This year has been a busy one so far for Seaworthy. Thanks to everyone who made it along to our recent shows with David Pajo at the Hoey and the instore with Maripossa at Sound & Fury Records. Both shows were great, as were the live recordings so expect some of the material to see the light of day in some form before the end of the year.

The 'Needle v. Thread' collaborative project wiht Sydney based multi-medium design company, Plus 1 Design, has been completed. Over 20 individually designed and hand made carry bags were amde, each including a CDR featuring the 10 minute Seaworthy piece, 'Needle v. Thread. The bags were an immediate hit and have been selling quickly. Check out the Plus 1 Design website for more details.

A big show coming up for Seaworthy with some friends from Perth too. Saturday 29 April 2006. The Hopetoun Hotel with a great line up or Tucker Bs, Airport City Shuffle and The Thaw. More details to follow but mark it in your diary.

There has been a little time between updates. There are only a handful of the Backwards Architecture CD available in the elaborate packaging. We will have the release available in a modified sleeve from here on in. The sleeve is still hand printed using the same linocut design but rather than the three cardboard wallets, a printed recycled cardboard sleeve is slipped into a plastic slip case. We would love to keep up the construction of the original design but there are just not enough hours in the day and, most importantly, new projects are being lined up. See "releases" for ordering details.
