Startling sonics sprayed hither & thither forthwith!


Wednesday April the 24th ~

I'll be activating the bat-shit crazy late shift at Palmer & Co from 11pm (rather than 10) for the next fortnight, as we celebrate the opening of new nosherie Good Luck across the way, with live music returning for the three hours prior. All for free!


Thursday April the 25th ~

I'll also be rolling up to Dashville a day earlier than usual this year, for the specific purpose of bracketing The Gum Ball's ANZAC Day set by old mate Gareth Liddiard (who still holds the record for most appearances on my radio show, despite ceasing to do media on gig days about a decade ago). If you are heading north for the weekend make tracks in time if possible. It's a rare chance to hear this man's epic solo fare in full, lit by fire, under the stars.


Friday April the 26th ~

Thence it's back to routine gratituitous Gum Ball gallivanting: a three-way, three-hour Silent Disco shenanigan with Urby and Liz Ham alongside from 12.
Earlier, the evening will escalate exponentially: as RVG pass the baton to Tropical Fuckstorm; before ex Cramps, Bad Seeds and Gun Club member Kid Congo brings his Pink Monkey Birds band (this time featuring Mick Harvey on bass) to a midnight climax. I just can't get over the calibre of this line-up!


Saturday April the 27th ~

Hopefully we'll be able to reassemble ourselves into some semblance of solid shape in time to drive back to the big smoke, as there are some pretty sweet live prospects in the offing for Jack Off. We know that Asha Jeffries will appear to perform Brand New Bitch and there is a chance that even Beth Orton will grace us with her presence. Tune in between 3 and 5 to see what transpires on the day!

Afterwards I'm sure to be feeling like a little sophistication after all of these wild and woolly adventures in the bush, so I deeply appreciate that my final gig of the week will be at Dean and Nancy on 22 - where you too can sup on morsels and medicines whilst taking in the tunes. Entry is free. Find me there between 9 and half 12 if yr keen!

Shirty sonics shift mental blocks and rock socks.


Wednesday April the 17th ~

The first of an entire week of gratis gigs erupts at Palmer & Co between 10PM and 1.30AM tonight.


Friday April the 19th ~

Then a CBD double as the weekend begins: with vintage fare at Maybe Sammy for three hours from 6; before I melt all the other music of Earth into the mix at Dean and Nancy on 22, from 9PM til 12.30AM.


Saturday April the 20th ~

Lastly I will triple the missions: via a mysterious mosaic aired on Jack Off between 3 and 5; a more modern Maybe Sammy from 6 til 9; and a Sham DJs suite of sight and sound on vinyl at the Bob Hawke Beer and Leisure Centre, from half 8 til half 11.

Revealing and relentless audio-visual overkill.


Wednesday April the 10th ~

The full-scale fiasco pops off from tonight as London's Donovan Bar is teletransported to Sydney's Dean and Nancy on 22 for a guest shift as part of this year's Maybe Festival. Join us for sophisticated sips and songs between 7 and 10pm.

Thence I'll fly down to my regular mid-week haunt of Palmer & Co - playing through til around 1.30am, whereupon I'll reconvene with all the reprobates of the cocktail world at The Caterpillar Club.


Thursday April the 11th ~

After barely enough time to sleep anything off it's back to Dean and Nancy on 22 for a Maybe Festival double-header, with two more of the world's great hotel bars - Hong Kong's Argo and Singapore's Origin - pouring their astronomical creations for all lucky attendees. I'll stir sounds in from 5 til 10.


Friday April the 12th ~

There will be no returning to Earth as on Friday we head up to the Oxford House Pool Bar to experience guest service from NYC's legendary Greenwich Village cafe and bar Dante. Brave the waves and swim up for a sublime sample between six and half-nine.


Saturday April the 13th ~

As the compounding conniptions continue I hope that Jack Off will somehow be healing when broadcast betwixt 3 and 5pm on FBi Radio.
Directly afterwards I'll be dragging my sorry arse up to the Newtown Dendy to introduce the willfully-cringey wannabe-influencer comedy Drugstore June, screening at 6.30 as part the Inner West Film Fest.
Thereafter, as the full Maybe Fest circus moves on to myriad other venues, it's back to Dean and Nancy on 22 for the third time. Thankfully on any given day (they are open 7 now) they have strong coffee and phenomenal food. I will avail myself of both while spinning tunes from 9pm til 12.30am for free.

I'm off to Wisemans before the wet descends, then...


Wednesday April the 3rd ~

Antique music via modern means, mid-week at Palmer & Co from 10pm and 1.30am. Free like all these gigs!


Friday April the 5th ~

Quit printing and exit the office in an orderly fashion for a vinyl-only set at Marrickville's Bob Hawke Beer and Leisure Centre between 8.30 & 11.30.


Saturday April the 6th ~

Jack Off under radio control betwixt 3 and 5 on FBi.
Then see grown adults play with toys whilst sipping on sublime cocktails at Maybe Sammy from 6 til 9.
