Oh what a beautiful morning!!!

.....oh what a beautiful day....We've got a glorious feeling, Howards finally called it a day!!

11 years of skullduggery, xenophobia, corruption, lies ...lies and more lies, facism, right wing inflexibility and inequality, work fuckin choices, terrorism mongering and Bush butt licking, homophobia and general crimes against humanity are over!!
...and thats just his good points!!!

The election silly...thats here in Australia
We definitely wear a green heart on our sleeve and its a left one as well

On a band note
Just came out of the studio and its even better than we'd hoped for....wont give too much way but I was just up on a beautiful hill in the country watching the sunrise and listening to our version of "Norwegian Wood" and trancing out on harmonies and Andis sitar impressions on 12 string

Love to all

UK action!!

There’s been a lot of action in the Blue Valentine camp of late.

After their shows in Mudgee, Orange and Sydney and the Live to airs on REAL FM and ABC Central West radio, they took a well deserved rest.

With the release of their CD online internationally on CD baby they have been gathering attention from overseas and the UK in particular.

Journalists from the Bucketful of Brains, the oldest running Fanzine in London have been interested and there is also interest from a few DJ’s on BBC2 and BBC6.

Currently the band are heading back into the studio at Sunpower in Mudgee to start work on a follow up EP. Its early days yet and wont see the light of day till March/April 2008. Word has it that it will include a crowd favourite or two plus some new originals and will feature their latest addition, Andi Garland on Guitar.
