Bec Taylor & The Lyrebirds

Second single from the forthcoming album released this Friday (23/4/21)  
Here's the first single released a couple of months ago  You can watch the video HERE 
The first time I met up with Bec was down at The Bendigo Hotel in Collingwood when Glitoris were playing there. Bec was drumming that night and I went down with my ex-wife as she is our future daughter in law. Unfortunately the Coronavirus lockdown put the kibosh on the original planned date for the wedding, but having met her (and all her family) I have to say that my son is one lucky guy who should enrol HERE

Well that was a great gig last night. I mean Andrew asking for the bass to be turned up (with the resulting trouser flapping around the ankles!) A cover of Temptation and a syn drum solo from Wes! What more could you ask for?
More BC gigs / live tracks I've recorded (that have been tweaked by Andrew from the band can be found...)

HA!

Who can sell a Wonder Woman NFT? The guy who drew her or DC Comics?

I paint in watercolor because it scares me. I love its quirky unpredictability. I love the twinge of anxiety I feel every time I put down a color, knowing that I've often only got one shot to get it right. Piggybacking on my Instagram addiction, I paint from my own photographic reference material. I typically pick my subjects based on perceived level of difficulty; if it's something that I’m not sure I can successfully reproduce in watercolor, then that's the one I want to paint next. I am a control freak, and it's this combination of subject matter and medium that make for an overachieving, perfectionist’s dream, providing just enough of a challenge to make the whole process a tension-filled whirlwind of creative excitement. I start painting first thing in the morning, and the next thing I know it's mid afternoon. Hours have gone by, but to me, no time has passed. My anxieties about everyday trivialities simply fade away and I'm transported to a place where nothing else matters but light and shadow and color… and it is SO GOOD. So that's where I'm at right now. Welcome to my encore
