May the family gather around the camp fire. As the boys from the bush harmonate in this serenading track.

This is a new song that my singer and I are working on. I thought I would post the evolution for the raw cuts.
This is just two guitar parts I had floating around in my head. Allen (the singer) will hand me some lyrics this week and then I can start crafting the music around the lyrics better and start determining what instruments will be playing what parts.

hey dudes, just a quick idea for a verse and chorus. Has more of a rock feel than my normal stuff, Nate (Smash the Gate) Rose is keen to develop a vox track for this idea so everyone should get to see the song as it progresses which will be cool…Any ideas and feedback welcome…

This was the first song that I recorded with the singer. He wrote the song and was performing it acoustically when I first heard it. I thought it was catchy and he told me how he heard it in his head, so we recorded what he heard. More wall of sound guitars. This was mixed before my last one, but I needed to hold off on one last part and that was the short guitar solo – I wanted a classic amp for it – a 68 Fender Princeton for the solo… sweet, sweet amp. I think I might need to bring the solo up just a hair.
A live stereo mic recording of us jamming on a new idea in at practice lastnight.. Its kinda long as we were just cruising along.. Almost in Stoner Rock territory.. Very cool in the middle section.. No vocals as George couldn’t make it to practice.. New method of fast recording.. Sounds like this is going to be the way we capture jam ideas on the fly from now on..

The second live recording of us instrumentally jamming on an idea created last night. Again, no vocals, but has potential. The band is feeling much more in synch as the weeks go by.. This tune is still in progress..

I thought I would post an older song while I am mixing another one with my new singer…
About two years ago my wife was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor in her abdomen. That night I laid in bed wondering what the future would hold. I got up about 1 in the morning and drove a couple of hours into the desert and just sat on a rocky hill listening to the night sounds; the sunrise was one of the coolest I have seen. I went home and came up with this song. It is a couple of years old and its a mellow instrumental with orchestra, synths and guitar riffs. It mirrors my experience just laying there in the middle of nowhere and the feelings I was going through at the time..
This past Christmas my wife was able to successfully have her tumos removed and was given a relatively clean bill of health for the time being.

An in progress cut of my second punk tune (as requested by Mangrove). No drums or bass on this yet. Cuts etc are still messy. Only a few vocals written so far as well. Thought you guys might like to hear a tune mid recording. I mic’d my little practice amp for all the guitars except one small section – i bet you can pick the Amplitube’d part – it sounds really bad! I’ll finish this in the next few days then post it on the main page. Cliche punk drums will really stick it in the style i’m hoping..

Created and jammed on last night. Very different for us as its not a 4/4 time sig. By no means complete, inprov vox, changes, basslines etc.. ie: us birthing a tune idea. Guitars cant be heard, but, vocals sound great.. this ones going to be good once written..
Relationships are often complicated things. We all have walls put up to shield ourselves from others. Its when those walls come down that the relationship changes. Sometimes it’s time to leave.
Crunchy guitars, melodic piano and memorable bridge and chorus create a toe-tapping / head bobbing rock song.

A weird short recording created one Friday evening. I was as in the mood to write something but didnt have a starting point of any kind. Recorded a single goof acoustic part and got bored. Plugged in the ol faithful GT6 pedal and grabbed my “Encryption days” Ibanez.. and bamm.. another so-so idea was born.. Even I think this tune is kind of odd… cuts out sharply.. I hate doing that..
A mostly complete tune from Hunter and Brad Green recorded the same writing evening as “Ode to Kate”. It drops out at the bridge as we were still in the middle of writing the song. We recorded this one live with only the shaker track being added later. Basically a practice session for Brad to try the odd harmony here and there.
An original, easy listening, adult contemporary track entitled, “ode to Kate”. Havn’t we all had one of those at some point. This is an old Hunter & Brad duo recording, captured at the East St Studios (blobs house) in the wee hours of the morning..Parkes – Aus – July 2006

Extended jam of a very loose idea, field recorded, sorry you can’t hear the vocals. Really gets going about 2mins in, still an idea, cheese on rye…
A total improv screw around at the end of practice.. Actually almost sounds like a song.. I think were gonna keep it for the rougher gigs we may encounter.. If you listen close you can hear us negotiating with Jeff’s wife for 3 more minutes jam time past curfew… haha… awesome fun though.. poor recording – field recorder –
Raw field recorder capture of us jamming a riff idea.. Music only – Big G was absent this jam
An “on sofa with acoustic” recording of me trying to make a country song as requested. I really dislike country so this was as close as I could get off the cuff. A new much more cliche country tune is in the works, but this was still kinda goofy fun..

Originally wrote this over a year ago as a possible colab tune for Nate and I to mess with. Just some guitar parts recorded with my strat into the old version of Guitar Rig
