It’s been 21 years since our friend and bandmate David McComb passed away ~ it may feel like a long time to some but David seems ever present in music and words and memories. This coming week sees the release of Truckload of Sky ~ The Lost Songs of David McComb and we mark the release by a special in-store acoustic performance at Rocksteady Records, Mitchell House, Melbourne on Monday Feb 17 [David’s birthday] at around 630pm. Some Triffids, some Susans ~ Alex Gow (Oh, Mercy), Romy (RVG) and myself providing vocals. There’ll be copies of the album available too.
Thanks to all who’ve been coming along to my shows this year. Next show up ~ I’m playing in solo mode in KYNETON at bar, diner, music venue, watering hole, burger joint and all ‘round friendly place MAJOR TOMS on leap day evening, FEB 29 ~ tickets available 🎫 if you fancy ~ 📸 by Tim C.
Then in March I’m doubling up with wunderkind, near~myth Peter Milton Walsh (from The Apartments) for the rarest of double bills. Half the tickets have already been swallowed up for these shows so be quick if you’re keen.
Archies Creek anyone? Shane O’Mara and I head to the new venue being run by the King of the Caravan Club, Peter Foley. It’s a little outta town ... if you’re heading towards Wonthaggi, Kilcunda or Phillip Island. Dinner and show ... plus accomodation if you needed a night away ~ they’re always trying something a little different so I’m looking forward to it. Tickets here.
Also, the Lost Songs of David McComb makes it’s live debut at The Adelaide Fringe Festival. We’ll be performing Thurs, March 12 at Adelaide University.
