Rogue State (Kyoto to Bali)

Dave Robertson — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 15:11:04 +0000

So on the weekend when I was meant to be doing my tax, I recorded a new song about the Howard government’s appalling record on the greatest challenge facing humanity - climate change. Its called Rogue State (with a subtitle of Kyoto to Bali) and you can listen or download HERE. Please distribute this song widely! Big thanks to Peter, Tom, Janja, Karl and Anne for all their help.

Yesterday my track “Other Body Parts” got played on the “Home and Hosed” show on Triple J, the national youth broadcaster. I’m a wee bit stoked! That’s now 21 radio stations that I know have played tracks off my “Little Scientist” EP.

said the Teletubbies. Early September I’m once again touring east, playing Ruby’s and Sagi in Melbourne and then the Front in Canberra. I’m also excited to be on the bill for this year’s Earthdance festival on September 16 at Fairbridge. All the nitty gritty details on the Gigs page.

Nexus Car Share

Dave Robertson — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 03:33:07 +0000

My “Little Scientist” EP has been chosen as this month’s feature CD by Nexus Car Share. This is a scheme that saves money and hopefully reduces car use and its harmful effects. Consider not owning a car. I never have.
