MICK THOMAS & MICHAEL BARCLAY / A HEAD FULL OF ROAD-KILL - LIVE CD & TOUR
A HEAD FULL OF ROAD-KILL (Mick Thomas with Michael Barclay Live in Germany) is done and dusted and ready to go just in time for their August and September jaunt around The UK, Holland, Germany, Denmark & China. There are a handful of signed pre-release copies available through the site now by CLICKING HERE. The good folk at Valve Records in Germany have worked hard to get it ready for release and we're pleased to announce it's an absolute cracker. There are 15 tracks in all and it sounds as sweet as can be. Quite often acoustic live things can end up sounding thin and compromised but they've really done the work on this and I guess as it was recorded in the middle of a really intense run of consecutive shows (at a proper recording studio I might ad), it is a really confident performance to match the sonic quality. It's out on Croxton in Australia and Valve everywhere else. See the tour page for all the tour dates and ticket information.

It's finally here folks and I'm excited I must say. How it works is that you have the option of two subscriptions, both yearly. We will upoad a bunch of downloadable songs, ramblings, lyrics and chordcharts, photos, video, interviews and small recording sessions etc monthly. The Yearly Subscription is $35 and then there is a Gold Subscription which is $100, which will bring you all of the above, plus at the end of the year, a full three CD gatefold edition of the year's work in full uncompressed WAV form (basically the same as a normal commercial CD) with a properly bound colour booklet and a full colour collage poster of the year's releases. If you choose to sign up, we will send you out a link and a password and you can then access the month's club page. We see it as a great way to get some dusty (yet worthy) bits and pieces out into the light as well as a heap of new stuff. Please check out our free sample trial page to get an idea of what you will receive..

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO
CAME TO THE TOTE LAST WEEKEND
TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR
THE CAMBODIAN KIDS FOUNDATION
A sincere thank you to everyone who braved the wild wintery weather last weekend and made it down to the Tote for a fine evening of music with Nick Barker, James McCann, Dead River Deeps and myself & Michael Barclay. Money raised went to the Cambodian Kids Foundation, a wonderful bunch of people who are tirelessly raising money to help build better conditions and educational facilities in Cambodia. You can find out about more at www.cambodiankidsfoundation.com. Below is a letter of thanks from Synoeun, one of the teenagers living in Phnom Penh to say thank you for the benefit gig..

Dear Bands,

Today I am very excited to write this message to Generous Music Band. I've heard that you are going to play music to do fundraising to support Cambodian kids like us. I am very appreciated to see you all are working very hard to save us. I know that you want to see something can change our life and our future.

I have met a lot of trouble in my family and my study. I use to stop school, work in factory and used to be a cake seller on the street when I was young. It was the time to have lunch but no any money in my parents' pocket and no food to eat.. I was very hungry, very sad and very painful. I work very hard but still have not enough food to eat sometime.

I don't know how excited am I to get to know you all. Your heart is very big and it's full by love and kindness. There are many thing has been changing step by step because of you. Cambodian kids will a get a brilliant future because of their hard working and yours.

I would like to say thank you so much for your volunteering and support. We can go to school, have food and stay in a better place. We will use our knowledge and skill to help our self and the other to improve. I will keep doing my best to study and work. I do believe that you will see something new about Cambodian kids in the shortly future. It's Awesome. Thanks so much, Synoeun
