In 2007 I joined up with a Melbourne band called Black Seas as bass player. It was nice to sit back and just be part of the group, rather than running everything myself. I wouldn’t usually play bass, but singer (and oh what a singer) Darn Thorn and drummer Paul Angas were mates, and it was a good opportunity to work with two musicians I liked and admired (both these guys appear on the first Gathering Tide LP) –
My growing commitments of both Zeptepi and my children meant I sadly had to knock it on the head after a year, but we cut a couple of fantastic tracks at Birdland Studios in Melbourne which I still really enjoy…
