Just a little tune I put together for my friends’ daughter’s 3rd birthday.

The Big Band - I Think Of Demons

The Big Band have released another song! This time, it's a cover of the legendary Roky Erickson's 'I Think Of Demons'. We're all very proud of it and we want you to hear it.

The Big Band - I Understand And I Wish To Continue - Grace Emily, 9 July 2011

Since September 1999, I've been a proud member of a band called The Big Band, with my friends Nigel, Spencer and Steev. This Saturday, we launch our newest album 'I Understand And I Wish To Continue' and we're playing a show to celebrate. This also marks our final live show in this line-up ever.

Here is a little taster of the album:

The Big Band + Avant Gardeners + The Monies + Old Mate, 14 August, Metro Hotel

The band I'm in, The Big Band, are playing a rare live show, 14th August, at the Metro Hotel, with Avant Gardeners, The Monies and Old Mate.

It's shaping up to be a corker of a show, and if you're in Adelaide, it'll be great if you could pop on by!

You might've heard The Big Band's version of 'Ballad of Serenity', aka the theme from Firefly, but we've recently finished recording track, 'Little Girl Gone', a death waltz (my favourite kind of waltz).

We're quite proud of it, and we'd be mighty appreciative if you gave it a listen:

While we're at it, have a listen to Avant Gardeners too:

Recorded and mastered in under an hour*, The Big Band attempted to beef up 'The Ballad of Serenity', the mildly limp theme song from the brilliant and all-too-shortlived television show 'Firefly'.

The theme song, written by Joss Whedon and originally performed by Sonny Rhodes, is... not brilliant and it took me a long time to get over its distinct lack of awesomeness, especially when the show itself was so incredibly awesome.

The Big Band originally intended to Motorhead-ise their version but ended up channeling The Misfits instead.

Why??? Do I need to grab a copy of my legally-bought DVDs every time I get a hankering to hear the theme song???
