Pretty Shiny Christmas

Posted on By admin

I thought I would share a little unheard track from the Crazy Talk album recording sessions. We had a lot of fun recording it — rather late in the day (probably about 2am) — and after a reasonable amount of wine and beer had been sipped… we recorded ‘Pretty Shiny Frisbees’. The relics of ancient civilisations are still being uncovered today — but what will future societies make of the stuff we are leaving behind us now, in the 21st century?

Best wishes for the season,
give love, not piles of stuff!!

Trials and Tributes

Posted on By admin

 
Helloooo!

It is with icy fingers I type this missive… well, not icy, but it is quite a cold mid-winter for the North Coast of NSW. It has been an interesting time of consolidation since the Crazy Talk album was finished. Now that my mind is starting to clear a little from the haze of such a long process, I’m starting to get the CD out and about and book gigs for the coming Spring. Some new songs have started to bug me into writing too…

Rosie and The Thorns will be playing the Wingham Akoostik Music Festival on Saturday October 16th. The full lineup has not been announced yet, but includes Phil Jamieson (Grinspoon) and Wendy Matthews, so it will be an eclectic affair! The Festival website is at winghamakoostikfestival.com.au.

I was invited to contribute to the ABC Radio’s Sing Like Slim tribute to Slim Dusty. I will be singing my version of ‘Pub With No Beer’ in ABC’s Port Macquarie studios in July! You can read more about the project here and I’ll be sure to let you know when the date is approaching.

I have entered the song ‘Breakdown (Note to Self)’ in the Catapult Song Contest. It’s an Australian song contest running on Facebook right now. The top 50 are based on votes from the public (by the end of June 30th!!) so if you are on Facebook we’d love you to please vote for the song today! Go to http://catapultsongcontest.com.au/CG

Thank you for listening :)

Take care,

Rhythms mag review

Posted on By admin

Chuffed to get a review from Martin Jones in Jan 2010 issue of Rhythms mag — Australia’s roots music monthly.

Rosie Sutherland is not exactly fresh to music (she first popped up in Andrew Kidman and Mark Sutherland’s Val Dusty Experiment in the mid-’90s), but this is her debut album under her own name.

Sutherland is a fan of left of centre American country — stuff like Neil Young and Lucinda Williams — but exudes a strong folk aesthetic in her writing and singing. She also exhibits the invaluable understanding of economy in her singing; delivering just what the song and lyric requires and no more… … Continue Reading >Rhythms mag review

Tamworth shows cancelled

Posted on By admin

It is with regret that I have cancelled my upcoming shows in Tamworth. I have been in bed with a chest infection for a week and still need more time to recover. I was so looking forward to it, but now I’ll have to wait until Tamworth Festival 2011!

Happily, we are planning some shows in Tamworth before then, and in Sydney/Newcastle in the coming months too. 

Phew, that’s about all I can manage… back to bed with hot lemon and honey tea…

Music in the modern age…

Posted on By admin

It’s a fact for artists these days that music is freely available for download on the web — even ours! Yes, that’s right, Rosie and The Thorns have been pirated! And not just once, there’s a whole raft of sites where you can download hiqh-quality mp3s of ‘Crazy Talk’.

I know there is not much I can do about it and a part of me is kind of pleased to know that people have actually gone to the effort of uploading the album… occasionally even with their opinions of it! But trying to make a living from creative pursuits gets harder, even though the demand for new music is certainly not slowing down.

So, if you have downloaded one of these free copies of the album, perhaps you might consider sending us a small donation, I’ll leave the amount up to you…

Crazy Talk Shoot

Posted on By admin

 
A white wall under a tin roof.

Everybody scrubbed up pretty nicely, with the help of stylist Kelli and her bag of magic potions. Photographer Wednesday Sutherland broke her trusty old SLR (well, actually it just went on strike) but her Polaroid and digital were more reliable. I raided my wardrobe of vintage hand-me-downs and fooffed round in heavy sateen for the day.

Yes, we had fun!
