So finally, we're heading to WA to launch the new LOW FIDELITY CD.
Looking forward to seeing all my pals in Fremantle and Mt. Lawley. I have fond memories of some pretty enthusiastic foot stomping encores at The Astor last time for the "Wounded Bird" tour so I'm hoping we can provide the same musical moments to garner a similar response for the songs from LOW FIDELITY (SONGS BY REQUEST VOLUME 1 - covering Lou Reed to Pulp, Glen Campbell to Nina Simone, Spiritualized to Lee Hazelwood and much, much more) ... no doubt we'll be playing songs from WOUNDED BIRD too.
The tour has been going very, very well. Recently we've had a sellout show in Adelaide, a cracking show at the Caravan Music Club in Melbourne and a wonderful in-store at Basement Discs CBD with Pat Monaghan MC-ing the event ... so fingers crossed there'll be a few familiar faces at the shows in WA in late August.
My musical partner in crime this time around is guitar maestro Shane O'Mara, he's played with everyone from Paul Kelly to Edwyn Collins, Chris Wilson, The Audreys and to his own Rebecca's Empire and also produced countless recordings ... a lovely chap and a tremendous musician.
Thanks to everyone for coming along to the shows, buying the CDs and "Come shopping with Rob" Tote Bags..!
Hope to see you soon.
