about

Four more songs about travel, adventure, happiness, heartache, life, death, drinking and brief encounters with odd people speaking in strange accents of an undetermined origin.
This EP could be considered my Vietnam release as the four songs all have strong connections to my second home.
The lyrics of the first song were originally written on the back of a bar tab whilst sitting alone after a long night in a Saigon drinking establishment. The second was co-written with a Vietnamese friend of mine. The third is about the life of Australian, Vietnam War-era, news-cameraman, Neil Davis. And finally, the last tune was written and recorded in Vietnam with the Saigon line-up of the Coolites.

It’s a journey but way cheaper than an air ticket.
