I just finished a 14 minute mockumentary about a music road trip I took through the Appalachians in October last year with old musician buddy Lucy Foley. Its called Skeltys and Foley: The Journey of The Band of Discovery. Edited in Melbourne with the invaluable help of the wonderful, and multi-award winning Nick Meyers. BoD will be screening as part of Pittsburgh’s annual Three Rivers Arts Festival on Saturday 12 June, 4pm at the Harris Theatre downtown Pittsburgh. Any resemblance to Ken Burns’ historical epic ‘Lewis and Clark: The Journey of The Corps of Discovery’ is purely coincidental!

'Skeltys and Foley: The Journey of the Band of Discovery' coming soon to a multiplex near you!

On Sunday 22nd May at 6.00pm, I’ll be holding a video event at Longplay, Melbourne’s grooviest micro-cinema and bar (318 St George’s Rd, North Fitzroy, near corner of Holden St). I’ll be showing some videos and telling some stories about my USA adventures thus far, including the world premiere of Skeltys and Foley: The Journey of the Band of Discovery, a short film about the music road trip through the Appalachians that I undertook with fellow Aussie musician Lucy Foley in October 2010. I’ll be joined by Nick Meyers, Australia’s finest film editor and all around entertainer. Nick will be sharing some of his rare and saucy sci-fi cult films from the 50s, 60s and ’70s. Anyone in Melbourne is most welcome to drop in, share a drink and nibble and nestle up for a long night of fun. Flyer with details is below.

I attended Moogfest in groovy Asheville, North Carolina, a month ago and realised a long held dream to pay my respects to Bob Moog’s family. I caught up with the lovely Michelle Moog-Koussa, and recorded an interview with her where she talks about the work of the Moog Foundation, Moogfest 2010 and shares some memories of her amazing Dad. Its up on my video page, and my YouTube Channel. The clip features music from the wonderful 2 CD + DVD release ‘ReCognition‘, a retrospective of 20 years of Australian underground electronic music and video art produced by the members of Clan Analogue.
