Deep Trbal Lore @ the Ace morning bar was pretty cool. Thank you Underground Pulse Revolution and the 13th MOON Crew for letting me be a part of it. It's also good to here that there will be events like that happening again there.
Last weekend I did my first gigs with Miles Jackson's live outfit called ELECTRIC BAR B Q. I was scratching and making freaky noises on my laptop. It was great fun. We played @ a pub on Sydney Rd called,, Ummm, The Retreat , I think. It was a MESSY CREW party. All in all a chill kind of beer garden affair. Nice. Then later that night but more like the next morning we played @ FLIRT. We sorted out all our techy type problems @ the gig we did earlier so we had no hick ups and pulled off a banging set. Even if I do say so myself :) I had a fantastic time working on this ELECTRIC BAR B Q project with Miles and we are currently working on a new show. I don't know when we will be playing next but we will be ready.
Now on the radio tip. Thanks a lot John Carew and Hamilton for filling in for me. Last week and a couple of weeks before that I,m sure they presented quality C A T programming.

tribal lore
Hello again...
First of all let me thank the ppl that pledged there subscription to my radio station P B S during the radio festival. I didn't get as many as I use to get on my old time slot but hey what do you expect. I,m only new at this time slot and ppl are still just discovering me. Tell ya friends about C A T on P B S. In Northern Europe I,m on around 6pm on a Saturday evening I think? (should really check that out) Anyway it's on between 2 and 6 am Sunday mornings here in Aussie land. So check it out if you get into the streaming radio thing. There's a link to the station just over there on the right hand side of the page.
This weekend should be a good one. If you live around Melbourne come along to this party (check out the flyer scroll down a bit). It will be something a little different I think. 2 rooms. Funky down beat hip hop /breaks/ live percussion in the front room as you walk in. Then as you find your way to the back of the venue it gets weirder and faster. I,m playing last I think maybe second last. I have to get someone to fill in for me for the last couple of hours on my radio show. It's gunna be a big night but I,m up for it.

HARD SELL
Now Radio........I started @ PBS around the end of 92 sharing a insomnia shift on Tuesday mornings. The show was called S T A C K. I did this with a fella called Dave Nissani. After a couple of years doing that time-slot I moved to Friday nights 10-12 and the show was renamed to Creative Alternative Techno (C A T). That is were it stayed for 11 years. It is the longest running electronic music program in Australia. Now Creative Alternative Techno has been moved and once again I,m doing an insomnia shift. Sunday mornings 2-6am.
It's so sad. I was moved because I wasn't bringing enuff money into the station and I don't play any music recorded before 1990 by a four piece band from America. PBS is a community radio station and relies on subscribers and sponsorship. PBS gets no money from the government. It is COMMUNITY. Although these days it's the community with money that gets what they want when they want it. You poor kids better start liking the music the rich kids like. Is that community? All or should I say most of the announcers including myself are not paid any money to do there shows. They do it because they are passionate. To put it simply if you do not subscribe to electronic or hip hop programs on PBS they will slowly disappear. So if you are into hip hop or electronic music please give us some money. Subscribe to my show NOW ! Pretty please with sugar on top. Click that link over there. You can use your credit card.
