so........ it's been so long. so very very long...... i lost my computer in the divorce so apologies for my absence... but just wanted to thank all those who have come along to shows in the last couple of weeks... to be honest I had been pretty deflated about all things epicure prior to the tour but I've been uncharacteristically bouyant of late....due, in no small part  to seeing some of your smiling faces again. so thanks! oh and epicure didn't really die in a plane crash. just to clear that up. thanks to those of you who took it in good humor as it was intended.... so anyways... hope to see some more of you in ararat, brisbane, adelaide and b town... please check out the clip dom put together for sick hearts... i think it's ace. oh and the sick hearts parade tour ep is up on itunes for anyone unable to get to a show to pick up a copy...

hiya...

just wanted to say thankyou soooooo much to everyone who made it down to NSC on tuesday night to hear us play the goodbye girl... the crowd was great and really nice... I gotta admit I haven't been enjoying shows for a while now but I had a great time on tuesday... having dan back playing with us made me happier than I've been in a long time. So I guess if any of you are around please come along again this tuesday to hear Main St... this whole process of playing the old albums from start to finish has been really sentimental for me... I can remember falling in love when we were writing goodbye girl... just like I can remember it ending as we were rolling out main st... been living through it all again playing those songs... its funny how those albums will always represent very specific moments in time for me... hopefully it does for some of you as well... if they do it'd be nice to hear what was going on in your lives when they came out... feel free to share.

hope to see ya tuesday

hi guys,
just a quick note to let you know tix are on sale for the northcote social club shows in May... please, please, please go buy one. i'm really looking forward to these shows, they'll be great. the next single from postcards will be 'one last chance to reach you'... we'll be giving away copies at the nsc shows and we'll post the song here shortly... hope you like it! I've been trying to write lately, but it's weird... feels like the well is dry... and it's weird cos I've been totally miserable and that's usually when I write the most... there's a few new songs around like 'everything after you', 'bodies', 'ambulance'... but they're as upbeat as they sound and suck. how do you write happy songs? really wish I could write a happy song for once... anyway... I ramble. hope to see you at the espy tomorrow night... hopefully I'll see myself there too..

Hey ya'll,

So we've been keeping really busy over the festive season with gigs supporting our good mates @ Gomez as well as shows in Canberra & the Blue Mountains.
This weekend we will be down @ the Lorne Hotel in Lorne. It will be another great show with everyone on board!! It's not far from Melbourne-town and we'd love to see all the regulars out and about in Lorne.

Have a good one.

cheers!!

I just wrote a song about feeling nothing and wishing i felt nothing. it seems nothing stays the same anymore, just the feeling and ticking in my brain. so if you came along to a show on the last tour thanks. and if you've jumped ship recently then who could blame you? there's salvation at the bottom of the sea and anchors and mermaids and old friends and lovers. this is my space so I'm taking it back. remember how we used to be and how we'll never be again. i look at the pavement, not the horizon (thanks brother).

merry christmas

hiya...

well, we're about half way through mixing the album at the moment and it's sounding fantastic... a much bigger sound than we've had before... sounds more urgent, more blood smeared on the walls... much more dynamic than our other albums, louder and faster and then at the same time gentler... like ghosts conversing on a runway. Anyway, Heath is putting the artwork together at the moment from some beautiful paintings Tim has done, and we're starting to think about which song will be the first single... early candidates are 'snakes and foxes' and 'empire in decline' but we'll wait till they're all mixed before we decide... just wondering if we can release snakes & foxes after cobra kisses... wouldn't wanna sound one dimensional would we?

that's it for now... hope to see some of you at the east brunswick club show... oh and I'm doing a solo show supporting a friend of mine Dave Anderson on saturday night.. he's launching his great new album at Fix Bar, Docklands...
