Original country, folk and rock music. The beautiful artwork was done by my amazing god-daughter, Mym Den Elzen. It's inspired by the theme of my new album, out soon, called Star Parade. Enjoy! Love to all xxx

Hailing from the bowels of G-Troit Rock City, Paraquay are here to shake the psychedelia from the Australian music scene with their energetic, yet heart wrenching power-pop hits. An amalgamation of the coast's strongest performers, Paraquay are Big Star via Redd Kross and more than ready to take on Budokan. Championed by broadcaster Jane Gazzo, the band pay's homage to the region's musical history whilst embracing the new, and breaking as many OHS standards while they're at it. Combining a mesmerising live show, soaring melody's and provocatively witty yet emotive lyrics, Paraquay are taking over... are you ready?

The stuff on this site is extracted from FOUR (count 'em!) LPs: Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms; Glorious Five Year Plan, First Bomb of the Weekend and John Pitura Glut. It's all performed, produced and engineered by me and it's all written by me except for four old Raw Nerves tracks and two co-writes...

I've just finished what has been a four year project where I've been "refusing" to get anyone else to play on the songs, if only because I've got the arrangements in my head and it's too hard to impart them in the little snatches of time I get in the studio. 

The recording's been a wonderful, if solitary experience,

Beyond this, I've started writing again but any "rock" will probably be more sticky fingers than bollocks. This is mainly a matter of choosing the right distortion pedal and closing the hi-hat every now and then but there'll be less of it, one way or the other. There will be more weirdness and pastoral pleasure and other musos, voices, generations and genders. The lyrics will be less FILL-o-centric and will have, as an abiding theme, the magic and wonder of the English language.
