DIamond Field Radio Show - Berlin Special
I'll be presenting a radio special on the '80s band Berlin, this Saturday March 12, on Radio Pure Gently (home of Synthetix Sundays). The show starts at 10pm UK / 5pm US (EST) and features an in-depth interview with Berlin's David Diamond. David was Berlin's synth player from 1982-1984 and appeared on the "Pleasure Victim" and "Love Life" albums. He also co-wrote Berlin's breakthrough hit 'Sex (I'm A...)' with Terri Nunn and John Crawford. He'll be talking about synths, recording and touring during his time in Berlin. The show will be a comprehensive overview of the band's history with lots of Berlin tunes including some rarities, 12" versions and live recordings. See you there!

My Friend The Chocolate Cake
A few images from the My Friend the Chocolate Cake May 28th show in Melbourne at the Arts Centre.
The merchandise table was very busy with the band signing copies of their albums and MFTCC t-shirts and tea towels (designed by me) flying out the door! The tea towel won-out on the night as the most popular item.

Greg Fleming and The Trains Live Show Last Night
Played a great live show with Greg Fleming and The Trains and Don McGlashan at The Whiskey Live last night. The show was sold out.
The Whiskey Live runs over the entire month of May featuring the cream of New Zealand's artists and bands.
A very small bar means the audience has a chance to get up close to the artists.
The Trains played a stripped-back acoustic set featuring songs from the forthcoming album Edge of the City.
John and Dom from The Trains also played with Don McGlashan (being members of Don's Seven Sisters band).
