Having known one another for a decade and change, Melbourne-via-Newcastle's Jamie Hay and Melbourne-via-Hobart's Liam White teamed up a couple of years ago to add some electricity to Jamie's acoustic sets; as well as to write some new tunes of their own. Over dinner in one of Jamie's old Newcastle haunts, Hamilton Chinese, we spoke of the pair's individual and collective history - including, but not limited to, warehouse shows, grindcore, punk rock elitism, going solo and back again.

"Water Memory / Hurry to Heaven" is available here: https://jamiehay.bandcamp.com/album/water-memory

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
