zeal’s twenty-ten

there goes 2010.  zeal relocated to melbourne and good things happened!  starting with what’s happening right now and working back…  i’m currently in adelaide where i’m set up in a bunker, recording new songs for some sort of ep early in the new year.

My album is ranked third on a whothehell.net  ”list”.  It’s the second time i’ve ever been on a list and it’s still fun.



Last week my song “clouds” made a top songs of 2010 podcast on polaroids of androids.  it was the first time i’d ever been on a list and it was fun.

i played alot of shows this year, all of which had secret words, many of which i can’t remember.  some were:

  • alphabetical
  • curvacious
  • rod stewart: android
  • william shatner
  • gumption
  • dental plan
  • dragon master
  • griffin slayer
  • cromulent
  • lights in the skies

the best gigs of the year were hobart + music = yeah and the gate.

i also had a great time at this is not art where i sat on a panel and talked about axis.

i got to make a mixtape sorta thing for a polaroids of androids podcast and inflict my taste in music on the masses.

i put out an animated film clip for vigilante with midi and lights:

my name was in sos

i released my debut album and it landed album of the week on FBi.

it was also uploaded to a russian file-sharing website.

it’s been a good year.  onwards into a happy and productive twenty-eleven!

Good eve.

more zeal in sydney. lofty.

Anyone following my tweets or facebook might have seen this campaign that was run by the wonderful and not at all paranoid polaroids of androids to land me another gig in sydney. well, it worked!

this show is on top the the show on the 18th at the gate which is sold out at this stage but if you register here you may be able to claim a spot.  the loft show on the 17th is free so come, come, come!  i’ve gotta say, the most awesome people exist on the internet.  so many lovely people have helped line all this up but  i’ll thank them all in audible words at these shows.   i’ll also be on FBi talking about stuff and playing a tune or two on the 17th around 4:30.   yay sydney.

and of course this weekend is hobart=music=yeah!(!)

Hobart + Music = Yeah!

way, way, way exciting.  if you come to either of these shows you’ll be among the first to see my guitar in it’s new shiny form:

lots happening.  right now, sleep.
