Had a great rehearsal with Devils Gate Outfit today. Here’s a slice of sound from the get together, it’s a tune brought in by Dave Donaldson that he transcribed from Balinese music I believe.

Had a wonderful time playing Terror of the Deep's album Space Epic up at the Space Place in the botanical gardens here in Wellington. For some weird reason I'd never been there, the actual place has a lot going on, and the dome where we played with visuals projecting above us was phenomenal. Warwick did great work with the sound, which was a tough gig what with it being circular and voices traveling in such unusual ways. I haven't played a lot of indie music, this was awesome working with dudes who've been at it forever and know their shit!

Great night last Friday playing with Black Spider Trio at Bedlam & Squalor to celebrate the release of their new album. James, Sam and Scott have delved so deeply into the Django and associates sound and style, even though they're such lovely dudes it can still feel a little intimidating to be sitting in playing music that they obviously know so well. The crowd was a good one, full and generally attentive and enjoying it a whole heap. Here's a link to the new record that features myself on one lovely original and a bunch of other Wgtn musos that they've worked with before.
