Music, Music, Music. Music.

After playing a really soul affirming set at Soft Belly last week, I'm playing once again with Ms White as The Baby Drivers this Friday at CERES Community Environment Park in East Brunswick. The Weekend People (featuring the disgustingly talented Nicholas Roy) are also playing. We'd so very much love to share some of our new tunes with you, so those without plans - you now have exciting ones with much promise. Hope to see you there from around 7 (we're on at 9pm). Costs $8/$5 at CERES cnr Stewart & Roberts St, East brunswick.

I'm also hoping to get back onto some theatre thoughts and reviews in the near future, now that I have finally finished work on my own projects (for the time being).

Let's talk soon, shall we?

Babies at the Bender

Hi drivers everywhere,
thanks to everyone who came to our rather noisy debut at the Bender Bar in May.
This coming Thursday we're doing it all again this time with the rather brilliant and bluesy STEPH BRETT supporting!

This could be one of our last full shows til August as Monica is travelling to the US and Rhys is doing some theatre in Brisbane so come on in and share a tune or two to get you through the working week.

You can listening to some of our new recordings now online at www.myspace.com/babydrivers and www.myspace.com/rhysauteri

Stay tuned for some Rhys solo shows in August, plus a fundraiser appearance in July...

Cheers,
Rhys & Monica

BABY DRIVERS with STEPH BRETT
Thursday. June 26
Bender Bar, 635 High St, Thornbury

MyMusic at MySpace

For those of you who have heard my music and those who haven't, I've recently put up three new recordings at www.myspace.com/rhysauteri. I'd love to hear any comments or thoughts you may have. The songs are SMS Me which I wrote late last year, No Difference from 2006 and Overeducated Underachiever written in early '07.

I'm playing a Baby Drivers gig on Friday 23rd (see below) with hopefully some solo dates to follow in June. Keep checking in for more recordings this year - there should be a couple of Baby Driver tracks at www.myspace.com/babydrivers in the next month.

You can sign up for the mailing list for my solo shows as well as Baby Driver shows by emailing babydrivers@gmail.com.

Music in May from me and Monica...

Hi everyone,
Well we've been pretty busy doing anything BUT performing music lately but the BABY DRIVERS will be playing again on FRIDAY MAY 23 from 9:30pm at the awesome BENDER BAR (635 High St, Thornbury).

Also appearing are the laid back jazz and funk outfit SUNDAY BEST, plus a special set by our friend Ben Mitchell - plus it's FREE ENTRY.

It's going to be a great night of music at a cool venue so please pencil us into your diaries!

Stay tuned for more dates in June. We have also been busy recording of late, so expect some great new recordings to appear soon on www.myspace.com/babydrivers and www.myspace.com/rhysauteri

Cheers all,
Rhys & Monica

Ember Lounge this Thursday

Take a moment to admire the grace and style of my small promotional image for my next gig. Photoshop. Ten minutes. That baby has never looked better (nor has he or she ever said anything so important).

To those around Melbourne - come along to the Ember Lounge this Thursday 4th at 8pm for my first solo set for the year - satisfaction guaranteed!

Christmas Music

Thurs, Jan 11th - Baby Drivers (me & monica) after 9pm
