Last weekend, me and a bunch of talented young film makers from The Grindhouse went up to Peats Ridge in NSW to make the clip for Universe Can Wait. Soon I’ll show you a few video snippets and pics from the shoot, in the mean time you can read a bit about it on my twitter. Think torn jeans, f trucks, burning guitars and bush walking.
Also, I am really happy to announce I’ll be accompanying PD along with Ollie Browne (Art of Fighting) around the big brown land next month. I’ll be putting together a set with long time friend and musical companion, Will Udall, to bring you something a special. Don’t dilly dally buying your tickets, some shows are already sold out. Listen to Paul’s exceptional new album here.

Also I’ll be back up there in a couple of weeks to play with Eddie K at the Enmore. I’ll be playing as a duo at all the above shows. Sean Windsor will be playing guitars and being just plain cool.
As for the rest, I’m working at the little suit shop, riding the train, writing new songs, braving the melbourne weather and watching as my songs reach a little further everyday.
More soon. Leena x
