Black Friday.

Just because I'm not doing a gig-a-week for a while, don't expect me to disappear completely. Next weekend, on Sunday 22nd, I'll be coming to you live over wires and waves, thanks again to Fbi radio. I'll be the special guest that week on Local Fidelity, and I'll hopefully being playing a song live on the air! (Any suggestions/requests??)

According to Fbi's latest newsletter... "Madelaine Lucas' musical project, A Casual End Mile is a stunning, lo-fi affair not dissimilar to Hope Sandoval. Certainly a world away from the music her dad made as the frontman of X - one of Australia's greatest punk bands."

Hopefully those nice words convinced you to tune in - I'll be on just after 7 pm!

Also, my next show is kind of a special one. I'll be back at Bar Me on November 28th, with Jack Cowell & the Owls, and Daisy M. Tulley. Without the continuous love (and peer pressure) of Daisy and Jack, 'A Casual End Mile' would have surely remained to exist only in my bedroom, to grow dusty and dormant. I have been lucky enough to open for both these unique, inspiring acts throughout the year, and so this night will be a bit of a party.. a folk music and medieval- piano music party..

SO COME ALONG! You can make up for all the times you meant to see us this year!

Happy Friday 13th.

I feel like lying in bed all day and listening to Smog...

...or Will Oldham.. and finally finishing 'One Hundred Years of Solitude', which has to be one of the most beautiful, magical books I have ever read.

An Honest Woman... or Four

Last Wednesday,  Bar Me was seriously ladies' night. I felt very privilidged to open the "Writers that Sing" evening, and be followed by three  unique and inspiring female singer-songwriters.

It was kind of like a recital, and it should be noted that not only can Daisy M. Tulley make an incredible one- woman band thanks to her mind blowing loop pedaling skills, but she also sure can make a stage look pretty. Who else could one rely on to bring fake roses AND a flashing peacock?

In the lead up to this night, I answered agreed to answer some questions for Amelia Schmidt. Am I a girly girl or a tom boy? I still don't know. Visit Throwshapes and appreciate how I struggled to answer such questions (forgive the occasional lengthy rant, pretty please.)
