Skukum

The Experiment is travelling up to Brisbane in October to play a very special show at The Junk Bar’s Skukum Lounge. It’s on Saturday Oct 20th, and will be our only headline show for the year up in Brisbane. Joining us will be our friends Fraser & Stone, and this will most likely sell out, so it’s highly advised you book a ticket, and book it soon, as there’s limited places available. Tickets are available through Oztix and via the The Junk Bar Website here.

This Friday October 12th we’re back in Melbourne and playing a hometown show at one of our favourite venues, the Coburg RSL. Two sets from 8:30pm, and the generous people at the RSL are providing free entry for good-looking people, which means you.

Thanks to everyone who also came out to see us on our recent jaunt up to Sydney, Maitland, and Canberra. It was great to see so many new faces, and we were very happy to play for you all. Thanks to Jackie Marshall for having us along on the tour too - check out her new record Lilith Shrugs, because it’s a pearler - it got a four-star review from The Weekend Australian just the other day. Special thanks also to Melissa Fraser for being an experimenter on Bass for these shows too!

In October, the CP Experiment will be heading up to Brisbane, QLD, to play a ticketed show at The Junk Bar in Ashgrove. It'll be our only headlining show in Brisbane for the year, so I hope you can make it. Support is from Fraser and Stone, and it's all happening on Saturday October 20th. Get your tickets here at oztix.

Before we do that though, we'll also be hitting the road for some shows with Jackie Marshall to support her album launch, and here are those dates:

Friday September 21st - The Spotted Mallard, Brunswick, Melbourne VIC.
Thursday October 4th - Leadbelly, Newtown, Sydney, NSW.
Friday October 5th - The Junkyard, Maitland, NSW.
Saturday October 6th - Smith's Alternative, Canberra, ACT.

What fun to support our friends The Good Minus with their single launch at the Old Bar. They are such nice guys. Too nice, maybe. It makes you think they are up to something.

Our next show will be on Thursday July 12th at The Retreat as a double headliner with musical legends John Dowler's Vanity Project. Two sets of power-pop meets desert psychedelia to feast your ears upon. Free and easy from 8:30pm.

Old

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us and our desert soundscapes at Ben Mastwyk's launch last week. You can pick up or stream Ben's new album at all good suppliers.

The next Experiment gig will be Thursday June 14th at The Old Bar in Fitzroy, Melbourne. We'll be supporting our friends The Good Minus as they launch their new single 'Wonderful'. Also playing will be one of our musical heroes, Mr J. Walker of Machine Translations. The cover's only $10 and it's gonna be a night of pretty excellent music. Come along and smell that fresh desert breeze.

The Experiment's next show is supporting our good friends Ben Mastwyk and His Millions launch their new single on Friday June 1st at the Melba Spiegeltent in Collingwood, and also along for the ride for a night of psychedelic ramblings and honky tonk samplings is Freya Josephine Hollick. You can get your tickets here!

Mayhem

The next Experiment gig coming up will be on Sunday May 6th at The Standard in Fitzroy. You want musical rambling, we got it. Two sets of it, in fact.

My music isn't being featured this time, but the next New Stage concert is taking place on Wednesday May 2nd at Some Velvet Morning in Clifton Hill from 8:30pm. Come along to hear new music from May Lyon, Luke Speedy-Hutton, Wayne Kington, and Eli Simic-Prosic.

Minus/Agadez

I've just recently received a proper recording of the Flinders Quartet performing my piece Agadez, which is the second part of my first String Quartet that was written last year. It's from the live concert at The Docklands, and they do a really wonderful job of it; it was a privilege to work with such wonderful musicians. I hope you enjoy listening to it here:

If you wanted to watch the full concert, it's up online here too. It really was a great event.

The Experiment and I have a show coming up next week on Thursday April 19th at The Retreat Hotel in Brunswick. Joining us will be fellow sonic voyeurs The Good Minus. It's free, and the sounds takes you somewhere pubic transport never could.

Goods

All's well in CP Experiment land. We've been working on some new tunes, and also thinking about recording. However, we are also well aware that thinking about recording and actual recording are not the same thing. It's a start, though.

In the meantime, our next gig will be on Thursday April 19th at The Retreat Hotel with support from The Good Minus. Come along to that one and taste the Maj7 chords.

Poetry

Things keep rolling on. We've got more shows in the near future, and we've been working on new tunes too.

Saturday February 3rd @ The Union Hotel, Brunswick. Two sets from 9:00pm.
Saturday February 17th @ Coburg RSL Family and Members Day. Two sets from 4:30pm.
Saturday February 17th @ Drunken Poet, North Melbourne. Two sets from 9:00pm.
Saturday March 3rd @ The Labour in Vain, Fitzroy. Two sets from 8:00pm.

Looks like we love playing two sets. It means more music, so what's not to love?
