken Sailor” from Wounded Bird.

Merry, merry ... hope to see you somewhere.

Landspeed Records ~ Canberra
Rockinghorse Records ~ Brisbane
Streetlight Music ~ Adelaide
Captain Stomp ~ Ferntree Gully
Record Paradise ~ Melbourne
Sonic Sherpa ~ Brisbane
Prehistoric Sounds ~ Warrnambool

Here’s a few kind words from C.Swann:

It's the blood, the sweet & the tears that matters. Mark's Nina Simone to Rob's Billie Holiday; Mark's Iggy Pop to Rob's David Bowie and somewhere between the two, touches of Scott Walker. 

“Waiting For The Bell” is a minor masterpiece indeed...and yes the vinyl is superb. - Chris Swann [Music Warehouse]

I recently had a visit from Kym Cohen [Skipworth] who snapped the photograph used for the cover art ~ hard to believe it was taken some 40 years ago whilst she was shooting band pics for Chad’s Tree on and around the backstreets of West Leederville train station. Here she is hiding behind the LP. 

Hope you can make it to a SvS show.

 ps. Heading to Sydney for Christmas 🎄 House Concerts with Lindy Morrison [infamous Go-Betweens drummer 🥁] from Dec 13-15. We’re trying to round out our weekend of shows with a Sunday soiree on Dec 15. If anyone is interested in hosting an afternoon/evening gathering with Lindy & I, DEC 15 [only] please email quick. Last shows for the year.

SvS record has landed ~ BANDCAMP too

Finally. It’s taken a while but the vinyl has arrived. It looks and sounds swell. 

Snarski vs Snarski ~ “Waiting For The Bell”

Three format options ~ black 130gm vinyl on matte, gatefold CD and there’s also a digital download which is only available on BANDCAMP.

I’ve collaborated with my brother Mark [Jackson Code | Chad’s Tree | Nearly Brothers] ~ exchanged songs, revisited some Chad’s Tree tunes, played numerous guitars and together shadow puppets on theremin. Produced by Shane O’Mara at Yikesville. Artwork by Jarren Gallway. Photos by Kym Cohen & Ross Waterman.

Here’s where all the songs originate.

Tickets on sale for the 2025 tour here and a note from my brother Mark below.

Btw record stores should have copies next month, [apart from Rocksteady Records, Melb who nabbed some LPs and CDs yesterday], till then Bandcamp and the online shop.

Thanks for your patience.

Rob and I hadn’t been in a recording studio together since December 1988 when we were putting the finishing touches on Chad’s Tree’s last album Kerosene. We’re both different beasts from those days.

In my case I’ve always been more road map. I want to get from A to B and rarely enjoy detours. Hold on, who am I kidding? I love detours. Though I seek perfection, I am not a perfectionist. I know my voice is going to sound dandy.

In Rob’s case I sense that there’s something bubbling, that this could be better but I have no intention of hanging around a studio to find out as I have an aversion to cabin fever.

See one of my favourite dishes is pasta with garlic, chilli, parsley and parmesan.

It’s comforting, quick and tasty.

I can’t remember the last time Rob cooked for me but many moons ago at Morrissey Road, Erskineville, he prepared a plum and pear pie that even my mother couldn’t combat, ... he made his own pastry.

I bumped into an old friend in Madrid a few weeks ago and he asked me if I was still writing songs.

“Golf is not an option for me.” I replied.

Neither is it for Rob.

Pre-orders for SNARSKI vs SNARSKI release

A year ago I walked into a recording studio with my brother Mark for the first time since 1989 ... promising ourselves that it would be painless, stress-free and there’d be no arguing ~ we’d also written a new song to add to the mix. 

So the debut Snarski vs Snarski album will be available next month and I’m not so quietly freaking out [probably not supposed to say that]. 

“Waiting For The Bell” is the first release recorded under the moniker Snarski vs Snarski. 

It’s where Snarski sings Snarski, or to be more precise Mark sings Rob and Rob sings Mark’s songs ~ from Chad’s Tree to The Jackson Code, Snarski & Luscombe, Nearly Brothers, So-Called Friends and their collected solo works.

Waiting For The Bell will be available on vinyl and CD ~ pre-orders begin today. Please note we’re not streaming this release for now. 

Released October 17, 2024.

Lindy and I are in Acoustic House Concert mode in Sydney on the weekend of December 13-15. We have a spot available on Sunday Dec 15 afternoon or evening ~ if anyone is interested in hosting a house concert on that date please let us know. We provide a small PA, suits 40-50 people indoors or out ~ hilarious banter guaranteed. 

Also, if there’s any interest in Adelaide ~ we’re considering a trip across before the end of the year.

Mojo, Heatherton and Kinky

Someone at Mojo UK 🇬🇧 must like us as we sit at #7 on the most recent Mojo Playlist for our new mini album. That makes me happy. I KNOW I KNOW is in record stores now and can be found at Greville • Landspeed • Dada • Rockinghorse and Redeye.

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Melbourne launch with our pals Dog Trumpet, such a great afternoon.

---

Next gig for me is an exclusive dinner and show in duo-mode with Shane ‘the maestro’ O’Mara at Arcobar in Heatherton. A rare performance for just the two of us these days ...with fine dining, hope to see you there.

Sad to hear of the passing of Kinky Friedman. I played with him a couple of times at the old Caravan Music Club, where he also read from his book “Heroes of a Texas Childhood” ~ a moment stayed with me. Describing his father pushing a cart down the street, late 1940s selling potatoes shouting “kartofel, kartofel”. There was something in his voice when he read that piece I found incredibly moving. His sardonic wit wasn’t for everyone but if you listen to just one song, try “Jesus in Pajamas”.

The last of the Snarski + Morrison tea towels are now online. Designed by Brisbane post punk pop artist Terry Murphy ~ available for $20 plus postage. Yes, we’re posting overseas too but it’s a tad pricey.

Hope to see you in Heatherton, ...or somewhere.

MELB LAUNCH ~ TOMORROW

Just a quick reminder to Melbourne friends that the launch for I KNOW I KNOW is TOMORROW ~ Sunday, June 23 at The Brunswick Ballroom. DOORS 1pm.

Playing times ~
jonnie goes to church 130pm
SnarskiCircusLindyBand 215pm
Dog Trumpet 315pm

Last show for a while, hope to see you there.

MELB LAUNCH Sun June 23

As winter closes in we tend to play less and less. In fact our MELBOURNE launch at The Brunswick Ballroom is SCLindyBand‘s last show for a while. We’re trying to think of places we haven’t played [suggestions welcome]. Lindy and I have been kept pretty busy touring over the last year, so time to read, write and watch re-runs on TV. 

Excited to be joining Reg Mombassa’s DOG TRUMPET and JVG’s jonnie goes to church for our launch on Sun June 23. The last time I saw Reg was when The Blackeyed Susans played a show in support of TV show The Noise, we both wore dark suits ... he quizzed me on my apparel. I stumbled across a tape of the show recently as I was transferring all my videos to hard drive. In the audience was Amanda Brown, on the cusp on giving birth to her Bub ... he now has a law degree! ... that’s how long ago it was. Grant McLennan was in the audience too, round rimmed sunglasses, cream suit and matching fedora. All roads lead somewhere.

Thanks to everyone who’s bought the new mini album I KNOW I KNOW and those who came along to our Sydney launch at Camelot. Let me know what you think, if you care to. 

Hopefully see all our Melbourne friends at The Brunswick Ballroom for our early Sunday show. 1pm doors JUNE 23 🍂

SYDNEY Camelot THIS FRIDAY

Although Lindy Morrison doesn’t really consider herself a songwriter ~ she’s writing lyrics and divulging some pretty personal moments in three of the six songs on I KNOW I KNOW [the new release from SCLindyBand] ... not only that but a conversation I had with her inspired the opening track. I consider this to be a watershed juncture in her musical life. Of course she’s quite shy about it all, and shy is not an adjective usually associated with Lindy. Anyway, it’s been a joy to collaborate and co-write these new tunes on I KNOW I KNOW ... in-between the arm wrestles and arranging suitable fans [for her hair].

I KNOW I KNOW is streaming on all platforms and available on CD from robsnarski.com | Bandcamp and in stores distributed by MGM. 

Hopefully we will see all you good Sydney folk this ⚠️ Friday at Camelot MAY 31 ⚠️ as we look forward to sharing the stage with our friend Peter Milton Walsh [The Apartments] who will be joining us for a song or two.

Also, as an added incentive Lindy has decided to raffle off her only box of Robert Forster’s “Spring Grain” cereal. Surely, that’s worth the price of admission alone 🥣

Shows are popping up in Victoria too. Hope to see you somewhere.

New CD, streaming as of NOW!

I’m writing this from the passenger seat of the trusty Mazda 3 as Peter, Nellie and I head towards Coonawarra for a gig tonight at Bellwether Wines. The weather has been kind and I can see The Grampians not far off in the distance. The navigator has been playing up and I did take a wrong turn once or twice ... we’ve just passed the Giant Koala. 

After a busy, productive year the second SnarskiCircusLindyBand mini album has finally arrived. Pre-orders should be sitting in your letterbox or not far off. The album is also available to stream on all platforms as of now.

Looking forward to playing these new songs live. First stop, SYDNEY ~ where Dan Kelly, ‘Evil’ Graham Lee, Shane O’Mara, Lindy Morrison and myself perform some of these songs for the first time at the CAMELOT LOUNGE 19 Marrickville Rd, Marrickville on Friday MAY 31. TICKETS here.

In the meantime if you’d like to order I KNOW I KNOW on CD 💿 or to download head to The Shop or Bandcamp. 

I happened to be watching a documentary on The Saints last Friday night, an image of Lindy popped up wearing these astonishing glasses. 

Hope you enjoy the new record.

NEW CD close, solo ~ DYLAN + Sydney

Firstly, boxes of the new SnarskiCircusLindyBand CD are due to arrive on my doorstep next week. Anyone who pre-orders from the website or Bandcamp will have the mini-album a month before everyone else. 

Here’s the tracklisting and an anonymous review ~

I KNOW I KNOW ~ the opening routine kicks into full stride & muscle, as Lindy Morrison’s thoroughbred drums propel “I don’t think I’ll ever sleep with you again” as Snarski with acrobatic aplomb alights, stands on the saddle, arms outreached in perfect balance, declaiming vocals, chiming guitar, as astro fuzz burns bright, all rockin’ & reeling ... the troupe then backflip in exquisite synch into a '66 Kinks~y romp, O’Mara definitely with mascara in exotic climes, [is that a trombone we hear?] ... a familiar nostalgic chord leads us to act 3, an ode of beauty, of slow motion muse, another Lindy lyric and Amanda Brown’s heartbreak violins, in lulling duet at songs close ... we fall softly into act 4, the tempo quickens, music box 12~string guitar with dancing pedal steel, a whimsical melody with Dan Kelly’s harmony stylings inflecting breezy delight ... the 5th & penultimate presentation features ‘Evil’ Graham Lee’s debut in the vocal spotlight, a lyric focussing on the post-Covid struggle, unable to leave the couch, or house for that matter ... then we are bidden farewell with an alluring instrumental, a noir stroll at crepuscule "Wild Bluebells" ... the curtain closes.

Lindy is still in the UK, playing shows and visiting musician pals and familiar places.

Here she is outside of the Richmond Theatre ... the interior was used for the front cover band shot of The Go-Betweens “Spring Hill Fair”. 

LINDY promises to be back for our show at the Camelot Lounge, Marrickville MAY 31 for the launch of I KNOW I KNOW, not long now. Tickets available 🎫 here.

Before all this unfolds I’m heading to Bellwether Wines as part of the Penola Coonawarra Arts Festival in SOLO mode, something I haven’t done for a while.

Then I’m joining a cast of musician pals and acquaintances to celebrate Bob Dylan’s birthday ~ singing at The Palais no less, with guests aplenty. 

MAY is looking busy, see you somewhere… sometime.

NEW MINI ALBUM, new mini tour SYDNEY + VICTORIA

If Ray Davies and Loudon Wainwright III, somehow met Tom Verlaine and Kim Gordon at a Melbourne tram stop and formed a band, they might sound just a little like this new collection of songs from SnarskiCircusLindyBand... well, sort of. 

I KNOW I KNOW sees further collaborations between Snarski & Morrison as Lindy puts pen to paper and Rob finds melodies to swirl, curl and spin their way through “My Sweetheart Always Comes Back”, “Somewhere, Sometime” and “Parapet” [sung by Shane O’Mara]... as well as Rob writing an answer song to their earlier pop-hit “I Don’t Think I’ll Ever Sleep With You Again”, a Covid-lockdown song sung by ‘Evil’ Graham Lee, and a sweet, ethereal instrumental tune to close the 6-track mini-album “Wild Bluebells”.

The mini-album is available to pre-order on CD and due for release mid-May.

Shows are also in place across Sydney and Victoria, MAY 31 CAMELOT in Marrickville ~ HABA RYE JUNE 21 ~ VOLTA BALLARAT JUNE 22 where the band are joining Reg Mombassa’s DOG TRUMPET and finishing off at THE BRUNSWICK BALLROOM JUNE 23 [a Sunday afternoon soiree also with DOG TRUMPET + jonnie goes to church].

There’s a story behind the cover photo Lindy took at the South Australian Library, I’ll save that for another time. 

Hoping you’ll like this new collection of songs.

See you somewhere, sometime.

ADELAIDE with Lindy + more

There’s only two weekends of shows left before Lindy heads off to the UK for some touring duties with The Girl With The Replaceable Head. 

This weekend sees us return to ADELAIDE to play The Wheatsheaf Hotel as part of Adelaide’s Fringe Festival. Two shows on Sunday afternoon - MARCH 10, 3pm or 530pm.

Joining us are a swag of Adelaide’s finest musician friends ~ Romana Ashton (voice), Karl Melvin (bass), Greg Blanch (pedal steel) and Harry T. Gent (voice). Looking forward to it, such a joy to play with friends.

Tickets 🎫 here. 

BRISBANE ~ Lindy’s old hometown. Lots of friends come out of the woodwork to say hello up there in Queensland. Tickets are selling fast so be quick 💥 We’re at It’s Still A Secret on Sunday March 24, 8pm with the charming and mysterious Mia & Jamie from It’s Magnetic. Jamie’s musical saw playing is masterful. 

Tickets 🎫 here.

A big thank you to all who came along to our shows in WA ~ Perth and Fremantle were a dream. I’d packed my bathers but the sun disappeared. It rained, unheard of in February. Special thanks to Abi and her friends who came along to the house concert. 

When Lindy returns, SCLB hit the road again ~ June sees the release of our second mini-album, LINDY & US and a couple of shows with Reg Mombassa’s DOG TRUMPET. It’ll be a hoot, promise.

See you somewhere,

WA TOUR this week!

Perth & Fremantle this coming weekend ~ a return visit to Lyric's Underground, Maylands with Lindy Morrison [go-betweens] and a live podcast, Q&A in Fremantle ⚓️ at the Hybrid Warehouse.

The Fremantle show is a Saturday afternoon soirée ~ 230pm with the audience invited to ask questions. We’ll talk about the songwriting process, the past and whatever else is tossed our way. Tickets here.

Flashback <<<< The Go-Betweens • Red Parrot • PERTH • June 15, 1983 ~ I took this photo side of stage, Chad’s Tree supported, we were paid $50. I know this because it’s written in the back of my teen scrapbook. 14,863 days later Lindy Morrison 🥁 and I return to PERTH. Who would’ve thought?

In the meantime SnarskiCircusLindyBand have been busy in the studio working on our second mini-album ~ “Lindy And Us”. If Ray Davies somehow met Loudon Wainwright III, Tom Verlaine and Kim Gordon at a tram stop in Melbourne and formed a band, they might sound a little like this new collection of songs. 

We’ll also be heading to Adelaide playing our favourite SA venue, The Wheatsheaf as part of FRINGE & Brisbane in March to play It’s Still A Secret. The Brisbane show has almost sold out so lickety split if you’re keen.

See you somewhere,
