Heaps of News

Some more information that has come to light via Darren
a reader from here in Brisbane he also sent this great pic.

Just some other info if you didn't already know: David Nichols
(Blairmailer, Crabstick, Huon, Driving Past, The Cannanes)
the guy who put out the distant violins fanzines
also wrote the excellent Go-Betweens bio some years back.
He's quite the Go-Betweens fan. Think he popped up in the
recent '16 lover's lane' doco on sbs a few weeks back
(the one you posted).
ps- almost forgot, the spill label has some good free comps
if you don't already have them.

some Blairmailer/Crabstick tracks there and a cracking
Small World Experience tribute album.
Surprised you missed out on the Brisbane sound first gig,
s.w.e. were ace!

Its true to say the David Nichols thing went right over my head,
I enjoyed his input vastly more than Ben Lee's.
I must get a copy of this book.
The web site for spill-label is fantastic, there's heaps free
music there, quite a bit of it Brisbane.
I'm going to be downloading for a while.
Thanks Darren.
