The Understudy
I seem to be blogging…Archive for Exciting Discoveries

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!
Listen to ABC1233 Interview + ‘Fine Young Folk’ live in studio
1233 interview this afternoon with Carol Duncan @ the ABC studio on Wood St in Newcastle. Carol has the best voice for radio I’ve ever heard. If I could bottle it and drink it, I would.
You can listen to the interview and an acoustic version of ‘Fine Young Folk’ here. Pegs Adams is singing harmonies.

Afterwards it was cafe helados at Rolador. I found this on the back of the toilet door.
Sometimes I really dig science.
Things to do in Newcastle over the next week or so…
1. Georgia and Geordie’s Art Show @ The Glass Factory – Friday 05/09
Between Chris’s Discounts and The Store on Hunter St. 5:47pm. Bring hipflasks. Manifest joints.
2. Last Spring Break!! Ever – Thursday 11/09
In arguably brilliant bad taste, the last Spring Break!! ever will be 9/11 slash Twin Towers themed with only music from NYC. All the usual stuff will be present.
3. Pikelet & Kes @ Suspension – Friday 12/09
I get to play with two of my favourite Melbourne musicians at one of my favourite places in Newcastle. Also, Coffee + Couches + Courtyard. Free wine I’ve heard too. Yup!
If I’ve missed anything out that’s super rad, hit me up.
Well, I refuse to blog… that word is so ugly. If it really wanted to suck me in it would be called ‘La Mayonaisse’.
On blogs vs websites
This is both is not a massive change just a slim view of the future. I think band websites, unless they’re really special, are all but redundant. Web 2.0 = Two way communication model + constant snippets of information + ever-changing. This blog is a step towards something prettier and more regularly updated than has previously existed. It will be fresh, yo.
Things you might find here
Digital things relating to The Understudy, and friends of The Understudy: mp3s, photos, news, not-news, videos, a recipe or two perhaps… Also, things relating more broadly to music, or anything really. You can also be certain that if you want to stay up to date with things like shows and new music ala The Understudy, you can do that here.
In the mean time, listen to this song. It’s my favourite from the latest record by IY: the kids who made it possible for my album to be recorded.
Soon,
Lu xo.
