Dear friends
My new CD is here!
Over two years in the making - 'The Art of Illusion'. On this long
awaited follow-up I've fused Eastern music elements (Indian/Turkish)
with progressive hard rock.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Excerpt from 'The Rendall Wagner Band'
In generating a fusion of progressive rock and eastern music, the
Rendall Wagner Band lures the listener into a trance with the haunting
sounds of the flute alongside timeless eastern rhythms with pieces
like The Mammoth and Io. This is also how the Rendall Wagner Band
weaves its magic through songs such as Sugar Sweet, Waiting and The
Art of Illusion, mixing haunting melodies with heavy rock riffs
through the high-volume power chords of guitar, bass and drums
reminiscent of the hard rock of Led Zeppelin. In moving from the
margins to the mainstream, the Rendall Wagner Band blends eastern
sounds of Turkey, Egypt and India using the baglama, darrabuka,
harmonium and drone alongside more mainstream rock tunes through songs
such as Drawn, Embrace and Because I Love You.
As a singer/songwriter, Rendall Wagner is clearly influenced by his
Indian and Australian ancestry referenced in his lyrics that move from
a reflection on the tragedy of World War I and Vietnam to a reflection
on the destruction of humanity and the age of Kali. Meaningful lyrics
about life, love and even the music industry also form part of the
eclectic composition of Wagner's music.

ARTIST: The Bad Machines
TITLE: Telling Lies
OUT ON: FOG/MGM
RELEASE DATE: MARCH 5
LAUNCH DATE: MARCH 3 @ "The Spanish Club", Sydney City
The inter-continental duo of Michelle Margherita and Paul Scott, who are
based respectively in London and Sydney, have pieced together an album of
not-so-ordinary love songs
that stitch together noise and nuance with grinding guitars and drum-machine
beats.
Not the usual girl-vocal/boy-technology pop duo, Telling Lies is a shimmering
electro-indie-pop gem that
includes bubblegum-punk tracks like Two Heads and Kidz before simmering down
with hypnotic, minimally textured beauties like the title track,
Telling Lies, and it's sister tune, Folkways.Composed and compiled by Michelle
and Paul emailing files across the world,
Telling Lies is a beautiful collection of songs that only exist because of the
kind of trans-global collaboration that the internet allows.
When they are in the same country, on stage, The Bad Machines are a chaotic mix
of instrument swapping, judo moves, new-wave dancing and stillness.
Their recent tour of the UK, Germany, France and Spain proved to crowds that the
band can rock while quietly connecting with their audience.
The Bad Machines debut album Telling Lies will be released in Australia in
March 2007. They will be playing live in Sydney in February 2007.

ALBUM: 'A gentle glimpse of waking' (due out MAY 2007)
"Jude Elliot showcases one of the more fully formed musical visions to find
voice in recent times.
She offers up a collection of songs that capture the essence of a performer
whose gift is the ability to
express a broad range of emotions, intimately, honestly, and within a rich
musical tapestry."
Paul Turner, Music Editor, Capital Q Weekly

singer/pianist/guitarists.

ARTIST: Van Sereno
TITLE: Persistence
RELEASE DATE: March 5th
OUT ON: MGM
ALBUM LAUNCH: March 6th The Vanguard
The second album from sydney's fresh indie singer/songwriter Van Sereno sees him
producing himself, the end result being a collection of catchy
songs that stand testament to originality yet true to the formula of commercial
and contemporary pop music. A step up from the thought provoking
debut "i think i know", this prolific writer has chosen to use this next batch
of songs to be very lyrics driven, many of them sticking to his trade
mark stories of love and relationships. from the funky "Theres something there",
to the beautiful simplicity of "Sit back relax", and the foot
stomping "Thank you for tonight", Van Sereno has shown he has gained much
insight and has matured in his time on the live circuit. Stand out tracks
is the frollicking "Little bonsai" and of course the title track "Persistence",
two songs that though has a casual and rootsy presentation
to it, both weigh heavy on its metaphor and double meanings that many may relate
to. In his own words "you can't beat persistence",
and as the old saying goes "if you can't beat them, join them", my guess is you
will - joining him in sing along that is.

ARTIST: Paul Turner
TITLE: Clear Blue
DISTIBUTION/LABEL: MGM / Green Media
RELEASE DATE: February 2007
"Come with me to this place. You decide the way. Come with me to this land. We
live our lives to plan."
Paul Turner entices you with the chorus of the album's first track, "City
Lights", and his powers of persuasion continue for ten inspirational tracks.
There's no resisting Turner's invitation to savour life, and the journey he
takes the listener on is unforgettable.
Clear Blue is a powerful and evocative collection from a singer-songwriter who
has heartfelt messages to share and an accessible and joyous musical expression
with which to convey them.
Bringing a mature, world-wise yet unfailingly optimistic attitude to his work,
Turner is an independent artist whose music is instantly accessible to fans of
rock, pop and folk.
While harking back to a time when songs were earnest and pure without commercial
consideration, Turner is a thoroughly contemporary tunesmith,
and his songs are destined for acclaim internationally. Turner's engaging
acoustic-rock style and simple, effective lyrics are showcased on Clear Blue,
which was produced by Adrian Hannan (Taxiride, Vanessa Amorosi, The Superjesus)
and mastered by Oscar Gaona at Studios 301 in Sydney.
"I'm appealing to the deeper aspect of ourselves, the part that stirs stuff up,"
Turner explains.
His melodic finger picking guitar style favours open tunings and unusual chord
progressions, and his voice has a directness that touches the soul.
He sees himself as a kind of painter. "I try to have quite wide brushstrokes so
people can look at my work as they like."
"Come With Me", from Clear Blue, is about moving forward in both spiritual and
earthly ways. "It's about letting everything go," says Turner.
"All the conditioning, things that keep you tied in, your ideas of romance, any
concepts that are strong in your psyche and keep you restricted.
Sometimes when I sing the song I think about trekking around Fairy Bower in the
Southern Highlands; other times I think about being in India..."

ARTIST: Grannyflat
SINGLE: I'm Cool
FROM THE EP: With a Twist of Lemon
OUT ON: MGM

teenager's play original material.
Their influences include the legendary Zeppelin and Hendrix through to today's
Jet and Powderfinger.
Considering GrannyFlat's age (AV 16 yrs)it is very impressive to see that they

about!
"Schooled in rock tradition, GrannyFlat is
already streets ahead of its rivals. If this young band continues to progress at
its current rate it will soon require its own postcode."

Fogsongs music publishing is proud to announce a new singing;
Singer/Songwriter Jeff Cashen
With a very commercial adult contemporary album already in the can - produced
and mixed by Steve Scanlon(Diesel, Phrase, Kate Ceberano)
- videos to go with it and a Chris Isaak like live acoustic show, Jeff's roll
out is planned for May this year - stay tune for the youtube link...
Jeffs Story so far;
"I started playing covers to pay my way through med school. After a while this
got tiring and I started writing my own songs. I always wanted to stay lo-fi but
the turning point came when I started listening to a lot of the American artist
like Dave Matthews and John Mayer. I realised this was the recording quality I
wanted my music to have." To find such values Cashen left his native Queensland
and found himself in the studio of Melbourne producer and mix engineer Steve
Scanlon. "When we spoke about what I wanted to achieve Scanners got excited
about the project. We were trying a make a product which a lot of artists go to
the states to create." With Threads now complete, Cashen has relocated from
Brisbane to Sydney and is currently in the process of finalising national
distribution deal both here in Australia and the United States where he
performed shows in New York late last year.
Of the signing he said "I've been looking for a support network for some time
now as I've done everything myself up till now -
a chance tip off resulted in meeting Marshall and Paul - and the rest -
hopefully- is history"
Marshall Cullen of Fogsongs added;
"We are starting to broaden the roster now and with one of our main marketing
strengths being the soundslikecafe series, Jeffs high quality songs and
production values are a great fit
to expand into the more commercial genre's."

Its been an impressive journey these past 2 years for Van, his first album 'I

reviews;
" From the catchy acoustic riffs to smooth RnB i can't help feeling Sereno is
singing every song to my girlfriend."- Australian Guitar Mag .

Dear everyone:)
I am looking for musicians to work with. It can even be through
correspondence. You can listen to some off my tracks on
http://www.myspace.com/esterka1. Email me even if you just want to
stay in contact for the possibility of working together on a future
project.
Kind regards,
Esterka
http://www.myspace.com/esterka1
I would encourage you, if you have a song, or a band to enter into the
Musicoz awards for this Year.
Live your dream and take the chance to give your dream hope and a voice.
Two buzzing UK bands with a common Aussie thread will both be playing live in
Sydney in the coming weeks;
Farrah -
Farrah's sound isn't easy to pigeonhole. Marrying the vocal sensibilities of the
Beach Boys to the all-out rock of Weezer via the self-effacing lyrics of The
Streets and the pop sensibilities of Jellyfish was always going to set the band
apart. And with comparisons as diverse as ELO to FOW, Supergrass to
Supertramp, the band isn't a stranger to critical acclaim. Farrah's albums have
garnered 4 stars in Q magazine, and approving nods from BBC radio
cognoscenti as diverse as Steve Lamacq and Bob Harris. They've gigged with
everyone from Ash to The Feeling, Hanson to Phantom Planet, played
Glastonbury festival, appeared live on Japanese TV and toured pretty much
everywhere in the world except America. and Australia.
Detouring downunder via Tokyo for their first promotional tour following shows
in Spain and their fourth Japanese tour (their third seeing them play to 24,000
fans at Yokohama Arena at the Nano-Mugen Festival), Farrah will be bringing
their eclectic brand of pop-mayhem to Sydney in February . It's a
surprise the band haven't played in Australia before now, considering Farrah
bass player and Sydney-native-turned-Aussie-abroad Michelle Margherita has
been showing the Brit boys how it's done for the past few years.
Catch Farrah live at the Cat and Fiddle Balmain Friday February 16th ahead of
the Australian release of Cut Out And Keep later in 2007.

Have you ever had the urge to put a harmonica to your lips and
play some blues? Maybe you've tried, but sounded more like Dylan on
a bad day than Little Walter or Sonny Boy Williamson.
'Mouth from the South' Tony Maguire is coming to the rescue. He's
running a special beginners harmonica workshop at Canberra's
Statesman Hotel on Saturday February 3, then another beginners'
session at The Artery in Melbourne on Sun Feb 4.
Sponsored by Hohner, which is providing a `C' harmonica for each
participant, the four hour workshop is called Introduction to the
Harmonica and runs 11:30am to 3:30pm. Cost is $125 including the
harmonica, instruction CD and lunch.
Maguire has been playing harmonica since the age of five.
The 'Mouth from the South' tag came when he lived and played 'harp
in the Northern Territory, where his playing can be heard every
Saturday morning as the intro tune to a blues show on 8KIN FM in
Alice Springs.
"It's called Clarry's Blues and it's a tribute to the show's
compere big Clarry Satour, who gave me a lot of encouragement when I
was in the Territory," Maguire says.
Most recently Mouth from the South has played with The Keith
Armiger Band, Missing Button and Steve Flack of 'Guitar Heroes'
show fame in Sydney in tandem with holding the beginners' harp
workshops.
Workshop places are limited to 20 people a session. For a copy of
brochure/registration form, send email headed 'harp workshop' to
tmaguire01@... or phone 0402 388742
PS: 'Mouth from the South' will be showcasing his full-tilt playing
in advance at the Canberra Blues Society jam, Statesman Hotel, mid-
afternoon Sunday Jan 21st.
Finally the 22nd Illawarra Folk Festival program is out!
It's going to be one huge party with over 125 acts, 500 performers, 275
concerts/workshops/dances/presentations in 12 venues from Wednesday 25
to Sunday 28 January.
You can view the program in a number of ways - as a performer listing or
as a grid/graphical version.
Here's the address with the links:
http://www.illawarrafolkclub.org.au/2007program.php
Remember to get your tickets by 24 January or earlier to save and ensure

Players of all ages are welcome and entry in the competition is free.
Players have the choice of performing solo, with their own

MEDIA RELEASE
DEC 1 2006
Soundslikecafe and Home Grown Roots Partners with Peats Ridge
The summer festival season has now started and everyone is getting ready for the
biggest night of the year. Many Sydney-siders in recent times have become bored
from the same old New Years Eve parties which in a lot of cases have become
quite repetitive.
In order to steer away from this 'norm' the Peats Ridge Festival was created
three years ago to give punters a taste of what a real arts and music festival
should be like. Four days long, fourteen stages and 350 bands of world music,
blues roots & dub, Contemporary music, camping, swimming, horse riding and a
huge amount of festival activities all based on a eco-friendly and sustainable
model.
A small part of the awesome lineup includes The Black Seeds, Banco De Gaia, Tim
Freedman, Afro Moses with Moses O´Jah, Angus & Julia Stone, Tyrone Noonan
(George), Kid Confucius, Sarah McLeod, iOTA and the Beauty Queens, Agency Dub
Collective and Floyd Vincent and the Childbrides.
To follow on from the huge amount of success that the Home Grown Roots and
SoundsLikeCafe showcases have had this year, they will be hosting one of the
stages. With a great reputation of providing quality music from independent
artists, the HGR and SLC crew have put together a killer lineup of artists
involved with them throughout the year. The artists that have really stood out
throughout the year that should not be missed are: - The Honey Palace, Doug
Sandrini, Jude Elliot, The Patrick Carr Project, Simon Kelly, Kolliope, Jesse
Morris, Luke Koteras, Van Sereno, Itu and Emily Davis.
Tix are still available through www.moshtix.xom.au

Montana is a rare beast in this new century of popular music. Perhaps the rarest
of beasts: a crisp, clear understanding of a pop song, a hold on history with
the inclusion of a guitar or two, the appropriate embrace of modern technology
and more hooks than a tackle shop.
The Honey Palace has recently released their third EP that has lead them into a
new direction. Their unplugged EP shows off a different side to The Honey Palace
showing their fans and audiences a more close up and intimate view of them. This
new release features 3 re-collaborated songs from their first two EP's along
with 4 brand new songs recorded early this year.
Patrick Carr is a Sydney-based singer/songwriter that has played many of his
songs from his new album "You And Me" everywhere from London, across Europe, to
his recent home by the beach at Bondi, and now his latest move to Balmain.
Van Sereno likes to be known as a songwriter first and foremost, a singer and
guitarist next. Strongly rooted to RnB and Jazz, Van is adamant to make music
that means something with songs that have a strong message with a catchy chorus.
Itu's musical stomping ground has included everything from small rural and
coastal towns through to college campuses and large industrial steel cities.
Against this ever-changing backdrop she has developed a unique soul-folk style
of poetry and insight through music.
Van Sereno and Itu have combined together on the odd occasion to create their
own hybrid mixture of smooth yet powerful, soulful music. Their successful
performance at The Basement mid this year combined Van's energetic stage
presence with Itu's warm and emotive vocals.
Doug Sandrini can be described as natural music; the sound honest,clear and
developed with no restraints on style, genre or expression. Doug has set about
doing what comes naturally and has played to crowds throughout Australia, from
Perth to Sydney and even as far afield as the US and South America.
Lastelle is singer / songwriter Chris Lastelle, on lead vocals, guitars and
keyboards and his band: Dave Scotland, Craig Calhoun, Scott Johnston, Mark
Williams and Robyn Loau. The songs on the album 'This Is What I Do' were
composed on the road while travelling through Greece, Turkey, Spain, the UK,
Canada, USA, & Mexico. Arriving back in Sydney, Chris quickly recorded demo's
of the songs, then assembled the band to record the album.

The special beginners harmonica workshop at The Artery in Fitzroy
designed to get harmonica hopefuls playing promising-sounding licks
by the end of the session.
Maguire has been playing harmonica since the age of

played 'harp' in the Northern Territory.
Sponsored by Hohner, which is providing a `C' harp for each
participant, the four hour session at the Artery, Fitzroy, is called
Introduction to the Harmonica. There's a choice of either a Saturday
Nov 25 or Sunday Nov 26 workshop. Cost: $125 inc. lunch,
instruction/practice CD and the Hohner harp.
For a copy of the workshop brochure and registration form, email

For Immediate Release
'HAWKSLEY WORKMAN OZ TOUR CO-PRESENTED BY HOMEGROWNROOTS'
This year we have witnessed a large amount of success through the Home Grown
Roots compilation CD that featured the track 'Smoke Baby' by Hawksley Workman.
Home Grown Roots has hosted numerous showcases at The Vanguard in Newtown, The
Sandringham Hotel and The Beach Road Hotel in Bondi.
Those who have witnessed Canadian singer-songwriter Hawksley Workman live in
action have been captivated by his intense on-stage performances. The
multi-instrumentalist first came to our attention in May 2005 by touring
alongside fellow Canadian Serena Ryder. a national support slot with our own
LIOR followed and proved such a success that we had him return for a national
tour before the year was out. The release of his first Australian album
LOVER/FIGHTER came out last October and has since seen Sydney's NOVA 969 add
'Smoke Baby' to rotation.
To kick off the Hawksley Workman tour, he will be playing with Tecoma at The
Vanguard on Wednesday the 1st of November. This will be Tecoma's first show in
Sydney this summer after recently returning from playing at the NEMO festival in
Boston and showcases in New York, Tecoma will be playing her new single 'Air to
Me' from her upcoming album.
Farryl Purkiss from South Africa will be supporting the national tour. He will
be featured on the SoundLikeCafe v14 compilation as well. Farryl has
collaborated and toured with Jack Johnson and Donovan Frakenreiter and is set to
release his debut album CHAPTER ONE in 2007.
Jude Elliot who is one of the Home Grown Roots artists will be supporting both
of them in Adelaide at the Jive on the 3rd of November.
Hawksley Workman has released 6 albums internationally, three of which are
available in Australia - LOVER/FIGHTER, (LAST NIGHT WE WERE THE) DELICIOUS
WOLVES and his latest offering, TREEFUL OF STARLING.
Tecoma released City Folk in 2005 and received the Apra PDA award and The John
Butler Seed grant.
Jude Elliot will release her debut album in 2007.

celebrate an excellent year of fine music!
It will be held on November 28 at The Vanguard, which, as many of you know, is a
great place to sit down, have a feed and listen to some quality music.
This gig will be the perfect opportunity for you to arrange work X-mas parties,
although we suggest you get in quick to book a table.
Our previous showcases at The Vanguard have always been extremely successful and
the quality of music has always spoken for itself.
There will be a range of door prizes and giveaways for every paid entry!
Please forward on to everyone in your address books, It is always great for
Aussie singer / Songwriters to attract as much support for them as possible!
HomeGrownRoots is also pleased to announce that we have our own stage at the
Peats Ridge Festival featuring all of the artists on this bill and many many
more. In other news, SoundsLikeCafe is about to release the 14th volume of the
popular cafe sampler just in time for Christmas!
Tickets are available through Moshtix... www.moshtix.com.au
Cheers,

Montana is a rare beast in this new century of popular music. Perhaps the rarest
of beasts: a crisp, clear understanding of a pop song, a hold on history with
the inclusion of a guitar or two, the appropriate embrace of modern technology
and more hooks than a tackle shop.
The Honey Palace has recently released their third EP that has lead them into a
new direction. Their unplugged EP shows off a different side to The Honey Palace
showing their fans and audiences a more close up and intimate view of them. This
new release features 3 re-collaborated songs from their first two EP's along
with 4 brand new songs recorded early this year.
Patrick Carr is a Sydney-based singer/songwriter that has played many of his
songs from his new album "You And Me" everywhere from London, across Europe, to
his recent home by the beach at Bondi, and now his latest move to Balmain.
Van Sereno likes to be known as a songwriter first and foremost, a singer and
guitarist next. Strongly rooted to RnB and Jazz, Van is adamant to make music
that means something with songs that have a strong message with a catchy chorus.
Itu's musical stomping ground has included everything from small rural and
coastal towns through to college campuses and large industrial steel cities.
Against this ever-changing backdrop she has developed a unique soul-folk style
of poetry and insight through music.
Van Sereno and Itu have combined together on the odd occasion to create their
own hybrid mixture of smooth yet powerful, soulful music. Their successful
performance at The Basement mid this year combined Van's energetic stage
presence with Itu's warm and emotive vocals.
Doug Sandrini can be described as natural music; the sound honest,clear and
developed with no restraints on style, genre or expression. Doug has set about
doing what comes naturally and has played to crowds throughout Australia, from
Perth to Sydney and even as far afield as the US and South America.
Lastelle is singer / songwriter Chris Lastelle, on lead vocals, guitars and
keyboards and his band: Dave Scotland, Craig Calhoun, Scott Johnston, Mark
Williams and Robyn Loau. The songs on the album 'This Is What I Do' were
composed on the road while travelling through Greece, Turkey, Spain, the UK,
Canada, USA, & Mexico. Arriving back in Sydney, Chris quickly recorded demo's
of the songs, then assembled the band to record the album.

How would you like to learn the fundamentals of blues/rock harmonica
in a single session - and be jamming with a band at the end of four
hours?
That's what the organizers of Mouth from the South harp workshops
in Melbourne on the weekend of November 25-26 are offering.
The four hour workshops climax on a kind of evangelistic note as
enthusiastic participants go up the front and jam on their harps with
a full band.
"Not all of them get up, but we've found the majority do, and most of
them sound pretty damn good!" says workshop leader Tony Maguire,
aka 'Mouth from the South.'
Sydney-based Maguire earned the Mouth from the South tag when he
lived and played harp in the Northern Territory, where he can still
be heard each Saturday at the beginning of Clarry Satour's blues show
on 8KIN FM.
Sponsored by Hohner, which is providing a `C' harp for each
participant, the four hour session is called Introduction to the
Harmonica. There are two workshops at Fitzroy music venue The
Artery, the first 11:30am-3:30pm Sat Nov 25, then the second same
time on Sun 26, with 20 places per workshop.
Cost is $125 including lunch -- and participants walk away with the
Hohner harmonica plus an instruction and practice CD to hone their
new skills.
Workshop topics include:
· Trains and multi-note rhythm styles;
· Single-note blues and rock riffs;
· Playing through mikes, amps and effects units.
