The first real jam of a new song idea. Came together really fast – about 30 mins at this point. That rarely happens for us.
Brad got a bit carried away in the solo – but its was just a jam.. so no harm no foul..
Vocals are totally unwritten at this point. Any ideas on style?

So this is a track that has been lingering for a little while, it was done a little while ago, it’s incomplete and that why its here in RAWCUTS. This started out life as and Dave J and Nate (DATE) track and there was a hint of someone playing bass on this too but yet to come to fruition. There are many things that need attention in this track, like the intro is less than par, maybe the verse drums are too hard hitting, the bridge is cool but maybe to different and the end maybe too long. Nate’s vox are stellar as usual, the understated style is awesome here but, more vox are needed to make it come to life. I thought this would would be a good stage to throw this on for some feedback, i know Nate and myself are keen on this track and will finish it, but just need the motivation….
All comments welcome, here we go:

Hey all, this is an oldie by comparison to a bunch of new stuff we have done (yet to be uploaded), but still, this is unfinished, surprise surprise with me (DJ). I figured it would be cool to upload to see if its worth pursuing, i really like the feel of it, Nate did a stellar job on the vox, listening back i cant remember how much more i wanted to do to this, but anyhow any feedback you guys have is always appreciated…
Some of the singers we’ve had come through.. These are the good ones.. Taken some time hit the singers with actual chops… to
All different.. all killer fun to play with… Some we said no to.. others said no to us.. Still trying to find a good fit for all.. Mostly just busting out covers on the first meet.. was a fair amount of real time iphone guitar tab searching going on in these.. audio gold guaranteed..
George Walt – Good ol’ Led Zep
A small portion of a song i’m trying to create from a recording I made a good while back of a mate that plays Didge.. a very different idea trying to write to a mostly monotone instrument.. cool though.. I hate the hi-hat in this but it’s a very early export.. gonna be a loooong song I suspect.. but thats cool.. i’m not out to wow people with beats or riffs in this one.. just aiming for a cool vibe.. mix needs work, but hell.. i’m making it up as I go!.. any advice on direction from here would be cool..
Here’s one we did ages ago!!! This is roughly 12 months old, there’s 2 versions, 1 with vox and an extended version without vox, its all very un-pollished, but i really like this track, I think Tim’s Vox were something about war but you guys can correct me in the comments, black bird hang’in in the sky line is killer…So let us know if this a track worth persuing…Screw it i’m calling this one Black Bird, Enjoy…

Okie Dokie, so this is from, hmmmm early 2010, has a unique feel and plan to do something with this, sent to a few of the guys for vocal ideas but i think they though WTF! lol, anyway have a squiz and see what you think….
A rare house party recording from the massively popular Euthanize. Robins 30th (yeah right ha!!) birthday bash live from Toms flat.
A wild night. We’d like to thank all the followers @RobinCbass for coming out. Was a hella pumpin’ evening.

Late Summers afternoon,
Esky dragged from van, over shrub filled hills, parting soft sloping sand,
Low slung Sun floods copper tones, a fire pit parted, the evenings home.
The first Coca Cola™ is pulled, with the ice done it’s need,
And with a hint of a theatrical pause – metallic cap – is free’d.
“timp-op”
And with that simple sound….
The party is started….
A live home recording of George and I writing and working on a tune.. Dont think the band ever really took a shine to this song, but I think it’s one of my better ones.. I never totally finished it.. Foot timing stomps and background prompting are loud due to the wood floors and high celing in the loungeroom – an awesome room for acoustic jamming though.. Live off the field recorder.
Now the band Polymer has split, I thought i’d dig out some of the solo home recordings I made when writing some of the music for the band. These are pretty different to what we ended up playing.. Written for 2 guitarists. Might try and finish these with drums and vocals.. will see..

Raw Cut – This is what I am working on next. Written about 10 years ago. Licensed the lyrics and melody through TAXI to another artists but it never went anywhere. Never recorded before. This is the rough guitars to allow me to get the timing down. We’ll see where it goes. I plan on it being much bigger and more bombastic in the choruses and second and third verses.
* Update – A short clip with a preview of where the song is going
Need to add the chorus backing vocals and then re-track the lead vocal.
Then add the lead guitar and some additional ear candy. I thought I would have it finished this weekend but came down with a wicked head cold and can’t hear anything (or sing)
Another quality Rawcut post for us.. This is a two part dealie.. The first was just Jeff and Brad making stuff up on the spot to kill time while we waited for the other guys to arrive and set gear up.. Found out Kim (vocal) wasnt gonna make it as Liaf rolled in.. We jsammed on the chords later in the evening – and this is what it was.. Laif slotted in really well – he never heard the earlier jam.. Vocals are well, plain nasty in many many places.. Not great at making lyric melodys up on the spot while playing.. enough excuses.. haha… Were happy to let others hear us be wayward.. Just a jam, and not near a song.. Ugly in parts, but it moves itself along.. hmm.. that could be a lyric………

Pay attention now – This is deadly serious. From the depths of pop culture, comes a new band destined for stardom, from left to right the band (keith – vocals, tom – drums, stevie whales – guitar and robin – bass) hubristicly strike a chord with audiences from far and wide and touch on some of the key dynamics that make or break most bands in its wake. Enjoy…
Doing our part to lower the Rawcut expectations.. Improvised jam with a lone lamp in the middle of the room.. Gets kinda beefy in the latter half..
Live in jam room with field recorder… arrwoooOOO!
