Saving FBI and a live song…

Played MUM at world bar last night as part of the myriad of Save FBi gigs that have been going on lately…

On the back of another one last Monday at the Hopetoun and some spectatorial attendance at the finale at the Metro tonight, it has been great to witness the coming together of musicians and music lovers all over Sydney in what has been a hectic month of raising some moolah for the beacon of Sydney radio and arts that is FBI.

Kudos to all involved. The crowd at the gigs have been great (again, last night was joyous and we had a lot of fun being there!) and yes! To FBI and to more cultivation of the talent that exists within this fair town. Also to the venues and organisers of the shows…

Last night concluded what has been a hectic month of live shows and now we embark on a little writing session and a month’s hiatus (unless we come out acoustic style at a show or two…we’ll see). So to wrap, for now, thanks to all who have come. Can’t wait to play more shows in August…We’ll be ramping up our shows and doing a few special things which we’re keeping under wraps for now.

Here is a taste of what went down, a live version of Rolling Around a song we’ve been playing and evolving live for a while now.

This was taken from our June 3rd show with Andy Bull at Spectrum. Hope you enjoy.

26 of June - we play FBI Fundraiser at Mum - World bar! Should be a huge night for all… many acts and fbi lovn to be had
Mum and The World Bar Present
FBi Fundraiser

* The World Bar, 24 Bayswater Rd, Kings Cross, Sydney, 2011

* Friday 26th June, 8:00pm to Friday 26th June, 11:45pm

Since its inception in 2003 FBi has been an integral part of the Sydney music scene. Committing to play 50% Australian music, half of which is Sydney grown, the station has been a huge support for local bands that may not otherwise have had an outlet for airplay.

After all this support it is time to give back to that station that lives to give. FBi have been hit hard by the global financial crisis and need to raise $1 million to stay afloat. To help make this happen the Sydney music community has pooled its resources together and over the month of June will be putting on a series of fundraising gigs.

WIM, Jordy Lane, Parades, We Say Bamboulee, Waysiders, Fait Accompli, Zeahorse, Shakin Howls, Megastick Fanfare, Sherlocks Daughter, Richard In Your Mind, One Glove, The Laurels and more special guests to be announced.
