successes

Firstly my band The Escalators was successful in obtaining a grant to help with a planned tour in 2010. The tour is planned to visit all the capital cities of Australia. I have been working extensively with Kiron Robinson (a melbourne artist and my brother) to devise a set for the show that works in with the concepts of the music. Concepts that revolve around David Lynch, stasis etc.
Secondly CW Stoneking and the Primitive Horn Orchestra (a band I play in) won an AIR award and an ARIA award this week for the fantastic album Jungle Blues.

The Escalators Video

I have uploaded some video of a recording of my band The Escalators playing the track Log Lady. This is a track of the bands debut album Wrapped In Plastic which is to be released on the Jazzhead label in early 2010. The band features the remarkable talents of DJ Element on turntables, Marc Hannaford on Piano, Joe Talia on drums, Mick Meagher on bass, Lawrence Folvig on guitar, Pat Thiele on Trumpet and myself on Trombone. Video has been created for the grup by Kiron Robinson Michelle Robinson and myself.
