Stopping the music briefly to pose


And again


Something's funny, apparently


Could be this


All together now


And . . . . stop laughing . . . . Now.

Apologies for lowering the tone with that previous post. Tee hee.

In an attempt to undo the damage, the official website of Tom Black and the Caesars can now be found at www.tomblackandthecaesars.com.

That should raise the standards a little.

Thanks to Kate for the amazing artwork.

Enjoy.

In the studio (Part 1)

Yesterday Tom Black and the Caesars hit the PBS studios in Collingwood to lay down some tunes. It was a great day and a great experience.

Tracks will be available for download . . . but in the meantime, here's some photos.

Budge and Robb getting funky

Podge at the mixing desk. Note the Hulk Hogan doll.

Our awesome production guy Darren.

I believe I've mentioned before how rock I am. Well, here's proof.

Budge doing the beautiful guitar bit in Ciao. Just wait till you hear it.

In the mixing room. It's a little crowded.

Robb in a heartfelt moment.

Stay tuned. More photos to follow.

Back on the blog again

Wow, it's been a slack week-and-a-half. But it's a new month, and there's a new resolve to hit that blog and hit it hard. Or something.

Maybe it's just Friday and I'm feeling the weekend stretching out before me like a big stretchy weekendy thing.

It's been a hell of a week, to be honest. Kate finished up at Andorra today, and begins at KCX next Wednesday. Being headhunted after two months in the industry is pretty good.

I could go into great detail about how Kate feels about this. But then you never know who's reading, do you? And quite frankly you can ask her yourself. Or she can get her own goddamn blog.

Love ya babe.

Anyhoo, Tom Black and the Caesars (aka The Band) will be hitting the studio to lay down some tracks next weekend.

(See how I can speak the speak? I am so goddamn rock.)

As a result we've panicked and decided that our usual approach of jamming every 4-6 weeks is probably insufficient. So we practiced last weekend. We're practicing this weekend. And we'll have another one midweek.

In related news, the lagerphone was sadly damaged last week when its precarious position leaning against the balcony door resulted in a fall onto a hard surface and the snapping of the handle.

I'm not pointing fingers, but the culprits know who they are. And it's not my fault for making the lagerphone from a weak piece of pine and making the handle too thin. It's just not.

A quick trip to Bunnings last night secured the necessaries for repair, so we'll see how it goes. Better be good. After all, there's a record to be made.

Naturally, recordings of the band will be available where all good pirate rock is sold.

Which for the moment will be just at our gigs.
