As promised, here’s a new song to download for free. Ice Shelves is something a little different from Flying Foxes. It’s darker, slower and better than old songs. It also has organ and trumpet. This is remarkable, as that’s two more instruments than previous releases. Happy rocktober everyone.

Surprise! There will be a brand new Flying Foxes song to download for free from this very same site in a few days time. It’s called Ice Shelves and the artwork is posted below. It’s a bit spookier than the Ticking Boxes songs and it’ll be yours in time for Halloween.

I’ll be spinning some tunes at Q Bar this Friday for Sosueme with The Vines, Bridezilla, Lost Valentinos, The Holidays, Frangipani, The Protectors, Chaingang, Step Panther, Sideways Hitchhiker, The Upskirts, Fishing, Paper Moon, Aplonea, Ace Squad and Bon Chat Bon Rat.

Any requests?

Hey does anyone play the trumpet? We’re recording a new song called Ice Shelves and we’d love to collaborate. #trumpet

I’m currently writing and rehearsing some new songs. We’ll return to stage again soon, but in way you’ve never heard before.

Working titles include:

Girls Of Radiology
Empty Homes + Broken Bones
Double Crossing
Ice Shelves By The Sea Shore
Avalanche

The holiday weekends are a brief breath of fresh air in a car repair epicentre. Rosebery has been virtually car free, which is amazing. If only it was like this all the time. Life is easier without the noise, smell, cough, taste and shear deadliness of the four-wheeled monsters stalking our streets. I’m back in recording mode so I’ll have some new tunes to post soon. In the meantime, Ticking Boxes is available as a “Pay What You Like” high quality download from the music section of this site. The money will help us cover the recording costs and doesn’t go to Mr Jobs & co.

We’re back in Sydney and we’re hitting the ground running. First stop The Loft at UTS on Broadway this Friday March 19. It’s a free show, so the fun is on us.
