The Understudy
I seem to be blogging…Hows about some shows? Huh?
Friends! The winter froze me in, alas, but now I’m thawed. Songs are slowly trickly out. Social media updates await. Shows are waiting to be played.
Here is one:
14th Jan @ Raval (Lvl One, Macquarie Hotel)
$12, 8pm, it’s in Surry Hills if you didn’t know.
I’m not going to make any promises about how often I intend to do this, but I want you to know that I miss you all very much.

belgrave. peh.
I believe Chris already posted this on the New Neighbors blog. It happened in Belgrave. Also what happened was the shifty owner of the Italian restaurant there spilled white sauce on my jacket. Look, it probably wasn’t deliberate, but …
don’t ever call it radelaide again…
I do actually like Adelaide. It is quaint, and crisp, and has many streets named the same name. It isn’t rad though, and so Radelaide is probably a misnomer. All the same, the Wheatsheaf was grand. Mike from Aviator Lane was possibly the hostiest host I’ve ever encountered. And he gave us t-shirts.
tour update (post temporal mid-point) – bne, ntl, syd, cbr
The spurious nature of using airport codes to indicate which Australian cities I’ve visited by tour van has not escaped me. It’s been too long since I’ve updated this blog–let’s call it a hibernation. And now a game: cities in five words or less.
Brisbane – Twenty-five is not too old.
Newcastle – Old friends bring new dress.
Sydney – New friends make fake snow.
Canberra – Hotel bathroom sans smoke alarms.
Stay tuned for Melbourne and Adelaide updates, plus (maybe) a live mp3.
melbs. all right!
Melbourne is cold and confusing. Last night I slept on a hole in the floor covered by sagging carpet. Met new friends, Fern and Strawberry. I’m not sure whether it is better to pretend to be shocked by this or not. Shows coming up at Old Bar, Espy and Ruby’s Lounge. x Lu
live review snippet from fasterlouder
“Juxtaposing New York (where Lucy lived in 2007) anti-folk with more traditional whimsical indie-pop, Lucy’s exemplary vocal range is the true star of the show, with both full-on Kate Miller-Heidke shrieks and delicate sighs used to glorious effect”

East Coast Tour Begins Saturday!
Friends & neighbours,
This Saturday I, along with Pegs, Alex and Jamieson (and the rest of A Disappointing Fireworks Display), will jump in a car and drive about six hours to Canberra for the first show of our East Coast tour. It’s called The Gifted Gibbon Tour, which was a joke (not very funny) Alex made that somehow ended up on our posters. We like it though.
Check back from Saturday for daily photo posts from the first leg of the tour.

I found this in the back of my good friend Shanna’s (from birds&belles) camping renovated Hiace. The top bubble says “Infinite Power” and the bottom bubble “Build Your Own Stunt”. Now try stopping me!
