about

"Combined with this is the warmth, wit and tenderness of one of Melbourne's most underrated songwriters. Stories of high fun and romance, of relationship ups and downs, songs about his musical heroes, McCarthy creates his own unique mythology which demands repeated listenings.
From what I've heard of the live shows, the new album promises to be a cracker. The existential country rocker "Wasted and Alone", the reggae epic "Long Time", the party tune "Drinking at a Hotel" are already crowd favorites.
The band comprises McCarthy on swaggering vocals and guitar, supported by the cool, sometimes whimsical rhythm section of Nathan Farrelly (bass) and Damian Fitzgerald (drums).
One of Melbourne's best kept secrets. Check them out"
