Leaving on a Plane

Hi you all, this will be our last update before we leave for Sydney.

As some of you might be aware of, Bobz and I have been traveling and busking together around Australia for the past 4 years.

We kicked-off in Perth; in Northbridge to be exact. Back then we were alternating between playin' the Djambe and doing the acoustic sets unplugged. Perth is a steadily-expanding city... Bobz tells me that there was a time, as a child when it seems, it was a little place where he finds himself connected to every third person or so in some ways by jobs, schools or they'd be friends of another friend. However, people and places are constantly evolving and even from when we were last there, I've heard that much have changed since we left.

Anyways, after a year immersed in the vibrant little party suburb, we bid farewell to family and friends in Perth and we continued across to the Gold Coast where we spent the following year busking and gigging. Now the Gold Coast unlike Melbourne, is a party town where people are always in transit so it's very much fleeting and fancy-free. We don't party much so we spent a lot of time by the pool at the old Motor Inn(converted apartment), which looks more like an algae ridden pond; but the highlight of Gold Coast of course, had to be the endless beach that stretched on forever.

When we finally got to Melbourne, it was the winter of 2007. We were still tanning in the Gold Coast the day before, so you can imagine our shock when we got here and were chilled to the bone. However, as we performed through three chilly winters, we will always remember how you've all kept us warm with your open hearts and your radiant smiles. Sometimes, when we notice you all-collared up in the icy breeze, we wish that we were playing in a comfortable shelter where you can all be out of the cold!

Anyways, we love you all and attached is a little video to remind us some of the wonderful moments which we've shared here in Melbourne!

Till we return again,

Going gets tough!

At the moment, we're having all sorts of problems understanding the techno-jargon that comes with music engineering. If we had thought that music is a language on its own, boy! ..sound engineering is a whole new culture! Our minds are boggled by the amount of script we had to go through just to skim the surface of this small part of a whole movement in music making.

Prior to that we spent an entire 3 months troubled-shooting various music programs thinking that we have an incompatibility issue with our midi keyboard.. only to discover that our brand-new keyboard was busted! :(

Reading pages and pages of manuals and 'google help-pages' has gotten us all cross-eyed! Tell me why I have a strange feeling the both of us should have paid more attention in school when we were learning how to speed-read.

Anyways, I will not make you guys read anymore than we've had to. Here's a video of us on Swanston performing one of the crowd favorites... I'm yours!
