Rob & Paul HIRST & GREENE AND THE DEAD MARINES SET SAIL FOR SYDNEY Three fabulous winters nights with some of Australia's finest songwriters! Rob Hirst, Paul Greene, Brendan Gallagher, Bow Campbell & Bernie Hayes promise a show where its all about the song the story and the voices! Thursday July 14th - The Vanguard - Newtown Friday July 15th - The Heritage Hotel - Bulli Saturday July 16th - The Brass Monkey - Cronulla Hirst & Greene Rob Hirst and Paul Greene have each already represented Australia at the highest level - Rob as a founding member of internationally respected Midnight Oil, and Paul Greene as an athlete in Australia's team for the 1996 Olympics and 1998 Commonwealth Games. In fact, Rob and Paul met in 1999 when Rob was co producing an "Olympic Record" - a CD of original compositions that united athletes and musicians, and was released to coincide with the Sydney Games the following year. Rob and Paul's similarly positive personalities and musical chemistry drew them into a longer relationship that is now bearing fruit. Rob's mid-range, slightly weathered tones complement Paul's soaring, crystal-clear delivery, and it is the blending of these two distinctive voices - along with their emotive song writing - that is at the heart of their debut recording ('In the Stealth of Summer' - released on ABC's 'Roots Music Label', March, 2005). On stage it's sparkling musicianship and relaxed banter - personal/universal themes delivered with humour. Rob's voice, 6-string acoustic and stomp box join forces with Paul's voice, 12-string acoustic and harmonica to stimulate any audience and fill any room. The Dead Marines are a new Sydney-based band, featuring three of Australia's most regarded contemporary artists - singer/songwriter Bernie Hayes, Front End Loader's, Bow Campbell and Brendan Gallagher of Karma County. These long time friends and compelling performers have come together to record "New Day" an album of original songs, tales of love and loss and the dear school of experience refracted through the prism of a wine bottle or three. >From the rich vocal harmonies of Everybody Wants To Hurt Somebody Sometime to the rawness of Six Pack Love Letter, and the soothing jazz sounds of I Couldn't Be Less Cool the Dead Marines deliver an acoustic album of songs that are open, honest and warm. "New Day" out now thru Vitamin "Shortly after receiving his promotion to rear admiral in 1790, William IV, known as the 'Sailor King', was at dinner on board one of his fleet's ships. He ordered the steward to remove the 'dead marines' to make room for new bottles. A marine officer at the table complained. His Highness responded that no offence was intended. The expression was used in the sense "...that, like marines, the bottle had given its life nobly and, given the chance, would do it again." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
