2009

> November 14 - 2ser have been playing some of our new tracks on their Breakfast and Overdrive shows. They had this to say: "Freewheeling, sometimes country-inflected, 70s golden-era pop with some lush instrumentation and joyous twists and turns. Ambitiously done, it’s smiley stuff with a lovely understated vibe"

> October 25 - Birdsong Almanac is available to order online.

> October 19 - Kate Kachor of Eleven magazine posted a review of the album launch.

> October 18 - ALBUM LAUNCH - The Red Rattler Theatre, Marrickville
We launched Birdsong Almanac in the luxurious surrounds of the Red Rattler. A great room (filled with ornate velvet couches that lend an air of fin de siècle decadence), run by lovely people who treat the performers with, you know, respect and stuff. We played 2 sets to a big crowd, ably assisted by Anton Schroeder on French horn, Antonio on sound, and, of course Graham Griffith on pedal steel guitar.

> May 19 - We had the album mastered by Reece Tunbridge at Benchmark Studios (thanks Kevin Rudd). You can hear four of the new songs (Paper Bird, Whippoorwill Time, Birdcatcher and Lit Up Like the Summertime) at our Myspace page.

> May 10 - Julianna Swaney ( www.ohmycavalier.com ) is working on artwork for the new album.

> April 2008- April 2009- Was spent recording and mixing our follow-up to Down With the Sun in the palatial surrounds of Ginsberg Studios, with Damian Press and Ant Whitehouse at the controls. Birdsong Almanac is a tight and tuneful collection of songs about love, beekeeping and native birds. On these recordings we have expanded our sonic pallette to include pedal steel guitar, trumpet, French horn and viola.
