Happy new year! Well I made it through in one piece. I'm taking a break from full-time web design to do more music, and its working out just great! Recently I've been working with SJD on a live act that will feature two drumkits, and also, Harris, a sax player and friend from way back when I had a funk band called Jungle Fungus. I'm also working on a solo project called Tomachi with drums and rhodes. As it transpired, my ex-employer Advantage Group really was too large and ill-communicated to figure out where its value was and so the board of directors pushed down a "trim the tree" directive to my boss - still though I had a great time working there. So if you know of any good web page production jobs let me know - I'm highly proficient in Photoshop, HTML, Javascript, and Flash. The good part is that now I can do lots of music and hope to have my solo album out this year, I'm do pre-production recordings at the moment, some of which will make it through to the final cut.

Last night I saw One Million Dollars at Galatos - these guys are a live funk and soul band - good to see more of this stuff around town I say. Friday sees the Big Day Out, of which I'm looking forward to seeing Jurassic 5. Then comes Groove Armada - yes I've heard they might be coming, I might be playing support for them too (with SJD) unconfirmed.
