In Reply to: THE FALLING JOYS, now there is a great lost band posted by dave c on November 13, 2005 at 11:27:02:
Hi DaveYep, a great band. Good albums, great live. Lock It is an "indie" classic - a beautifu song.
I was also into into the Clouds - friends of Falling Joys - at the same time. Another great band... at least until Stuart Eadie left.
Hey Dave - my memory is a little muddled at present - but are you the same Dave who has been living in Aus ~ 4yrs? If yes - good pick-up on the Falling Joys!
Follow Ups:
I moved here in late 1999, like a bit plyaer in an old Prince song!
I used to work in the music business for some time so when I first came to Oz at the end of Feb 99, I really wanted to check out what was happening and what had been happening here.
The Falling Joys were something I tripped over on JJJ along with Ben Lee and Gerling just the first week I was here. Oh and Hunters And Collectors.
The Saints I had met/worked with in London, The Go Betweens I had liked, The Triffids I had adored as had the entire London music business (when Dave and The Red Ponies played in what 95(?) the gigs were so popular I couldn't even get near a ticket let alone a guest list), Nick Cave used to come down to Brighton where I lived a lot as he had a girlfriend there and so I was quite up (or so I thought) on Aussie music... until I got here!
What an interesting life you have! So, how are you finding the Australian music scene? I am feeling a little removed from it at present - with study commitments and no tuner! - though I am looking to dive back in post end-of-semesters (mine do not finish until Dec 2).What are you up to over the festive season - if you are up to seeing a band or so, let me know!
i love your music
I am just listening to Classic FM, and JUlian Day's Up Late programme which is essential if you haven't heard it mixing mmmm "art Music with early music and he just played a fantastic pie ce by ... Silage Kershaw (that was what it sounded like ) and maybe Costalli and announced that next Tuesday would be a feature on that kind of other worldly art music... 10.30 til midnight.30 Monday to Friday on well here in Brissie its mmmm 106.1.
I have no plans for the holiday period having just become single again so interesting music is on the map.
My next planned event is the next Fabrique at the Powerhouse which isn't till 16th December I think, but I seem to remember something cool sounding this weekend on the Jazzbrisbane website althoigh my aging memory is proving disfunctional at the moment and I can't be bothered checking!
Lazy bastard that I am...
Seems like I will need to hand over the $$$ for a tuner...Fabrique on the 16th sounds like a real possibility - I am up for it.
Jeff Usher and the Love Supreme Super Band is at the JWC - could that be what you were thinking of?
Okay, back to study - only 2 1/2 weeks to go! I feel sooo spent...
I can still remember how stressed its easy to get...
