Last night, The Missing Lincolns rocked Birrigai, alongside our friends The Ellis Collective and Julia & The Deep Sea Sirens. Playing a brightly lit hall, to a polite audience of 50 high schoolers, we sold a few albums and even signed autographs. Surreal.

¡PIZZA FIESTA!
Uploaded the first One Pot Punk Rock with a guest host/cook. El Christo really gave a whole new energy to the shoot. I think sporadic guests are going to be a mainstay for that very reason – it keeps it fresh for us. There’s at least one in the pipeline, so stay tuned…
SLIMER SESSIONS NOW ON LOCALNLIVE
New Slimer Sessions are now available on the LocalNLive Youtube channel.
We also spent Saturday driving around being serenaded by this guy.
THE PEANUT SOUP
Getting the hang of these webisodes. You know you are in a good place when each subsequent one becomes your favourite. The trick will be to maintain the momentum. And then go after the book deal…
The Missing Lincolns at Bootlegs
The Missing Lincolns played a set for Live’n’Local at The Bootleg Sessions on Monday. It’s about our fifth gig since the inclusion of Josh ‘Lovedozer’ Chaffey on bass, and we already can’t imagine how we got by without him.
We played a bunch of crowd favourites from the last record like Guitar Fighter and Majordomo, plus a swathe of upstarts in contention for our upcoming 2013/14 release.
Thanks to Massive Johnson for her exemplary visual art support, as usual. Photos by the immortal Adam Thomas.
UPDATE
Last week was slow, but should be back up to full speed now – got a new One Pot Punk Rock (“The Peanut Soup”) to edit tonight, and plenty of Slimer Sessions to drop.
ONE POT PUNK ROCK ON RIOTACT
One Pot Punk Rock had its first media coverage late last week when it appeared as the lead story on RiotACT. It generated some extra traffic, and one comment positing that it’s Kyle Sandilands beneath the mask. I’ll have to book him for a guest appearance.
BABYFREEZE VIDEO
Luke and I have big plans for our electro duo Babyfreeze going into ’13. As a warm-up we shot this little promo for our track Make Sense Of This Thing Between Us, which was produced by the inestimable Paul Heslin.
Videography by Luke, rolling out of bed twenty minutes before by Yours Truly.
SLIMER SESSIONS – DRILLBABY
We filmed DRILLBABY last night – the eighth act to grace the Slimer Sessions stage/back seat. It was certainly the most ambitious shoot yet – the instruments included an iPad, mini-keyboard, an LED-equipped mask, several circuit bending toys, and a bulbul tarang. IT. WAS. AMAZING.
It also gave us a chance to experiment with our new lighting rig, with fantastic results.
PROJECT Z
I had a meeting today at the National Sound & Film Archive regarding a project I can’t disclose yet (henceforth Project Z). Suffice to say, it made me feel like a legitimate “creative”. More to come.
