OK, we're excited about this. Yes, Mu-Theory are all about writing, performing and recording original rock music, but playing live we do a selection of cover songs.

We recorded our gig at  Gertrude's Brown Couch (wow that's long, how about GBC)  in April and we decided to publish two of them. 

We're calling it a "Double A Side" since we like them both, but since they're MP3s I'm not sure which would be A anyway :)


Take Me To The River, that classic Al Green R&B number covered by many other famous bands including The Commitments, Talking Heads and many more. Our version leans towards The Commitments - minus the brass section

I'll Be Around, first released by The Spinners in 1972, our first listen was the legendary Aussie singer Doug Parkinson who has inspired our version

Best of all, they're FREE from our page at CD Baby http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/MuTheory just register (it's free too).

Don't forget to leave some feedback telling others how much you enjoyed them!

We're aiming for another gig at GBC mid June - stay tuned.

We decided to record the gig at Gertrude's Brown Couch and have combined the mix with three iPhone audience videos.

The audio is great, the video is ... well, it's an iPhone 3

The Basin Music Festival 2012

Well I have to say the 12 noon on Sunday isn't the optimal spot for an audience, but this year the venue was well organised and the sound guy knew what he was doing. This was Mu-Theory's first gig with our new bass player Pat Ferdinands and when I arrived Pat had the hall to himself and was putting the bass amp through it's paces.

A small but dedicated audience (thanks Mum!) and a really good Mu-Theory performance to start the year.  We finally got some decent video only to find that the sound levels on the recording we distorted rather badly.  Good live video seems to be eluding the band. Might be time to call in some favours!

Gertrude's Brown Couch - gig

About a month ago I went to see my mate Ben Rogers play at the Fitzroy venue Gertrude's Brown Couch www.gertrudes.com.au. This is an inner city venue and I figured that it would be good for Mu-Theory to play there. After a few days of too and fro with the venue we ended up putting together an evening of music with some other bands we know - including Ben Rogers' Instrumental Asylum, Jessie Sparks - a former jazz singer with one of my earlier bands Strange Fruit, and Ben roped in The Volcaniks for some surf music.

With a vocal duo, 2 surf instrumental bands and Mu-Theory it was an eclectic line-up but by all reports the gig worked well.  We recorded our set and I'm mixing at the moment. Hoping for some decent iPhone video to combine with some of the tracks ...

Lot's of fun!
