We’re back from our
overseas trips for another year!
Here’s
what we’ve been up to….....
Australian Independent Country Music Awards
We had barely been home a week before we headed off to the Australian
Independent Country Music Awards in Mildura.
And guess what?
We WON!
~ 2009 Australian Independent Group/Duo ~
~ 2009 Australian Independent Album of the Year ~
~ 2009 Australian Independent Artist of the Year ~
What an amazing night. We have
only ever been a finalist in one category once before at these awards so to win
three was unbelievable! A big thank you to everyone who sent us congratulatory emails and
sms’s, it was very much appreciated. It
just goes to show that good news definitely travels fast! As you can see, Simon was not there on the night as he was still in Germany. But
he was definitely there in spirit!
France / Switzerland
/ Germany
After playing at the Gympie Muster, we jumped back on a plane and
headed over to Europe for another 3 week
tour. Although there were many long hours
driving in the van (luckily no flat tyres this time!), we made some great
friends, saw the most beautiful places, and played concerts to great audiences
- with some even turning into die hard fans, many of them travelling from
country to country to come to our shows 4 times over! We thought they were mad, but we now think
they may have caught the Australian music bug!

With our amazing Swizz agent Irene
For some of our trip we stayed at a place called the Sheep Farm,
nestled amongst the Swiss hills, overlooking Lake Luzerne. Judging by the photos, you can tell our
job is pretty hard and tedious at times

New Single Released
What song do we
follow up the massive success of our last single Million Miles with? It didn’t take us long to decide what the
next single would be; it was unanimous. The
song has received some amazing feedback since the release of the album in
April, and it has also been a favorite of ours and audiences at our live shows;
but most of all, it tells a great story.
It is
World Keeps Turning
Featuring the Australian Children’s Choir
The song was written about a friend of Simon’s whose father passed
away one day when he was at school. At
the time, he confided of his struggle to comprehend how the world continued to
go on as if nothing has happened, while his world had fallen apart.
World Keeps Turning is at radio now.....
