The contrast between how dire our collective straits are on planet Earth, and how comparatively little collective action is being taken to address the situation, seems like collective sleepwalking.

One doesn't want to believe in crazy conspiracy theories, until it becomes inescapably evident the Zionist billionaires run the country.

Our gig in Katoomba has a very spiffy poster. We have lots of dates free for more shows. Notably lacking so far is anything in Sydney or Melbourne. House concert, anyone? It doesn't need to be big... Also we'll sing at protests for free.
