It will be awsome!!!
Its been a while since Quickstix (Mick) and I did a podcast. We have an upcoming gig in August which will be the last gig* with Quick Stix in the band. I thought because of this it was a good idea to have Mick over to introduce the listeners to what has been going on in the world of Quick Stix since last time. Meanwhile I (Jimmy) am to continue with the Amazing Band and may also do some solo stuff similar to the previous gig in the idgaff. I will also be continuing to work on Caroline Towers Action Movie Rock Show We have had over 5000 downloads of the podcasts so far and that spurred us into making more an effort with this recording. The picture above shows our setup with a zoom h4n and 2 dynamic mics Jimmy and Quick Sticks and a cat. I hope you enjoy our ramblings Things that were mentioned on the show
*Any drummers reading this that are as good as Mick and think they may enjoy what I’m doing please get in contact

IDGAFF Gig Photos and commentsPosted by yukka1 in Gigs, tags: Abbotsford, IDGAFF, The fightingbelow are a few photos from the gig It was a great night. Thanks to the fighting for putting on a good show. It was my first gig with my new setup an ENGL valve Thunder amp with a second speaker – sweet! It was also the first time anyone heard my new song “Fight”. This new song is from the violent action movie project called Caroline Towers details of which can be found here. Thanks to everyone for coming along! Next gig August 12th details TBA
This video appeared on Australian TV about 3 years ago and I was inspired to write a song about them. An article about them in the Age Newspaper can be found here. My songwriting took a darker side when I was let down by the “heroes”. Some correspondence I had during this time is on their blog see here for entries on thier journal. This podcasts talks about the the league of Australian heroes and my two songs I wrote about them as well as playing the tunes at the end.

Gig Saturday 21st MayPosted by yukka1 in Gigs, tags: Blue swimmers, The fighting, the idgaffNew Gig at the IDGAFF (60 Hoddle St Abbotsford). Jimmy is very excited first gig for a bit and I love playing the IDGAFF and really looking foreword to putting on fantastic show. Also looking foreword to watch “The fighting” kick some ass.
Approx Band times Other Bands On At the IDGAFF
The Dentist was recorded in 2009 at Salt Studio and this episode is about my motivation for writing the song and our recording experience. At the end of the podcast the song is played.
The vocals on this episode was recorded at "The Estate" on a zoom H4n. This is the third recording of this the first two were too noisy (recorded at the park) there was a baby crying through the whole thing that was really loud on the recording. Condensor mics (like those on the Zoom H4n) can pickup and amplify alot of ambient noise for this reason I may be buying a new mic (probably a sure sm58).
Episode 6 is all about a tune called Drive on Amber a tune I first started working with in in my old band Fred Yukka in 2002. Since then it has gone through a few versions. Two of these versions are on the podcast together with some stories behind the tunes. The current version of the tune is not recorded but will be performed at our next gig. The first version of Drive on Amber is from the Supercool Album recorded in 2003 with Fred Yukka.

Podcast Episode 5 – Carroline TowersPosted by yukka1 in Podcast, tags: Caroline Towers, podcast
Podcast Episode 5 a bit late but I think it came out quite well. I recorded this with a my iphone with a new mic and a new Zoom H4n portable recorder. So the sound quality is much improved (although I ran out of batteries about halfway at which time the reocrding is back with the iphone). I’m also in the same place so there is not actually any heavy breathing on this. News
Most of the podcast is talking about a new project I am working on called Caroline towers more info can be found by clicking here. Below is a taster
Intro Music (Fight Fire with Fire) ”His wife and children are dead everything he loves is gone. He’s on the verge of giving up when the leader of the resistance persuades him to use the pain to avenge his family.” Outro Music (Goin’ Home) “Coming home to home cooked food, his wife and children.” |
