Join me today after 1pm where my special guest will be Matthew Myerscough from Sydney Band The Skolars.

Matthew will share some his experiences and stories about the independent music scene in Sydney during the 80s and 90s and the upcoming release of one the bands members David Seaside's CD Beyond the Cow's Mouth (Selected recordings 2009 - 2011).

https://youtu.be/tA6blJpM0bo

"Dave Seaside was a uniquely talented Australian singer/songwriter who didn’t get the recognition he deserved in his lifetime. “Beyond the Cow’s Mouth” is an attempt to redress this. It compiles 17 tracks originally recorded between 2009 and 2011 newly remastered with subtle musical enhancements and additional orchestration by Fabian Byrne.

Dave was a trained chef, bush regenerator who loved the outdoors - the ocean in particular - and believed in education for its own sake. But his main passion was music. His early music career was centred around Sydney’s 80s pub rock scene, initially with his brother Tim in surf-rock outfit The Snorkels before he joined The Skolars. He was a key member of that band for several years and co-wrote what might be their best-known song “Where is She”. Later he toured with Rabbit’s Wedding before shifting his attention to acoustic-based music.

Never comfortable with the mainstream music industry Dave performed when he got the chance at parties, cafés, bars and the occasional folk festival. Widely travelled both in Australia and overseas he found a special affinity with India. On one trip he made the trek to Gaumukh Tapovan in Northern India, a source of the River Ganges known as “The Cow’s Mouth”. He chose this as the title of his sole full-length solo album. All eleven songs from the album are included on this compilation. A number of Dave’s photographs from the trip are also featured in the CD’s packaging and references to India crop up in several songs.
Dave never stopped writing songs and with the assistance of Andy Hart (‘Wompy’) among others was able to record many of them.

While all are centred on his voice and acoustic guitar some are augmented by other musicians notably cellist Lisa Cameron.
In his later years, Dave played regularly at the Artichoke Café in Manly where he built up a dedicated following, met and performed with fellow musicians and formed a close friendship with the Artichoke’s co-owner Ric Abel. It seems only fitting that professional artist Ric has been able to provide the cover art for the CD as well as liner notes."

Vocals, guitars, keys, harmonica and percussion: Dave Seaside
Bass & percussion: Dave Highett
Bass & Thumb Piano: Wompy
Cello: Lisa Cameron

In honour of Dave and his music Matthew along with some amazing performers including Sunny Blayney (The Brights), Madeleine Chase (Skolars) Joshua Morris (The Electorate, Atticus), Tim Seeney (The Snorkels, The Swinging Tees), Paul Watling (Dusken Lights, Rabbits Wedding) will be performing songs from the CD at the Gasoline Pony in Marrickville on Sunday February 11 5pm - 8pm.

After the unexpected loss of his dog, Wolfgang, Steve Greig decided he had to do something to make Wolfgang’s loss feel purposeful. “I went to a shelter and said, ‘Give me the oldest dog you have,’ ” Greig said. It turned out to be a 12-year-old Chihuahua with four bad knees and a heart murmur, a dead-ender if there ever was one—he named him Eeyore. Since then, he estimates he has taken in 19 senior canines.

"The novel that would seem inherently unstageable is, Flack says, alive with an irrepressible theatricality."

“The unstageability is one of the things that attracted me to [THE MASTER & MARGARITA],” he says. “(Bulgakov) wrote compulsively, a kind of private, subversive theatre in the form of a novel. There is theatre in the book in a literal sense, but also I think of Woland’s gang, who are more like a roving troupe of mad clowns than they are devils. Part of the joke of the book is that theatre does come back to Moscow in the form of the Devil’s gang at a time when theatre had been suppressed into such obedience, such servility and abasement. There’s that force of chaos inside it...”
