Mermaid Avenue

Well, that's a nice midweek surprise! Sugartown, the title track from our second album, has made the semifinals in the Americana category of Nashville's UO songwriting comp.

'Loveday No. 9' is the title track from our third album (which is being released later this year). Despite the upbeat, quirky nature of the music, the song is about Pete Clarke's Italian grandfather, Alfie, who emigrated to Australia pre-WWII…

Our song 'Prisoner' has been selected by the judges as a finalist in Blues and Roots Radio's International Song of the Year 2022. 

It's nice to do an interview where the questions aren't generic, run of the mill fare

Freelance music reviewer Evangeline has written a great little review of 'Sugartown' - thank you very much!! 

35 bands over three stages for one great cause. Let's help people get the Black Dog back on the leash.

The second single from album #3, an unabashed homage to 80's and 90's Oz Rock drops today.

Dino DiMuro gives us a great review and a 3.9/5 from the historically hard markers at Pitch Perfect magazine. They gave our first album 3.7/5 so we are definitely on the improve!

It's great to be out playing live again! We're having a quick midweek set with our friends from Maybe I Like the Misery tonight at Ric's.

It's an early set (MILtM on at 7 - we are on at 8)…

It's always great to read a favorable review (although you can learn a lot from a poor one too).
