Hey all,
 
Since I'm becoming a lot more active in the forums lately, I figured I'd post a few songs here as well.
 
So, my good friend (and terrifyingly great guitarist) Chris Brooks was chatting to me one day about doing a collaboration. "Something really 80s, totally cheesy, big polysynths, lots of solos." Sounded like a good idea to me! I do suspect I got a bit carried away with the cheesy thing, however, and took him a little too literally when I made the clip:

(Obviously very tongue in cheek.  )
 
All entirely done in SPlat, Addictive Drums 2. Chris was using a Kemper for his tone, I was using Pod Farm 2.0 for mine.
 
Anyway, hope you guys dig it.

Dude, that's badass.
 
Sound and video production are, well, awesome.

Massive well played guitar...yeah, this is 80s all the way. Danny would probably dig this one a lot. No nits here. You kinda went for cheesy in the vid and I think you accomplished that, but it still has a great visual appeal to the music!
 
Nice work on the whole thing!

Other than the actual cheese flying around... I didn't find this cheesy at all.
Nice playing!
Guitars sounded very good.

You guys are pretty fast with your fingers!  And your wit. ;)  Awesome good fun!  Loved the MacGyver cameo too, hehe.  And the cheese!

Cheers, guys! Much appreciated!

I still roll my eyes at the Mullet section - so dumb! HAHA!

If you do enjoy great guitar playing, make sure you have a look out for Chris Brooks though. He's more of a fusion player normally, and I have to tell you, playing a guest solo on his last album alongside Brett Garsed was pretty terrifying...!

I was blown away
 
I didn't notice any cheese 
 
does that make me a bad person?
 
Guess I'll have to get rid of my mullet...
 
Do you ever get to the UK? I'd come to see you any day of the week

Keep the Mullet, they're awesome! HAHA!

We haven't made it to the UK yet - there's been a few near misses but the money has always ended up being funneled to other things (we run our own label and I look after all of our video and audio production so we basically self-fund everything). We're doing an Australian tour in a month or so and gearing up for the USA and likely Asia again next year. With any luck, we can finally add some UK dates onto that as well. :)
