Should be a corker this Saturday (24th September) with Scattered Order at the Workers Club.
Full deets here.
Then up to the land of coal export (Newcastle) for Electrofringe where we’re a doing a workshop and then a gig. Nice to be someone’s pick.
Available now at the bandcamp or, if limited bit rate mp3s are more your thing, at the soundcloud.
Peon had a lovely time out East last week. Thanks all for promoting / attending.
Radio interview with Peter Hollo on New Weird Australia here.
Rockin’ pics of the Sando gig here.
Heading back that way for ElectroFringe on 29th September..

Much been happening in the Peon camp; nice gigs ’round town, trip to Canberra (with decent photos), Australia Council funding and a trip to Adelaide in May (dates here soon).
Alsothis.
(0)You guessed right, Peon are playing the venerated institution that is Melbourne’s Make It Up Club on Tuesday 21st September.
We’re on last up (also playing that night are David Palliser; Heilbron/Dueland/Mclean) and the fun takes place at:
Bar Open
317 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia.
8:30 PM doors
$5/10
Whilst a night of electrofolknoise funky improv sound malarkey is sure to ensue, if you come say hello, we may be inspired further still, possibly naming a composition in your honour. Possibly.
(0)Got a timely reminder via email (thanks Dan!) that I have been neglectful of this place of late.
All is well in the Sauna but here’s what’s been occurring:
‘Peon’ is the name given to the drums/multi-instrumentation/processing/improv duo I have with Ronny Ferella.
The wikipedia entry is pretty comprehensive with nuanced and historical meanings of this word in various contexts; I like nearly all of them!
Anyhow – we had our first gig last weekend, in a dungeon no less (cheers Liam and crew). We had a thoroughly good time and shall be repeating this process muchly in the coming months. We’re also slated to record in September so you can expect full album-length goodness shortly thereafter.
In the post below is ‘Until the Rain’, a new track I finished today – I like it. It’s more ambient than other stuff I’ve been making for the album so hopefully it will have its own life outside of that.
Listening to what I’ve done so far for my next solo release, a theme is emerging. I don’t think I can escape my 80′s electro/hip hop past and I’m becoming OK with that.
