Was a privilege to finally get Single Twin (aka Marcus Teague) back up to Sydney - 12 years since the last show we did together. Here was the last show in 2012. And here was the one prior to that in 2011.

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.

Super proud of this series.
