Finally got to put a show on with my little brother Mikey for the first time in 12 years - last time we did a live show together was putting on HTRK in Byron Bay at the Great Northern pub back in 2012. Guerre and Colourwaves supported. Wild.

Anyway his new band Trim Reaper I've already talked about here because Caitlin and I did a remix of their track. They're phenomenal live - their new EP is a great distillation of what informs their work, but they're even more muscular and engrossing as live performers.

5 weeks in Busselton while the kids finish school. More to write about that than can fit in a quick update post.

Extremely grateful to Adam Lewis and Dom Alessio who brought back their famous music trivia format after a year away, to raise funds for SydneyMusic.net. Their music trivia is basically responsible for Caitlin and I getting together, and has been an important part of our corner of the community over the years.

Having their classic trivia brought to life with such an amazing cross-section of Sydney's broader music community was really special - and the money raised immediately helped make the immediate term of the organisation's future a little easier to manage. We have some more good news, stay tuned...

Getting lots of super wonderful offers to hold fundraisers etc for the project, we're keen but also want it to be a good use of everyone's time, super representative of the scene as a whole, not boosting particular scenes over others etc etc. We'll keep trying to figure it out!

More to come ...
