Not Drowning Waving - Corner Hotel 25 Aug 2005

"Now that’s more like it we thought.
They were strong gigs, had a real energy
and atmosphere to it,
and it was such a buzz playing to a full crowd.
I knew we were on to something.
Something different compared to the country punk
that was the St. Kilda sound of that time.
Mind you, there was lots of improvement to be done...
My singing was a weak link,
we hadn’t mastered the technology,
we had yet to work up the bustling versions
of Storm and Sing Sing which were the cornerstones
of the NDW live gigs later on..."
