Well, after a lengthy ’injury break’ the album is well and truly back on track, and it’s been done so in style if I may say so. Last Friday a crack team of talented people (Loveday, Graetz, Redlich, Dainer & Smith(s)) descended upon an abandoned, flood destroyed film studio with a mission: Record and film an entire song and [...]

…and rain stopped play
April 18th, 2010 – 9:37 am
well, rain stopped record, actually. jaymis and i were in the middle of filming a new clip in the city and woke up this morning to find rain means we need to pursue other endeavors for the day. keep an eye out in the city over the coming weekends though – if you see a [...]
cowperband turns 1!
April 6th, 2010 – 11:51 pm
With a little help from my friends… from Cowper on Vimeo. jaymis kindly informed me today that the site was up for renewal as of today. this means that cowperband.com is now 1 year old! this is a pretty amazing thing for me. so much has happened over the past year that i thought it [...]
a video in 2 hours
March 31st, 2010 – 1:10 am
after rehearsal tonight for tomorrow’s gig at the southbank open air i was struck with a combination of insomnia, and general silliness. so, i decided to see if i could make a video from scratch (including audio) in 2 hours. the one-take-only-and-adlib-as-i-go attitude to both video and audio takes means it’s a little shakey, but [...]
on the road again…
November 25th, 2009 – 8:11 am
the car is (re)packed and i’m on my way to Glen Innes for a gig tomorrow! it’s going to be a busy weekend as i’m back up in brisbane to play at the Lofly Hanger on Friday night supporting Mr Maps, McKisko and Fergus Brown – a last minute addition to the schedule, i know, [...]
Cheer Up! in Canberra
November 8th, 2009 – 10:03 pm
Super Mega Double Video Day! I thought that seeing as though I’ll be disappearing into the wilderness for a few days I should work extra hard today to get the Canberra video finished and up as well. And by “work extra hard” I mean “Hire a pedal boat and pretend it is a gondola by [...]
Howard Hughes in Newcastle
November 8th, 2009 – 12:51 am
Currently in Canberra getting ready for today’s gig…started and finished the Newcastle vid last night with all its foibles and editing clichés. Still, it’s ok as my one of my first ever video efforts! After the show today I’m heading south south south to Wilson’s Promontory to relax for a few days – should be [...]
lucky i brought my guitar…
November 4th, 2009 – 1:00 pm
the avid reader tour…music, books, and err…what was that third thing again? oh that’s right. surfing. hmm. new board? check. waves? uh… so it’s been flat, but that’s not bothering me one bit. new roads, new towns, new beaches…and don’t forget i can always fall back on the guitar. the next show is coming up, [...]
it’s a knock-out (that’s the name of the game)
August 31st, 2009 – 1:16 pm
so it seems that putting me through some bizarre physical endurance test is becoming a common theme for cowper videos. first it was trying to maintain balance and stave off sea sickness whilst being spun on a chair; then it was all about how long i could hold my breath whilst playing guitar under water.
