17.01.2022 I can't believe it's been so long! But, at last, our Random Songs in Random Places continues with more from my trip to WA in late 2018. And this one is a very special random place - in fact it's not random at all, I've been planning to visit the Principality of Hutt River ever since reading about it as a teenager. I was fortunate enough to meet the founder, Prince Leonard, just a few months before he passed away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey9Liosr1G8 ps the blue filter is how the room actually looks, with lovely blue stained glass.
17.01.2022 now this is the sort of sleigh ride I'm looking for... This Saturday, the Zero Point at the American Hotel in Echuca!
17.01.2022 Scott and Rex are on stage at Camp Reserve at 5pm this afternoon to help welcome the runners :) bring a jumper, it's chilly!
16.01.2022 Much like the cassette player your Dad had when he was a kid and passed down to you whether you wanted it or not, The Zero Point capture a certain magic of a ti...me not too far back; Nostalgic yet still so 'Now'! The Zero Point stand ready to sweat and grind away at the crucible of their instruments to craft danceable beats and melody to coax sense memories of experiences embedded in your genes ( and Jeans :P ) Catch us as we once again return to our favourite party town ever, Echuca, for two more nights of high energy covers that are certain to get you tapping toe and booty shookin'. Saturday at The American and Sunday at The Gypsy. All free and all dance!
14.01.2022 It's been an intense 2019 here at the House of Andersen - relocating, recording heaps, building a new home... we've been a bit quiet on the public front while keeping the home fires (and pyres) burning... You've been very patient, and we love you so much for it that we've got a special preview for you of a new project with Scott Sanders and Rex Watts launching locally on Fri 19 July at the Taproom [stay tuned for details]. Here's a live studio recording of one of Scott's so...ngs, Every Bullet. Every Bullet by Scott Sanders Guitar / Vocal - Scott Sanders Mandolin - Rex Watts recorded live at SAE, South Melbourne by Josh D'Silva mixed and mastered by Scott and Rex
13.01.2022 25 years ago I joined a gospel choir at La Trobe Uni. One of the pieces I was given was a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of a hand-written arrangement of Amazing Grace, by this man, Tony Backhouse. Since then I've come to realise what a living legend Tony is - and it turns out he might be able to come to Castlemaine on Wed 17th March to deliver one of his renowned Gospel workshops! I'm so proud to be able to host this in my home town :D
05.01.2022 you have to imagine yourself as a professional string player sitting in front of spit instruments 6 - 9 hours a day...

02.01.2022 The town of Echuca is surely a gem astride a great river. The Zero Point is aching to rise from the smouldering ashes of their winter hibernation like a phoenix... into the steadily rising air of an Australian spring. River?.....Phoenix? RIVER PHOENIX!? And just like our young avatar of 80's style here, The Zero Point are eager to bust a move, get jiggy wit it and lay down some fresh dance rock this Saturday at The American Hotel Echuca. 10pm till late and it's free! That's almost criminal..a smooth criminal;)
