Whats New

Hello from Kasey

2nd December, 2008

Hey everyone,

Well all is going great here. Have not been too busy at all (work-wise) at the moment, which has been great for a change this year. Have gotten to spend some real quality time with my boys at home like a normal mum. We had an awesome time in America a couple of months ago – did some great gigs all over the place – had to cancel Austin because of Hurricane Ike shutting down some airports which was disappointing – Austin is one of my fave places ever! But the highlight of the trip for us was definitely the gig in Washington DC – the perfect crowd, the perfect venue, the perfect sound – loved it! We were also lucky to have Justin Townes Earle opening for us. Son of the great Steve Earle, Justin is different to Steve but just as good. The real deal and one of the most enjoyable artists I’ve ever heard.

 We were also lucky enough to go to Auckland N.Z. for a few days and had a really good trip. Awesome people came out to the show – real music lovers and great food over there.

 Since then I have been mostly hanging at home with my family, which has been lovely. Talon (6 and a half) is still loving school and has been rehearsing hard for his end of year school performance, which I am looking forward to (he won’t tell me anything about it – big surprise). Arlo (16 months) is going really well – keeps Shane and I very busy and constantly making us laugh. He is definitely a daddy’s boy, though. Only ever says “Dada” and never “Mum” anymore – and Shane gets more cuddles than I do!

Shane has a great new solo album out. It’s called ‘Familiar Ghosts’. He made it in our garage, and he wrote, produced, engineered and played every single instrument himself, so make sure ya go grab it.

Already counting down for Tamworth – we look forward to it every year but even more this time because we will have plenty of free time this year to go out and see as many artists play as we can – can’t wait!

 See ya all somewhere…

 -       maybe at Homebake,

-       maybe in W.A. between Christmas and New Year,

-       maybe just wandering down the street or in the grocery store.
