I must go for a good walk each day . It serves multiple purposes, the main 2 being my steps competition and unearthing things . The unearthing bit is a slow process as I’m not confident enough to just barge in an introduce myself and ask questions . It is true that I use the Aussie factor as a disarming tool but I still take it slowly. Now I blogged a while ago that I found some fame and history that is attached to the fabric of this place. I love the small industrial area out the back as I’ve sensed there’s a lot more to tell but I’m taking my time , I don’t want to be that guy who’s a nuisance and just wants to do some star fucking . Anyway , i drifted in again and found my easy target Keonie who funnily enough is the conduit to anyone who is known . What I found is there are some recording studios hidden in this ramshackle set of sheds and factories. Some very reputable bands can be found locked away here .Legendary punk band Pennywise is one . Cotton Mouth is another and also an up and coming band called STD. My mate Keonie is actually a talented artist as this picture below is the album cover he’s working on for STD
Also our little mate Greig the metal worker has some fascinating clientele.Below is the Pennywise symbol he made
Greig is the guy who made the purple prince creation and surfings famous triple crown ring .He does some intricate work . He is currently making a special hammer for a one of the most sought after violin makers in the world . Check this brilliantly shot and hosted video by Howie . Yep I’m just going to bring in my own special type of professionalism
