I've been experimenting with writing instrumentals in 5 - 4 time for years, this is the first time I ever got the lyrics to fit properly. Not only do they fit, they're scathing...

In New Zealand we have a major problem with gambeling addiction. It destroys lives and blows families apart and nothing's being done to stop it. We have a small casino in every bar and while the companies that run the machines give some of their…

From a series of effected guitar pieces arranged round a Sci-Fi theme.

Idea for a Circus themed series of tunes. Bring in the clowns.

Just a groovy instrumental. Dig it!

This song speaks for itself, from a real life experience just prior to making the album. Sung by Petrina Mclachlan

This is me in 'funk story rant' mode. Guitars by Damien Taylor

A song about the need to take a break, look at life objectively, and correct only where nescessary. Sung by Petrina Mclachlan

I've had this song kicking around for ages. I wrote it for a songwriting competition in 2001 and never managed to get a decent recording of it till now. Due to it's subject matter I couldn't just let it go, you'll see why. The vocals were done…

The song that really kicked off this second album of 2009. "In time all the stars will fade away Our kind won't get to see it anyway No shine, just endless black between the gray I won't be going out in that way"

I used to cross over railway tracks on my way to the ballfield in college, and though I never knew why, I was always tempted to just start following them.

Written for my youngest when she was very little, almost everyone who's had a kid that just would rather not sleep can identify with this song. Originally, there was a line in there about "Staying up this late at night makes me consider drinking…

To get ready for every baseball season, my father used to pitch tennis balls to me in the backyard. He had invented a pitch that defied the laws of physics. To this day, I have no idea how he threw it. The damn thing would spin like crazy like…
