Greg, Rob & I have been hanging out in Plett writing&recording some stuff as we go! This is a little pic of our setup…making music is the most fun anyone can ever have!!!

Its about time i added something to the family, so this time i chose the ’72 Deluxe. Its my first Fender without single coils, which means its thick and creamy but still sounds like a Tele. Its pretty dam sweet sounding, and happens to look ok too. I hope u guys enjoy the sounds of this thing as much as i do! Thanks Music Connection.

Ive been living in doors for a while now as i have been working on the Collected Memories Deluxe Edition DVD. Its coming out really nicely, and this video is a sneak preview of the Video Diary. Keep ur eyes out for the release date.

Marcus Maschwitz shot this photo of me a while back on my roof when he still lived here. I just came across it now and i really really like this one. I posted a different one a while back from the same shoot and they both such rad pics.

This one’s for the gear geeks. This was a first for me, and therefore worth a blog. Normally i use two very different sounding amps in stereo, a vintage Marshall, and a modern Fender and sometimes as on our last CT trip i used and AC 30 Vox and a Fender twin and was super happy with the sound. When we played Kirstenbosch Gardens, for the first time, i used two Vox’s. A 1963 AC 50 Vox + Cab, as well as a modern AC 30 Vox…and surprisingly it happened to be one of my sweetest sounding tones. I loved it, and Roger (best backline/monitor guy ever) solo’d my channels and listened to it most of the set which was cool. The first pic is of the two beautiful Vox’s and the second pic is the beautiful Kirstenbosch Gardens right before they opened the gates. Just under 4000 people piled in that day, and i absolutely loved the show.

Yesterday we shot the music video for the 3rd Zebra & Giraffe single Oxymoron. It was tons of fun, and we did it all completely by ourselves. Marcus shot a photo of each of us, after our performance shots… this isnt the ‘grade’ or ‘texture’ of the video, but was shot through a viewfinder of another rad vintage camera…love how they came out!!!!

marcus shot this photo of me sitting on the roof playing ‘blackbird’ and it’s such a great photo! actually uploading from my iPhone to check out how this works…i also happen to be 23 today!xxx

there is nothing more exciting as a musician to either be on tour, or to be in studio. we started in studio this week monday, with producer Darryl Torr and Openroom Productions. Its so much fun being here and is so rad to build on parts, and hear the songs develop. Other than not having enough food down here in the dungeon its been really great…it really is something super amazing to experience…this photo is actually from Zebra & Giraffe tour, shot on Greg’s old film camera… i will post some photos that Marcus shot of us in studio sometime soon…

Meet the band boys of Zebra and Giraffe.
