For those of you who would like to know a little more about my musical adventures leading up to now... here is the news feed that began from my first EP Launch (as Spoonful Of Sugar) back in 2012, right through all the China Doll shenanigans and up until I embarked on my journey around OZ as a two-piece

CHINA DOLL HIT THE NORTH WEST
Well, a bunch of things have happened since playing in Broome back in June. We just recently played at The Spinifex Spree Carnival in Port Hedland and supported Eskimo Joe at The Walkabout Hotel the following night. Thanks to everyone that came to the shows - we had a great time. We've decided its best to keep escaping the winter and are currently back in Broome to play The Broome Cup Races this Saturday (Aug 17th) and Divers Tavern on the 18th. We will also be playing a WAM Schools Alive gig at Broome Primary
