This is a demo of a musical I wrote the music for in the 90s - yep that long ago. Set in Kings cross, shows the struggle of a young couple trying to make it set against the harsh backdrop of 90's Kings Cross with all its noble and malevolent characters. Some of the set includes a fictitious cafe called Happy Joe's which turned into a part of the set. Theres a strong theme of social justice epitomized in the song "The big thieves hang the little thieves" and "Justice"....  Maybe someone out there who sang in it may see this sight - perhaps others will listen. It'd be great to resurrect it.It was a demo musical and was put on for one night at the Wharf theatre in Sydney to try and get backing, it didnt get up! Theres still some good tunes in it although its so long ago I cant recall them all, cheers Peter Stein

Opening X beat theme
Situations vacant song hero (Frank) and girl
Happy Joe's song
The way it is (girl to man inside)
Constabulary (cops song)
I'm here for you (another love song)
Hell 
Justice
Take the money
Thieves
Torch song
Life is like a river

Cross beat the musical

The story of Xbeat

This is a surviving demo of music I wrote for a musical in the 90s - yep that long ago. Set in Kings cross, shows the struggle of a young couple trying to make it set against the harsh backdrop of 90's Kings Cross with all its noble and malevolent characters. Some of the set includes a fictitious cafe called Happy Joe's which turned into a song. Theres a strong theme of social justice epitomized in the song "The big thieves hang the little thieves" and "Justice"....  Maybe someone out there who sang in it may see this post - perhaps others will listen. It might be good to resurrect it, in some way. It was a demo musical and was put on for one night at the Wharf theatre in Sydney to try and get backing, it didnt get up! There's still some good tunes in it I think, although it sounds dated now & its so long ago - but a song is a song. 
I found a tape of the tunes and converted them into an mp3 for sound cloud, thanks SC
