25.01.2022 One of these men rode up kunanyi (and back down) a lazy ten times yesterday. The other is pretty good looking. Both of them are/were on @abchobart today talking about themselves. Lovely to meet you @nearle88 I hope some fitness was absorbed by osmosis. Tune into afternoons with @helenshield , I'll be on at 3.30 being a dag and playing some songs and talking about Saturday night's show at @republicbarcafe with @meres.music and also my burgeoning cycling career cc @ben_lawless

23.01.2022 SPRING! Hobes have you got your tickets to this? I would love to see you.
23.01.2022 Hello. Here's a really special compilation of tunes recorded over a couple of nights at The Junk Bar last year with my The Gin Club boon companions Bridget Lewis, Ola Karlsson and Conor Macdonald aka Captain Fighting Machine. I have made it free for patrons of my Patreon. If you're a fan of my stuff please consider joining. It's the single best way to suppory what I do and it represents ridiculous value for money. For $4USD a month (or pay what you like) you get live streamin...g concerts, discounts, new songs, old songs, demos, live sets etc etc. And you get access to all the previous posts (3 years worth) straight away. The set list was hand picked by my very old friend and bootlegger par excellence Trader Zac and you can really feel the atmosphere of the crowd and the performance. It's magic. I even sprung the then very new tune "Untitled" on Ola and Bridget and they turned in a really special performance. Bunch of GC tunes in there as well. The track list is: The Stars My Destination Isolationism Boat Dreams Back Yourself Untitled I Gotta Move Gas Guzzler (The Gin Club) West End Girls The Cat End Of Days Ten Paces Away (The Gin Club) (with Conor Macdonald) Parrot Day You, Me & The Sea (The Gin Club) (with Conor Macdonald) Once In A Lifetime My patrons are just the best, they have kept me afloat during the pandemic and have ushered in a whole new era of spont creativity and love. Three albums and counting released this year! Come and be a part of it. Join up and have a listen.

22.01.2022 Just mailed out about 100 of these to my most excellent pre order people. I've done 300 of them with the catalogue number BPS666 to be tough, plus the title of the record has an extra "THE". So there are 200 left. Go! PS no guarantees my undergraduate doodling will make it for the remaining 200 but I'll give it a crack. Wait till 5pm then go to here and buy all the things ta https://bensaltermusic.bandcamp.com//summer-of-the-loud-bi

09.01.2022 A SECRET REPORT WITHIN THE GUILD: TL:DR - please join my mailing list, I want to leave this place. Click the "Sign Up" button on my FB page or visit www.bensalter.com.au... Here are some photos of me at various stages of development (me not the photos). It's hard to believe Katy Perry has been with us for so long. ***REDACTED*** I've never actually witnessed the kookaburra rapping on the glass. I just hear a thwack, and when I go out to investigate there it is sat on the railing of the verandah. Some have speculated it's attacking its reflection but I think it is just trying to connect. ***REDACTED*** The other thing you could do if you are really keen is join my Patreon. For as much or as little as you want. It's keeping me going www.patreon.com/ben_salter_music Still reading? Hello, thank you. XX Salty

01.01.2022 HEY I know there's a lot happening at the moment and none of this stuff is really that important. But it's my job and this wretched platform is what I got to work with. So I must do what I must. So: HEY it's Bandcamp Fee Free Friday again TODAY from 5pm AEST! For 24 hours! That means there will never be a better time to grab yourself a copy of my latest album "Summer Of The Loud Birds" **LIMITED EDITION 'THE THE' VERSION** or my previous album "The Mythic Plane" or pre order my latest live album "Live In Japan" or ANY OF THE OTHER THINGS on VINYL or CD or by DIGITS.
