new single pending
A studio collaboration has begun with didg master Mark Atkins, known to his mother's people as 'Yonga' (kangaroo). Mark, who met the band in France earlier in the year and played several dates on the last Australian tour, is adding didg and a story to the newest BROTHER track 'Slow Down'. The song is set for release to Australian radio and will be available for download on open i music (BROTHERmusic.com) before the end of the year.

... has begun. Expect new episodes regularly as Angus and Hamish tell their story as they see it.

what are they up to now?
excerpt from Angus' latest road journal 12/1/06

"... the day after the tour drew headed north on his own walkabout.  dalbo hopped a plane to LA to check on the fort there, lend his mongrel touch to the recordings of several other artists and continue work on his famed drum studio.

hamish and i remain in oz for now, tying up the tour, working on new material, and developing, among other things, mongrel TV. it's our desire to keep all our supporters, wherever they are, up to date with what's happening in our world. to have them as involved as they want to be. there is so much going on, so much to do, that's quite a challenge, but one we're excited by. we continue to make this up as we go along, drawing on an abundance of past experiences, what we're living now, and the vision of where we want to go. we're very keen to keep sharing that journey."
