as if he doesn’t have enough choirs, stephen has started a new one. it’s called BIGMOUTH, and it meets in Northcote on a Tuesday night. This group is going to be characterised by being big, by having mouths, and by singing hopefully awesome arrangements of modern-ish songs, sometimes with a band. it’s kind of, um, full....but if you want to bust in or join the waiting list email me at the address to the right. we have about 80 on the books right now.

spooky men just got their music used on a beer commercial in NZ. we were delighted, because we think they get spooky even better than we do.

                       

My Melbourne lunaticos men in suits also filmed this, which is us rehearsing for our new role as the compassionate face of melbourne public transport:
