A new chapter: with change, comes opportunity
Monday, 30 April, 2012
It’s been a pretty constant couple of years of solid touring and recording for us Little Stevies, and this week marks the beginning of a long earned rest that we are all very much looking forward to. After kicking off the year with a very fun Victorian all ages beach tour and then three delightful months of house concerts all around Oz, meeting wonderfully lovely and interesting people and having an all round corker of a time, we have now reached a new chapter. As we say a musical farewell to our brother from another mother, Robin, Byll and I will be spending the next few months working on a couple of side projects we have in the works until we hit the studio again a bit later this year to make a new album. While Byll is renovating a house and preparing for motherhood, I continue plodding along with a master’s degree and keep in practice by working on a first release for my pop, beat heavy duo, Sugarcraft. Also remembering that albums don’t just appear out of nowhere, while side projects are being worked on, Byll and I continue to practice our engineering skills in comfy warm winter repellent homes while we continue demoing new songs about our next phases of life. But although we and our touring vehicle are more than ready for a good clean and refurbish right about now, it’s only a matter of time before we get itchy feet and feel the need to get out and play live again. So of course it won’t be long until we hit the stage with a new show, particularly with the help of an additional little built in roadie who will be getting some accelerated work experience in the first year of his life. As I’ve been told by numerous strangers of late, ‘with change comes opportunity’, so it feels like appropriate timing after nine years of us making nothing into something together with Robin, to welcome a fresh start with just the girls as we enter the next decade of music making and ever changing touring adventures. Stay tuned folks, because there’s a hell of lot on the horizon and we’ll be making sure we keep you all up to date and privy with all the nasty and hilarious details. Beth
