ARCHIVE - 2006 and previous...
WHAT, 2006 OVER ALREADY?
All the best to one and all - here's to a great 2007 then, or something unifying at least. It will be a year of stonkingly good music. It will be a messy, hop-driven fest of laboured gear lugging ending with blindingly good times. Of dangerous pursuits in exotic climes. Of a little bit of give and take. Don't mention the fuckin cricket though - what a debacle.
BURN IN HELL VIDEO SPINNING ON RAGE
We've heard that Rage will spinning the new video for Burn in Hell on Friday 22 December - it's on about 3.30am. Sounds like an end to a good evening rather than an early start - saddle up, eyes down and crack another one.
POPKOMM WRAP
The big music, beer and sausage fest in rock-steady tres louche Berlin is over! And a top effort it was all round. We've got a heap of things happening at the moment that we will report back on as and when they land for Rich and the rest of the All Killer team. More on that later.
Music highlights included a sensational set from Irish raggle-taggle gypsy Fionn Regan in the damn coolest venue on the entire planet called Pfefferbank in the old East Berlin, and another among the velvet from a German crew called Erik and Me. Too cool for school, both of them. No need for school when you play like that. They've both got MySpace sites if you want to check them out.
In other highlights - we bought a couple of magnificent Russian Lomographic cameras so expect plenty of fish-eye and panorama in the new artwork. They are here. They don't make them like that any more. Well they do in Russia it seems.
Berlin was as sensational a place as it was last year and the 24-hour bars never closed. Funny that. Put it this way, we are moving over at the first opportunity. Rich was interviewed about Popkomm while he was over there for an article that ran in The Australian Financial Review on November 18 in a piece called 'A big willkommen to Popkomm'. Austrade has the article up on its website if you want to check it out.
Mainly though, we met a heap of good people supporting and promoting great independent music. Once again, many thanks to the Austrade team of Michaela Kruschina and Stefan Jedele for putting on a great Australian stand with AIR. It worked.
RICH DOES A COUPLE OF SONGS LIVE TO AIR
The interview on The Serpent internet music show was a heap of fun with Laura. Rich also played a couple of songs on the acoustic live to air - Minnie Pearl and The Girl Who Laughed Too Much. The show also included both Rich's Don't Feel So Sad video and the new video for Burn in Hell.
The broadcast was broadcast live but for those who missed it, there should be a repeat available for download on the show website pretty soon. Check for it here.
RICH ON NEW MUSIC SHOW
Rich will be interviewed on a new Melbourne internet music show The Serpent on Thursday December 7, from 7.30pm to 8.30pm EST. The show will be broadcast live. Check it out here.
EUROPEAN SHOWS PUT BACK TO MARCH/APRIL
For those of you waiting for details on the European tour, the shows have been put back until March/April next year. There are good reasons for the delay which will become apparent pretty soon - enough to say, that what will happen next year will be substantially better than what had initially been planned. Watch this space.
DON'T FEEL SO SAD ON NEW VIDEO COMP
The video for Don't Feel So Sad is featured on a promotional DVD produced by Austrade and the Australian Music Office. Called OzGigs Vol 3, it's currently being marketed at major music events around the world as a representation of new Australian music.
The Rich Webb track is part of the Rock compilation which also includes The Casanovas, Something for Kate, Regurgitator, The Exploders and SixFtHick.
POPKOMM - SEPT 20 TO 23
All Killer Music is attending Popkomm in Berlin again this year - if you want to know more about the label, grab some samplers or just want to say hello, come and meet us at the AIR/Austrade stand in Hall 17, stand 513b.
BADGES AND T-SHIRTS!
We've just had some sensational Rich Webb 1" badges and a range of t-shirts made and will have them up and available through the online shop really soon.
There are six badge designs and they come as a set and three different tees - black, red and grey - in a range of sizes. The gear was designed by Kelly Boulton, a fantastic artist based in Byron Bay. Kelly also designed the new Rich Webb tour poster. Check out Kelly's stuff here.
We'll have previews of all this new stuff up soon. That is, as soon as we can work out how to do it.
RICH - UK CONTACTS

BURN IN HELL VIDEO IN THE CAN
It's in the bag and looking sensational - Mean Streets meets Melbourne's Chinatown. It will be going out to the television stations in the next few weeks, so keep your eyers peeled. We'll also have a version of it up on You Tube pretty soon, and put the link up here. Stay tuned.
EUROPEAN/UK TOUR IN SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER
Rich will hit Europe with a full band in September, taking in the Popkomm Music Festival in Berlin with a host of other shows. Dates are running from early September through to the end of the month when the band moves over to the UK - more details as they firm up.

This one's a short story which has been put together by the top team of Tom Harris, Justin Gibson and Shyam Ediriweera. They also did the ripper for Don't Feel So Sad. We'll have a link to the new video up here as soon as it's in the bag.
The video features the sensational work of Bethany, Den, Jimmy Mac, Merv, Jim, Justin, Nikki and a host of others - plus a magnificent '71 silver Fairlane, Mean Streets style. More details coming soon. It went off by the way. Thanks to Megan at the bar also.

BURN IN HELL SET FOR SINGLE RELEASE IN HOLLAND
It's single number two in Holland/Belgium - Burn in Hell will be out as soon as we can get it all together. The single will be in a radio-edited version and will also feature a dance remix of Miranda by London's Bubble Boy with some seriously whacky Rich backing vocals. More on this as it zooms in from planet one and lands on earth.
The track will be building on the enormous success there of first single Don't Feel So Sad and will be through the same team of Pitar/Holland Promotions.
OVERBOARD LICENSED IN KOREA
We have just struck a sensational licensing deal in Korea which will see Overboard released there by mid-June. It's with a label called SSG and distribution is through EMI Korea.

CD AVAILABLE FROM 'CD BABY'
Get it here. We've been a while sorting this out but get on there and let us know you've been - better still, buy the thing and let's get it moving over there.
DON'T FEEL SO SAD VIDEO ON 'YOU TUBE'
It's here. We thought we would be able to link it through to the website but it didn't work out that way. It's happening on this link all the same.
DON'T FEEL SO SAD SPINNING ON RAGE AGAIN
It's another early start but we've just heard the new video will be spinning again on the national music television show Rage late tonight (early Sat morn, March 18). It's on between 5.30am and 6am and slots in straight after Jamie Cullum and just before The Panics, Howie Beck, Josh Pyke, The Greenhornes and The Futureheads.
Set the alarm, or better still ride in the morning after a stinking night out - I know which one we will be doing.
MIRANDA REMIX SOON
Following the success of his remix of Rich's Don't Feel So Sad, London's Bubble Boy has the goggle glasses on again - this time he's taking apart Miranda and he's whooping it up. The early word is that it's like Tricky does Dallas but with decent cocktails. It's on the next EP for sure. We'll try and get a sample up here soon.
CHECK OUT THE VIDEO ON SONICBIDS
Our friends over at Sonicbids have got the video for Don't Feel So Sad up as part of the Rich Webb EPK (techno talk for electronic press kit, apparently) - check it out here and click on the video link at the top of the page.
They are fine tuning the Quicktime version but the Windows one is working way cool. The EPK address is www.sonicbids.com/RichWebb - feel free to email it around.
DON'T FEEL SO SAD ON RAGE - SAT 4 APRIL
This is a tight one but we've only just found out - the new video for Don't Feel So Sad will be screening nationally in Australia on ABC's Rage music show between 5.30am and 6am on Saturday, March 4. It's coming in just before The Magic Numbers.
We've got some more news as the track goes out as a single in Australia but we'll be back with more on that when it's nailed. In the meantime, why not put the hammer down and catch the vid as the sun rises - it's not Saturday morning, it's just nearing the end of a decent, arse kicking Friday night!
CANADA HERE WE COME
Rich has been invited to play at the North By North East music festival in Toronto in early June - more details coming soon.
DON'T FEEL SO SAD VIDEO IN THE BAG
The video is finished and it's a real corker - It was shot by Tom Harris, Shyam Ediriweera, Justin Gibson and Jason Bagg and features Rich, Jimmy McHugh on bass and Ivan Choi Khatchoyan on drums piling into it on a 44 degree Melbourne Sunday afternoon - live on stage and at the bar. Too good.
TWO NEW RICH WEBB INTERVIEWS ADDED
In the last couple of months Rich has done two interviews for Australian Music Online, the main Australian music website, and both are now up on our website here.
The first one 'The day the stars aligned for Rich Webb' was done in December and covers the making of Overboard and some of Rich's favourite local artists and releases.
The second was done in late January on the back of the release of the new AIR 2006 independent music compilation. Don't Feel So Sad is on the rock disc of the AIR comp and the interview also covers getting started in music, some recent CD faves and band riders. Check them out here, and the Australian Music Online website here.
DON'T FEEL SO SAD ON 2006 AIR COMPILATION
Rich Webb's Don't Feel So Sad is on the rock disc of AIR's 2006 Australian independent music compilation which will be on national release from February.
The compilation includes tracks from Ben Lee, Tecoma, Ben Birchell and the Corrections, The Butterfly Effect, The Hovercrafts, Giants of Science, Josh Arnold, Bertie Blackman, Ten Penny Joke, Offcuts, Mandy Kane, Jeff Lang, The Gin Club, Renee Geyer, Butterfly 9, Lucky Oceans, Ash Grunwald, Jessica Paige, Amanda Easton, Sally Ford and the Puchuco Playboys and Resin Dogs.
The compialtion will be distributed internationally from January at trade fairs including MIDEM (France), Popkomm (Germany), South by South West (USA) and Canadian Music Week plus dedicated national distribution and promotion to Australian radio, music media and industry.
AIR CEO Stuart Watters says: “The AIR compilation is about telling the world that some of the finest music produced in Australia comes from our thriving independent music industry.”
It's a corking lineup. There is plenty about it at the AIR and Australian Music Online websites.
SOUNDS LIKE CAFE COMPILATION BREWING UP A STORM
Don't Feel So Sad, the lead track from Overboard, is on a new compilation CD which has just gone out to 2000 cafes around Australia. The early feedback on the release has been fantastic.
The CD includes tracks from Butterfly 9, Renee Geyer, Ann-Marita, Josh Arnold, iOTA, Bertie Blackman, Virna Sanzone, Cindy Ryan and the Universal Order and Dream Catcha. If you hear it spinning in your cafe, get behind it.
It's a fine compilation and you can find out more about it at the SoundsLikeCafe website here.
DON'T FEEL SO SAD VIDEO ON THE WAY
Last Sunday Rich, Jimmy McHugh and Ivan Khatchoyan kicked up a storm for the filming of a cracking new video for Don't Feel So Sad. The video was shot by Tom Harris with a great crew and will be on release early February.
The video was shot at one of Melbourne's treasures, The Lido Ballroom in Hawthorn. This place is an untouched gem, with red velvet wallpaper from the 1950s and classic design. It looks and is cool.
The bad news is that the current owners are due to be kicked out in four months which means it will be more than likely converted into some forgettable, run-of-the-mill new fangled outlet and all this beauty and charm will be lost for good. We've got to get behind this place and make sure that doesn't happen.
BLUE-EYED GIRL ON THE SOUNDTRACK OF A NEW AUSTRALIAN SHORT FILM
More details in this coming soon.
DON'T FEEL SO SAD SPINNING DAILY IN HOLLAND AND BELGIUM
Rich's first single in Holland/Belgium is going down a storm.

If you are in that area, get on the phone and request it at your station and let's see how far this fantastic track can go.

CRACKING REVIEW FROM ROUGH TRADE
This is what the legendary Rough Trade label said about Overboard:
''Overboard sees singer-songwriter Rich Webb at it for the third time, producing slow brooding rock not unlike the Bad Seeds. Reviews say there are influences including everyone from Bob Dylan and the Beatles, to the Byrds and Paul Kelly. Ditching the acoustic guitar for a heavier soundscape, the result is a deeper, darker Rich Webb than we have seen before. Tracks like 'Move on Over' and 'Burn in Hell' demonstrate Rich Webb's commanding presence. He definately has a Nick Cave vibe to him, his dusky dry voice resonating amongst a sea of howling guitars and deliberate, solid bass lines.''
Buy your copy from the Rough Trade online store here.
12 BAR CLUB, LONDON - THURS OCT 20
The last gig of Rich's UK visit will be at the famous 12 Bar Club on Denmark Street, WC2 (nearest tube Tottenham Court Rd). Rich has played there many times on previous visits, and this show promises to be a corker.

DON'T FEEL SO SAD - US BOUND IN DECEMBER
We've just heard via email that a major Brooklyn-based promotions company is keen to see what they can do with Don't Feel So Sad on US radio - mainly the East Coast for a start. Not wishing to stand in the way of progress, we've given them the thumbs up.
It will be an eight-week campaign running from early Decemberr. So, for anyone over there, start thinking about getting on the phone and asking for 'Don't Feel So Sad' at your local radio station. We will keep back with more news on this soon.
POPKOMM WAS MASSIVE!
It was a tremendous three days in Berlin. We made big steps towards getting the All Killer label into Europe, met some great people and saw some firing bands. We'll keep you posted as negotiations finalise but it has already been worth the trip.
Hats off to Stu Watters and Raynee Burridge from AIR, and the Austrade Frankfurt team of Rebecca Baring, Michaela Kruschina and Stefan Jedele for pulling together a great Australian stand and making it a top spot to work from and to be.
RICH WEBB SAMPLER
The Popkomm sampler is in the bag and ready to go.

AUGUST RESIDENCY AT THE CORNISH - Wednesday nights
The last gig at The Cornish went so well that Rich and Charlie will be back there on Wednesday nights in August - that's Wed 10, 17, 24 and 31. It's a cracking venue this one, all the shows are free and they'll hit the stage around 8.30pm for two sets.
Why not get down there early, fill up on some fine Cornish tucker and settle back for a cracking night of tunes. They'll be doing different sets on each of the nights and throwing in a few choice-cut covers. These are likely to be the last shows for Rich before he heads overseas to Berlin and London for six weeks. The Cornish is at 163a Sydney Rd, Brunswick. Tel (03) 9380 8383. Get there.
TOP NIGHT AT THE CORNISH
Rich Webb and Charlie Wilde's August residency at The Cornish Arms kicked off with a bang. The two were joined on double bass by the great Loretta Wilde for a ripping first set.
A slot from fine Sydney singer-songwriter D Henry Fenton followed, before the boys wrapped up the evening in style. Get down there. These will be last shows for Rich before he heads to Europe. They are going to be working up a sweat and cruising for a bruising.
OVERBOARD AVAILABLE ON UK AND US iTUNES SITES SOON
This is another thing that we've been working at for a while which is now almost there - both Overboard and The Girl who Laughed Too Much will soon be available for download on the iTunes sites.

EMPRESS SHOW - Thursday, June 9
Anyone who has spent time in Melbourne will know that The Empress is one cracking venue - one of the best smaller band rooms in town. That's another good reason why you should get down there on Thursday, June 9, as this line up promises to be spectacular.
Rich Webb and Charlie Wilde will kick off proceedings around 9pm, with Medicine Ball and The Merri Delta Blues Band to follow. Admission is $6. The Empress is at 714 Nicholson St, North Fitzroy, tel: 9489 8605.
NEW RICH WEBB EP TO JUMP OVERBOARD
There's a new Rich Webb five-track EP on the way, under the guidance of mixing guru Howard 'Fingers' Bargroff.
The CD EP will feature Overboard favourites Don't Feel So Sad and Move on Over, two newies and a remix of the opener. At this stage it is expected to be a limited release, but will be, shall we say, 'competitively priced', and we are also looking at offering it as a digital download.
Don't Feel So Sad is the number reviewers have been screaming for us to put out as a single and will be the lead track, while Move on Over is the most played track on the album around these parts.
Combine them with two newies that are finger-licking good and we reckon we have more than the full business here. The new material sees Rich team up with T-Bone guitar ace Charlie Wilde and features some deep south keyboard flavours from London-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Chris Letcher. Tasty!
To check out Chris Letcher's stuff, his website's here. We'll be back with more on this beauty soon. At this stage, it is expected to touch down in early August.
FESTIVAL FINALE AT NOISE BAR - Sunday, May 30
Rich Webb will be playing at the closing night of the Fusion Multi-Arts Festival on Sunday May 30 along with a heap of other acts that have been performing around Melbourne as part of this great event.
It's happening at Brunswick's Noise Bar, 291 Albert St. The action runs from 5pm to 11pm, and it's $7 admission. Expect supreme music, dance, theatre, performance art, hoola-hoop work, fire-eaters and more.This will be a ripper. Get down there.
WOW! GIG OF THE YEAR BY FAR
Sometimes things happen when you least expect it. Friday night at Preston's Stolberg's was one of them. Rich Webb turned up to play a solo show for the Fusion Multi-Arts Festival and ended up performing an absolute classic hour and a half set backed by the almighty string trio Allamanda.
At times it was like being in bohemian Prague, as the orchestra serenades under crystal chandeliers across a chequered marble dance floor, and at others like the whipping wild west of a Texas desert. It was goose-bump stuff.
We got the best of all three albums from Rich and other numbers going back to The Stiff Kittens, but in ways they have never been performed before - with violin, viola and cello for accompaniment. It was a revelation. The evening has set the tone for the next album.
Allamanda are Mary Johnston on violin, Alison Feiner on viola and Amanda Rowarth on cello. If they are playing near you, get there - they are sublime.
MAY DATES FOR THE FUSION MULTI-ARTS FESTIVAL
Rich Webb has joined the Fusion Multi-Arts Festival running all over Melbourne at the moment. On Friday May 20, Rich will be at Stolberg's Cafe Gallery on the corner of Bell St and Plenty Rd in Preston. Then on Saturday May 21, Rich will be at The Old Colonial, 127 Brunswick St, Fitzroy.
Both shows are $10/$7 and will feature a whole range of performers and performance styles. The action runs from 8pm through to 1am. Stand by for news on dates for the following weekend.

CRACKING OVERBOARD REVIEW IN FORTE
Forte's Renee N Abbott delivers one hell of an appraisal. We'll let these well crafted words speak for themselves. Right on...
"If you can't smell the sharp coffee sting or taste the sweet steaming night, then you're not hearing the bluesy groove of Rich Webb and his rich web of murmuring colours.
Through an earthy honesty he delivers smouldering soliloquies, charged with a mildly abrasive edge which gnaws at the soul. As a whole, the album 'Overboard' is a brooding train ride which rolls with glowing guitar, riveting rhythms and lingering bass, moving over dynamic waves of musical landscape.
s a deeply philosophical lyrical conundrum, Webb explains "It's essentially about what happens when everything gets thrown away." With an obvious mastery over metal, rock, groove, blues and folk, Webb teases the subconscious with a sneaking sinister style, working his tenor voice across glib guitar glissando on '3 Days Missing' and through the punching tempo of 'Judy Garland'.
In the narrative styles of Nick Cave and Al Stewart, Webb filters his beckoning Don Henley raspiness and intonation through a sandy Tex Perkins grunge, with the beckoning huskiness of Peter Gabriel thrown in. All aboard for Overboard! Rich Webb, keep weaving." Renee N. Abbott, Forte Magazine
OVERBOARD RECOMMENDED IN MUSIC AUSTRALIA GUIDE - March 05
This is the magazine of recommended music you pick up in JB Hi-Fi stores and Overboard is one of four Australian CDs reviewed in the March edition. They've also got a website here. Grab a copy when you are next in town.
The review goes like this:''He's been compared to Nick Cave and Dylan, but Melbourne's Rich Webb has got his own line in dark pop. A finance journalist by day, Webb does the business on his second solo album, showcasing his earthy, raspy vocal and some strong songwriter.'' Nice one indeed.
QUEENSLAND'S TSUNAMI GOES OVERBOARD
Cool review in this month's Tsunami mag in southeast Queensland:"Glasgow born Webb has a very distinct character which comes through strongly in his music. There are many musicians on this release, but Webb has written nearly every track, and this gives his stylings a great opportunity to show through... " Greg Buchanski

FANTASTIC OVERBOARD REVIEW IN DB MAGAZINE - March 05
We'll let this one speak for itself:
"Although, like everybody, I try not to judge a book (or, in this case, a record) by its cover, this cover photo of Rich Webb, standing in some overgrown backyard next to a destitute, corrugated iron shed, dressed in a mismatched suit, scratching his head as if simultaneously worried and disinterested, screamed out for me to discover who the hell this guy was. And I'm glad I did: 'Overboard' is a gem of a record, even if it's one of those albums you'd never hear except on recommendation. But I tell you; once you've got it, you'll never want to let go.
Webb fits somewhere around the Dave Graney mould of singer/songwriter, although his songs are less reliant on some kind of assumed personality, and more focussed on the way in which his real personality presents itself through the form of song. For example, Don't Feel So Sad, the opening track to this opus, is not at all like Graney - it's a Triple J hit in the making (if only they'd play it), with a chorus to die for. In fact, I'd say this song is rivalled only by Michael Carpenter's Good Enough in the male singer/songwriter stakes for 2004.
But this record is also overflowing with his personality, and his less-than-orthodox way of producing pop music. Judy Garland has a Bluebottle Kiss style to it; the demented lament, Blue-Eyed Girl, is masterful; Move On Over, which you may have heard before, expertly adopts an electronic sound to make you bend to its groovy will; Firehole quietly rocks; and the climax, Miranda is a dirty pop song to make you sit up and take notice.
And the best part is, I don't even think as yet that I've discovered everything that I'm going to love about this album."
OVERBOARD NOW AVAILABLE IN ADELAIDE AND SYDNEY
The review in DB Magazine has got things moving big time in Adelaide, and we've rushed copies of the album across to three fine record stores over there - Big Star Records on 197 Rundle St, Dillons Music on Portrush Rd in Glenside and Blackwood Sound on Coromandel Parade, Blackwood.

Hey, and if there are any other records stores who want to stock this great album, please get in touch at the contact details on the left and we'll get copies over to you quick smart.
INTERVIEW WITH INPRESS'S JEFF JENKINS
Rich's interview with renowned Australian music columnist and author Jeff Jenkins ran as two pieces in Jeff's Howzat! column in Melbourne's Inpress music magazine - on February 9 and February 16.
In the first piece, titled "Rolling Stone gathers a Webb", Rich talks about the musicians that have influenced him, about his background and what it might mean to be "very Melbourne". He also gives the lowdown on how a few of the songs on Overboard came about.
In the second, "Man Overboard", Rich recounts an afternoon he spent in the presence of sound genius George Martin at the legendary AIR Studios on Oxford Street, London. Yep, he might have been with the man who made every classic Beatles album and loving every moment, but nope, Rich wasn't even carrying a demo tape. Gawd!
We've now got both articles up on the website - click on the Press link above and then click the link to 'Rich Webb Overboard interviews'.
RICH WEBB: "LIKE A TARANTINO FILM SOUNDTRACK!"
That was how one new fan described Rich's set at The Empress on Saturday night. We reckon he nailed it in one. It was a buzzing night and a fine part of a cracking three-date weekend for Rich.
Enough money was raised to build an orphanage for 20 kids in Sri Lanka on Friday night, which was something very special to be a part of, The Empress went off and Rich finished with a two-hour show at cruisy Barbukka on Sunday.
Thanks go to Troy and Chris from Joe Camilleri's Woodstock Studios and BS Sound PA Hire in Elwood for donating their time and equipment to help pull together the sound on Friday. Nice one fellas and to Jeanine and Scott Frazer for pulling off what was a remarkably successful fund-raising evening. Top work all round.

BARBUKKA RESIDENCY KICKS IN
Barbukka is at 279 Smith St, Fitzroy and this sweet drinking gaff in the middle of rock crazy Melbourne town is where you are going to find Rich Webb for the next couple of months.
The first night of Rich's January residency went down a storm - the show was steaming and the room worked a treat. The night worked so well that the band has agreed to continue down there through February.
Rich was with Charlie Wilde on lead guitar and Hugh Martin on bass, both from The T-Bones, and they delivered two cracking sets, taking in most of Overboard and a few favourites from The Girl Who Laughed Too Much and Bring on the Dancing Girls.
Rich will be back at Barbukka on Thursday the 20th and 27th of January and will then switch to Sunday afternoons at the same place in February. To catch up with Hughie and Charlie, go to The T-Bones website here.

Barbukka is at 279 Smith St, Fitzroy. Tel: (03) 9417 2877. The shows are free and Rich will be onstage from 9pm performing two sets. Get down there!
ROLLING STONE GIVES 'CLASSY' OVERBOARD REVIEW
Esteemed rock and roll journal Rolling Stone has given the thumbs up to Rich's new album Overboard. The album is one of only a handful of indie releases to make the cut in the Febuary 2005 edition and as far as we can see, the only Australian indie record to grab a full review.
In a piece titled 'Classy package from olde M-Town', Rolling Stone editor Simon Wooldridge draws comparisons with Matthew Sweet, Kim Salmon, Nick Cave, Hugo Race, Joe Camilleri, Peter Gabriel and Bob Dylan. That's decent company indeed.
While we reckon he might have been a star short in his final assessment, it's a great review. Check it out at our Press page.
COOL OVERBOARD REVIEW
We don't draw your attention to many of these, but the new Overboard review on the Australian Music Community website is well good. They describe the album as ''brooding slow rock not unlike The Bad Seeds." Right on. AMC reckon that by ditching the acoustic guitar, Rich has produced a heavier, deeper, and darker soundscape than on his previous albums, and we totally agree on that front as well.
"Tracks like Move on Over and Burn in Hell demonstrate Rich Webb’s commanding presence. He definitely has a sort of Nick Cave vibe to him - his husky dry voice resonating amongst a sea of howling guitars and deliberate, solid, bass lines. If you’re into darker alternative rock that has depth and sophistication to it in a dark sort a way, look no further."
To check out the review in full, go to our Press page.
TOP NIGHT AT KASHMIR
A balmy Melbourne evening provided the backdrop to a firing set from Rich down at Kashmir last night. His 40-minute slot took in songs from all three albums.
Miranda, Boat With No Hole, Minnie Pearl and 3 Days Missing were among the highlights, while the bands that followed delivered the goods. It was a fine night out, based on that enticing rock and roll triad of top music, cheap booze and free admission.
If you have not been down to Kashmir yet, you should check it out. It's ballsey trying to establish a new indie venue in the shadow of Melbourne's money-grabbing Crown Casino, but this place works.
KASHMIR - SOUTHBANK - Wed, December 15
Rich will perform a one-off acoustic show at Kashmir on Wednesday 15 December. Admission is free and he will be onstage at 7.50 pm. This will be a special performance indeed and one of the few times you will be able to catch Rich without the band.
Kashmir is a new night in the city at NEXT BLUE nightclub, 8 Whiteman St, Southbank 3006 (Tel (03) 9292 7001). It's behind the Crown Casino. The venue is cool and deco, with a 24-hour licence and cheap booze - if you've not been down there, you should check this out.
Also appearing on the night will be The Sure Shot Hunters, Hennessey, Quarter Life Crisis and The Sign. See you down there.
OVERBOARD TRACKS ADDED TO ILR PLAYLIST
Judy Garland and Move on Over have been added to Canberra-based radio station ILR's music playlist. ILR broadcasts via the net and supplies music programming to regional areas and overseas. Both songs have been regular features on the station's Australian Real Underground Music show.
FANTASTIC ELLIOTT SMITH TRIBUTE NIGHT AT THE CORNER
The gig was sold out by 9pm and totally teeming - you couldn't move with 600 plus in there. And the evening worked a treat, with each Melbourne performer bringing something to Elliott Smith's material.
Elliott Smith was up there with the best and this was a fitting tribute to a brilliant musician and songwriter.
For the record, Rich played 'Everybody cares, everybody understands' from XO. Hats off to the people at the Corner - Richard, Eva, Ben and Bek - for pulling it all together.
ELLIOTT SMITH TRIBUTE NIGHT - The Corner, Monday, Nov 15
Rich Webb will play as part of a tribute night for one of his favourite singer-songwriters, the much missed Elliott Smith, on Monday, 15 November at The Corner Hotel in Richmond.

All proceeds will be donated to the Australian Childhood Association. Tickets $10+bf available Corner Box Office 12-8pm Mon-Sat, (03) 9427 9198 or click here. Doors 7.30pm. Don't miss it!
NOTHING HAPPENING - Valley FM 89.5 - Nov, 12
Renowned Canberra-based DJ Craig Latham will be spinning tracks from Overboard as part of his Nothing Happening show from 10pm tonight in Canberra and the ACT. He also runs a good music discussion group. Check him out here.
25/10/04 JOHN PEEL - RIP. A radio legend
Click here for the BBC's obituary
British music would not have been the same without John Peel. When everyone else played chart rubbish or whatever they were forced to play, he stood out like a beacon through the 40-odd years he was on air at the BBC.
John Peel would spin the coolest release and then next a local band's demo tape, and he'd do it across the national airwaves and purely because he liked it. Not only did he have good taste but he had great foresight, and that's why he was so instrumental in the development of many of the major music movements that came from Britain - not least punk - because he was usually the first person to get behind them.
Rich: ''I remember when me and my brothers were kids we would tape his shows and then play them back heaps of times because back then it was the only place where you could hear new stuff that wasn't aligned to a major label and a big marketing push.'' ''John Peel was an absolute giant with a voice that sounded like 12-year-old whiskey. British music and musicians everywhere will be much the worse without him.''
The Morning After radio show - 3PBS - September, 8 - 8am
Rich will be on 3PBS's 'The Morning After' show on Wednesday 8 September, at 8am. He'll be playing two songs from the new album and speaking with presenter John Carver. For those who have just arrived in Melbourne, you'll find the station at 106.7FM - and you'll want to stop there.
Rich to make a flying UK visit
It's a quick one, but Rich Webb will be back in England during the first two weeks of August - and it's not just the disappointing British summer that's got him there. More to come.
Ole!
Melbourne bass player Ric Navarro has joined the band. The first gig with the new line up will be at Kashmir. See above.
