Hi Everyone,

I've just got a quick update for you before I head off to Sydney for my gig tonight.

We're settling in nicely here on the Central Coast, and what great views! I better be careful or I might get used to it and never want to leave!

I'm still writing songs all the time (working on them, at least) and I'm very happy with some of them. I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens with my music in the future, and where I take it all!

If you've sent any emails to this address (info@katiebrianna.com) recently, you may have found they've bounced back to you or similar. I've been having a little bit of a problem with it and hope to have it sorted out soon. Meanwhile, you can write to my other address: katiebrianna@hotmail.com.

About that gig tonight… it's at a little place called 'Bar Me' in Kings Cross. It features Jack Jaffe, Coby Grant and myself, so there's a bit of a mix in there which should make for an interesting show. All the details are below but contact the venue for more info. Please come if you're anywhere in the area!

P.S- Happy Birthday Rachel!

So I was bored, and bored with my previous myspace 'look', and decided to get another one. I like this one the best. The background is actually... fabric.
I'm starting to get (a little) excited about the move! 5.. or 6 days! My own kitchen again... for Alex to cook in! Yay!

Hi Everyone!

Remember that rollercoaster I mentioned? Well… I'm still on it! Though, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Something about this particular rollercoaster has changed. I now know where it's going! I'm sure about where I'm going to be living now... where I will call home. No prizes for guessing… the Central Coast! Yep! If you can't beat em', join em'! ;-)

Now, about the songs! I truly believe my relationship with 'writer's block' is over! (For now) I didn't like it, and it didn't like me! I've been working on some songs which I think really see me moving forward as a songwriter. Writing is something that really makes me content. Whether that means I'm feeling happy or sad, it doesn't matter. Contentment to me is so much more than 'just' an emotion. It's something I've been missing for a long time! Not now the songs are back!

Shortly I will be making the move to 'Hillbilly Heaven' (do they still call it that??), so I suppose you won't be hearing from me until I'm all settled in my new home. Let's just hope this one sticks.

I've got a few more gigs coming up (check the gig guide) so as I always request, please, please come if you can make it!

See you somewhere soon!

P.S: I just finished another song!

P.P.S: I like grammar… and punctuation, even though I sometimes get it wrong and I tend to go a little overboard!!!!! :-)

So I saw Ron Sexsmith the other night.............................amazing! I’d seen him once before but that was a little while ago. This time was better cause I knew pretty much all of the songs.. almost. We (Alex & I) arrived in time to see the support.. um ah .. Seen her before. Connections are a mystifying and magical thing.

Well anyway, RON was great! Had a nifty little band which were not too loud and it was all about Ron.. they were cool. Ron is one of my faves! He is one of the best songwriters ever! EVER! Alex SWEARS (alot) that he sighted Carl Barron.. It took me a while to believe him. Still not sure though. Carl is cool too!

Well, off to bed. I’m tired.

Hello!

These past few months have been somewhat like a rollercoaster for me…

How ya doin? I'm doin fine! 

It is currently storming and raining in buckets and doesn't look like it's going to let up anytime soon… so the weather is STILL terrible. It's all over the place and because of this weather (It IS summer, isn't it?) I've only been for one swim! ONE! I might have to resort to snorkelling in the bath! 

These past few months have been like a rollercoaster for me…

After moving back home to Newcastle, things became settled for a while… I had my steak-house job (no longer) and it was all pretty easy. 

My plans though, grew all over the place, due to circumstances out of my control. Staying in Newcastle, or moving to the Central Coast? Oh no, wait, back to the mountains. Oh no, sorry, not going back now… going to Central Coast. Am I sure? No. I don't want to speak too soon! Unstable and unsteady… all this has been a good thing I guess because at least I got a song out of it.

I WROTE A SONG!!! 

Still, these past few months have been like a rollercoaster for me…

Tamworth was fun… I made an 'exclusive' appearance and joined Karl Broadie on stage for a song. Other than that I had fun just hangin' out and going to watch other people play and catching up with everyone! 

Right now I'm working a temp job (thanks Sheri). Money is always helpful! This temp job, however, led to me getting attacked by a pack of ferocious ants! I could hardly walk for an hour… until I found some Stingoes.  

Well, that's about it really, just wanted to let you know how the ride was going. 

Please come if you can make it to this gig! You'll get to hear my new song!

Saturday 1^st  March 2008
Mittagong RSL Club
Pioneer St, Mittagong NSW
8:15pm – 11:30pm
 

Take care

I realised something today... there's not too much useful info on the internet that I can find about ants! I got bitten today by big mean red and black ants! (Bully I guess) But I still couldn't find much that somone who didn't finish school (hehe) could understand! One thing I learned from this experience.. don't stand in the one place too long when there's ants around. Another thing.. LOOK to see if there are ants around. I got stung by 2 ants I think. Crawled right up my pants and stung me about 10 times!! No not really.. more like 6 or 7! An hour later (with no stingoes!) It was still stinging like heck! Oh well... now I know!

 Hello!

Well, first things first. As I usually start my updates with apologies for not writing more frequently… I'll get that out of the way. Sorry about that, but believe me, I have MANY good excuses. None of them really include being busy.

 

Another apology. To anyone and everyone I have lost contact with over the past few years and mainly this past year… I'm really sorry. It was not on purpose and I am now doing my best to try get back in contact,  but I have basically been hiding deep in a cave.

 

From my first update to my last… There is a reason why there are none in between even though in one sense it was the craziest year of my life yet, and in another… the quietest.

 

Reading through my last update it feels like it was just yesterday, but at the same time this year has just dragged and dragged and DRAGGED! Enough of that. It's depressing and I'm sure you don't want to hear that.

 

This year I did manage to achieve a few things though. I had a job in Sydney as a secretary which I stuck at for over a month. The travel was too much in the end. Around 3 hours a day was spent catching various trains. Also, I just landed myself a job at a well known steak –house so that should keep my busy for a while!

 

Currently I am sitting back at "home" in Newcastle. My boyfriend / partner / whichever you like got a new job but because of some silly system of appeals, he may not keep it. I know he's good at what he does and he deserves this job so I hope he does keep it because it's nice being back home with something / someone to talk to other than the walls.

 

The weather here is terrible at the moment, just humid, hot days, stormy nights and rain. It is not so bad, it's just seeing as though I went and bought myself the first swimsuit I've had in quite a few years that will fit me, it'd seem a shame for that go to waste. I even bought one of those big fancy floppy black hats! All I need now is a tan to go with it, but there's no such thing as a healthy tan!! Ok, I'll admit it... I have been considering trying out one of those spray tans! Everyone's doing it!

 

I know this update seems more like a diary and it's definitely a little more personal than some but musically, I haven't been up to much. I have had a few gigs here and there but I'm still struggling on the writing front. I do know I have it in me somewhere… I'm just trying to find exactly where.

 

So…Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, whatever way you celebrate or don't celebrate, I hope you've had a good year and that next year is even better! 

 

Well, I was born a rambler. No not really, I was born quite shy but have become fond of rambling. I think it's time to wrap this up like a Christmas present! See gig guide for a couple of gigs coming up. Please come if you can make it to either of these as I would really love to see you all!

Bye for now, but not too long.

That's what I said in my last update and once again, I'm sorry it has taken me such a long time.

Bye for now, I'm not sure how long.

P.S: Might see you in Tamworth 2008, I'll be there just hanging around for a few days…
