This is just another example of Australia's finest and most consistent band. Guys, these sets and acoustic shows are fantastic for your fans. I'd love the opportunity to be able to purchase them off iTunes or similar - even if you set up a charity or something - that way we can listen to these sets again and again!
Excellent mixing also - great to hear it at it's best...
Thanks as always guys - 15 shows, countless CD's, DVD's and singles and never let me down - better than most friends!!

They are a remarkable band with such beautiful melodies and acoustic harmonies.

On Mar 4, 2010. 1:09pm

Hi Davo...ta for the mail...sadly the answer has to be no...under our agreement with the band, we're allowed to use the tracks on air and stream the video, but that's all.

On Mar 4, 2010. 1:12pm

Hi Jimmy

Thanks for the mail...it's up to the band what else happens to this material...our agreement with them only allows us to play the audio on air and to stream the video. The charity idea is a good one...unfortunately it's not something we could organise, but maybe you could ask them? :)

Hi Jase...thanks for the message...the short answer is that we have no plans to take it off the site, so enjoy!...unfortunately we don't have the rights to allow copies of either of the tracks, but we're glad you like 'em!

LOVE powderfiger! I have been looking everywhere for an acoustic version for my wedding! :(

Where can I get it/download it?

Thanks!

I wish we could help with the wedding request, but under the terms of our agreement with the band, we can't offer the recording as a download...but hey, you could always ask the band for permission:

Sounds like a guitar class of beginners who have just been to their first songwriting class for wannabe's. Nice that they give so much pleasure to all their fans, I can only hope they look further afield and find some music with a bit more depth and originality. One can only hope.
