Lyrics:

Wake up in the morning and my socks are wet, my socks are wet
Put on a brand new shirt but we're not getting on, getting on again

Sigh 'n sigh again but it was only an accident, an accident
I'm tired of making sure that you not gonna freak out again
And leave me at the door.

Why's it so hard to understand me
I'm just tryna live my life while I can.

With our music and our friends we've got more than you can spend
Forget those early morning emails we're busy kicking down the man
Seems like such a waste of time when you're working 9 to 5
Baby that's it I'm hungover you gotta make up your own mind.

Beating on my back is not gonna change my way or win the game
You think I'm some kind of bad ass, but that's where you're wrong that's not where I belong.

Why's it so hard to understand me
I'm just tryna live my life while I can.

With our music and our friends we've got more than you can spend
Forget those early morning emails we're busy kicking down the man
Seems like such a waste of time when you're working 9 to 5
Baby that's it I'm hungover you gotta make up your own mind.

MU330-Tune Me out

The band known now as Sir Reginald was originally formed in 1992 under the name Salmagundi, and were based in Sydney, Australia. After Jake moved down from the Sunshine Coast early in '92, the Donehue brothers set about putting together a musical outfit. Jam buddy Matt was brought in, along with original bass player Mark Fitzsimmons, followed by singer Paul McLeod, who had been playing in a band with Paul Donehue at the time. The final piece of the puzzle was to add Paul Mcleod's mate from acting school Mike Rix on percussion. The lads set about gigging around Sydney, playing shows with a young You Am I and Spy Vs Spy to name a few. Eventually Mark moved on to greener pastures, leaving Mike as the new bass player. 

The band kept gigging and writing, culminating in the self-titled E.P. recorded in 1995 (now known as Sir Reginald - 1995), along with a film clip to the song "Aphrodite". Unfortunately the band probably wasn't at it's most unified at that point, resulting in Paul Mcleod leaving the band shortly before it's release. The guys tried to keep things going but a lead singer like Paul Mcleod is impossible to replace. Paul Donehue got married and moved away shortly after and with that the band that had been known as Salmagundi was consigned to a very dusty and obscure corner of 90's Sydney rock history. With a bit more understanding, organisation and sobriety the band had the potential to do something, but it didn't.

Fast forward to 2015 and that very handy tool, the internet. Through social media the lads hooked up for a laugh and to reminise. One day it was suggested jokingly that they should catch up and make some music. 6 months later they were standing in a studio doing exactly that, having travelled from interstate and overseas. These days they are a whole lot more sober and organised (well, within reason...). The end result was the "Stand Up" single and a whole lot of fun. What the future holds, who knows. One thing that is certain is that while the band Salmagundi is dead, the recording project called Sir Reginald and the music of it's members is very much alive.

Let’s meet the band!
 
Paul Macleod  (Vocals, Keyboards) -  Paul's call for positive action in Aboriginal Ska style song Stand Up was inspired by his time with the Pukatja Band in Central Australia. Paul has a strong connection with the land and people of Central Australia and is looking forward to teaching an Indiginous language course in the near future. He is often found in those parts doing solo gigs or playing with his band, The Ashmen.
 
Jake Donehue (Guitar, Vocals) – Jake, along with Paul MacLeod, is the other contributing songwriter in Sir Reginald. He currently fronts the Brisbane based band The Disgruntled Taxpayers as well as running his label, Hungry Spaniel Records.
 
Matt Sullivan (Guitar) - Matt's no fuss, the song comes first approach hasn't changed. He is currently residing in Hong Kong while working on various projects.

Paul Donehue (Drums) - Currently based in Brisbane, as well as being a university lecturer and a father to triplets, Paul plays electronic percussion with Dubmarine as well as drums with The Disgruntled Taxpayers.

Mike Rix (Bass) - With his recently completed music degree, Mike works around Sydney as a respected session player and music teacher.
