Spartak Support

next wednesday, 24 september 2008, i will be playing at hyde park hotel supporting canberra band spartak. also on the bill is ghost of 29 megacycles.

spartak have a new record out - tales from the colony room. its out on hellosquare recordings and has been getting a fair bit of airplay on perths rtrfm.

greg taw will be joining me again for this show and i will return the favour by playing guitar/percussion during the ghosts set.

studio mama

earlier this year dwell magazine featured nina tolstrup's design firm studio mama. her designs have been inspiring, especially her re-purposing of old pallets into chairs and lamps. you can download the simple instructions are make these objects yourself.

since reading the dwell article, i have been inspired by Ninas approach to design. hopefully some this is showing up in my new works. i like the openness and homespum feel, its far removed from the mass produced designs that we are constantly bombarded with.
