Featuring

Rise and I Rise

This song is dedicated to the Child Wise Charity and the people who work there.
All join hands....
I recorded this at home on my computer.
I basically wrote arranged and played the whole song.
I got my daughter Madelaine to sing the chorus with me.
Apart from the guitars and vocals everything else was played by myself on a keyboard.

It was written as a tribute to George Martin and his work withThe Beatles.

All Join Hands MxDown 2

This track is off an album Called All Too Human.
It was recorded on The Hunters and Collectors mobile 16 track studio.
Doug Falconer set it up for me in my lounge room in South Yarra and that's were it all happened.
Amanda was pregnant wit Madelaine at the time.
I demo all the tracks and gave them to Doug... he layed down the drums and percussion,
then I put the guitar tracks down and got Antnohy Raggs (Raggsy) to play the bass lines after the vocals were recorded. Then some Keys from Herbie Mayhem... and presto! instant album.

Steve Lucas;       Guitars and vocals.
Doug Falconer;   Drums and percussion
Anthony Raggs;  Bass Guitar

It is also kind of Beatlesque, but withplenty of me as well.

Use My Mind

Hmmmm.... This song is called My Kind Of Guy (Gal)

I wrote this for ex X drummer Cath Synnerdahl. One of my dearest friends but sadly no longer with us. Cath was something else. Really. A transexual that trancended sex. Warm, awkward and incredibly funny as being a brilliant musician. I wrote this song in order to break down the barrires.
After she died her parents told she kept a copy of the lyrics in her pocket where ever she went.

I perform all the tracks. Sang the vocals played the guitars and did the rest with a borrowed Yamahah(?) key board (Might have been a Korg). It was recorded on my PC same as All Join Hands. It was supposed to be a romp and a bit of a laugh. Cant help feeling sentimetal though...

I'm Yours.

This is an instrumental I recorded at home on my computer... It may have lyrics one day but the right words have not et found their way home to rest. ( It has taken up 15 years on occsasion to find the right words) So once more the tusty keyboard, guitars (bass, slide, accoustic and electric) and drum machine get an airing. I was trying to create a 'landscape' that was visual as well as aural. Please let me know what you think. S.L.

I'm Yours (Piano mx)

A.R.M again. From the Damien Gerard sessions...


Another Bite

Another track from A Once and Future Thing. 
Me on organ, piano, accoustic guitar, vocals and bv's. 
Geoff Holmes on electric guitar with with Jim Dickson on Bass guitar
John Butler on Drums and Rebecca hancock leading the outro bv 's which include just about everyone. (as well as popping up here and there). Heavy psyche in an uplifting way...


Come Friday Afternoon

When Love Is Loving.
Another song from the sessions with Cath Synnerdahl, Cath drumming, naturally,
with me on guitars and singing away.
Once again Rosie Westbrook on bass.... either Will  or Craig
manipulating the chaos pad  thingy in the solo. I cant remember...

Another home recording. 
Me and my guitars and ever faithful drum machine.
