Me at one of the last shows at the Annandale Hotel. It was like an oven in there. Taken during 'Maps to help you lose your way'.

BbK playing at 'Mojo's' in Perth with Pollyanna. Glen from Pollyanna said he'd give me fifty cents for every song that I play with my mirrored aviators on. We needed the money for our return tickets back home.

Richard Coneliano, drummer, lover, and all round nice guy. At the Austral Hotel in Adelaide. 1998.

Set list from a gig way back in 1994. 'Losers are not Boring' was a song that sounded allot like 'Love is Boring', 'Sleepy Execution' is a song that hasn't seen the light of day for years.

John James's (ex-BbK guitarist) set list for the gig to the right. Notice the last song. 1994

This gig was long ago but in my dusty memory I see an awful night. I just love the name of the band that was head lining that night. We played a ten minute version of a Codeine song called 'Realise' to finish off our set about twenty minutes over time. 1994

I don't even know if I was in the band for this gig back in 1993, at the old Sydney Venue 'Vic on the Park'. 'Raymond' used to be called 'Waiting Room', 'More' was a grunge song, 'stupid girl' was a kind of slow sludge. Beautiful.

This is also from 1993, BbK played at a place called the 'Tom Tom' club in Kings Cross. We used to cover 'Sounds of Silence' from Simon and Garfunkel

Jamie at Bondi Beach Theatre, recording 'Higher up the Fire Trails'. 1996

Bluebottle Kiss, dressing up as their favourite metal band: 'Tryumph'. Some say too real. 1998

Me at the Annandale back in 1997. With Something For Kate.

What better way to finish off our photo album with another 'Tryumph' shot. Maybe it's our real calling, and we just don't know it yet!!!
