I said that I had some news, and I most certainly was not lying – here it is. One of the reasons that the Cowper Machine has been so quiet over the past year has been as a result of my involvement in the band Edward Guglielmino & The Show. As a long term (and [...]

News, and Gig at Black Bear Lodge
April 11th, 2012 – 1:51 pm
So there is news, but first I thought I’d quickly say that after a very long hiatus, I’ll be playing a Cowper gig this Sunday night at Black Bear Lodge. It is going to be so wonderful to be back on what was the old Troubadour stage – I’m extremely keen to be back playing my [...]
This is my hardcase
January 3rd, 2012 – 6:11 pm
THE THING that I love most about international transit centres such as Singapore Airport is that you can stand in the middle and listen to a dozen different conversations; each in a separate language I have no hope of understanding. So many people on different paths, the murmur melding itself into one vibrating hum of [...]
Re-Surface-ing at the Zoo
December 9th, 2011 – 8:52 pm
it’s friday night and I’m catching some post rehearsal nom-nom at tuck-tuck. the valley is starting to wake up in the cool december air, which leaves me with no excuse for the polyester rehearsal scent i’m wearing like cheap perfume. some great things are on tonight…as i speak Sam Cromack is warming up at Black [...]
little church near the lights
November 30th, 2011 – 11:31 pm
So, the church around the corner from me has one of those ‘quote board’ thingos. You know the ones…they stand there on the side of the road when you are stuck in traffic, looking down their letters at you with ominous statements from John or some other fellow. Now that’s ok; they can write what [...]
Breakfast with Jeff Buckley
November 21st, 2011 – 9:33 am
Ive been on a Buckley binge lately – Jeff albums; Tim albums; even a little Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. And now I’m reading Jeff’s biography. It’s by pure accident that all this has happened, but it has certainly put me in the right frame of mind as I take this week off to focus on [...]

The Long And Wining Road
July 2nd, 2011 – 10:00 am
As luxuries go, my current activity would have to be up there. I find myself on a brisk winter morning standing underneath the arching, spindly arms of a leaveless tree in the midst of Yarra Valley wine country. It’s a Saturday and I’ve come to Melbourne to help celebrate a good friend’s birthday…a welcome break [...]
Free Side Project Download – Ed Gug & The Show
July 1st, 2011 – 1:14 am
Hi! I mentioned a while back that I dabbled in a few other side projects. What I did forget to mention was that all three bands that I am in are recording albums right now, and are all expected to launch this year…soooo I guess I might be a busy touring bunny heading into the new [...]
