Had a fantastic day recording Pocket Fox, Sebastian Field, The Cashews and Joe Oppenheimer in the back of the car. Thanks to everyone who got involved.
The Seasonally Affected Sessions are these beautiful little acoustic gigs run by Sam King on Sundays in the wintertime. Corroboree Park Scout Hall is a warm and cozy venue that fits a hundred people very comfortably and has a little kitchenette where they sell mulled wine and homemade food.
Seb and Jordan from Cracked Actor played as a duo, and my man Nick Peddle was drumming with his 8-piece Hug-Pop act Pocket Fox. I was doing my song-on-the-spot thing in the intervals.
Basically I get the crowd to yell out 15 words and then I have until the next interval to write a song that has all the words in it. Then I perform it straight away.
This time I had such evocative words as ‘appalling’, schizoid embolism’ and the ever-popular ‘penis’. Luckily Cammy T was there to hold up the lyrics for me and support me in his warm embrace.
