Hi Y’all, I am excited to be playing with Jungal at their album launch show this Fri…..Been moving house so still surrounded by boxes but getting on top of things now. I had an awesome time singing with Black Cab last Thurs night in Melb at the launch of the single that I have sung backing vocals on Sexy Polizei.

21.Apr.2010 Goodbye NSW, hello SA!!

Had large time in NSW – thanks to all who came along to the shows. I have “Tas” the touring mascot on the dash and instruments in the back and now we’re off to SA!! Really enjoyed the people I met in NSW at the shows – great to meet y’all and thanks for sharing your secrets with me

It is so isolating at times as a muso, you tend to move from place to place in such a hurry that you really miss the people you meet and want to stay longer. To Pina and Ness, thanks for your hospitality and the gorgeous guys and gals in Syd who hung out after the show – Andrew and Graham at Notes and to my friends Rach and Ben in Newcastle and the lovely staff at the Brass Monkey in Cronulla – you make it all worthwhile.

Emily Davis I look forward to playing with you tomorrow night GIRL at the Grace Emily in Adelaide!! See you then….with love, Mx

21.Jan.2010 After the goldrush

She packed away all her belongings and exited through the rear door of the day that began with a headache at the computer and ended with a young woman mistaking the smell of a bowl of organic tomatoes for that of a dead body….causing uproarious laughter!
