Kristina is also involved in a collaborative online project called Covers (link below). Krissy says, "In everything that I do I am sharing a different part of myself. Music is just one avenue of feeling and expression for me, and I think it makes others feel too which is why music is such a vast, interactive and fulfilling passion. Whether it's shows, collaborations or records, it's all for us to share, smile and boogie."

They are not a country band; they are not a folk band; they are not punk band; they are not a vocal harmony band they are not a psychedelic band. They are all of those things and more; genuinely a band like no other that you have seen. Banjos, dobros as well as their untraditional hammer and chain have carried the intensity of their notorious live shows through the US, Canada, UK, Europe and of course all over Australia. Whilst currently in the studio working on a third album for release next year the band have some busy months ahead. In this video they perform 'Run Billy Run' from their album 'The Drink, The Devil & The Dance'. www.graveyardtrain.com.au www.facebook.com/graveyardtrain JOHNNY MACKAY - Chasing The Sun Johnny Mackay of Children Collide and Electric Smile Band performing his acoustic solo song, Chasing The Sun. http://www.facebook.com/ElectricSmileBand?ref=ts http://www.facebook.com/ChildrenCollide MATT BAILEY - Boys Of The Harbour Matt Bailey (Paradise Motel, SIR, Lee Memorial) recently released his second album, Book of Illumination, presenting eight new songs of telekinesis, tarot cards, faded movie queens and sinister imaginary friends from deep inside the heart and mind of a former seminarian.

The past 6 months have been all about recording a debut album with Nick Huggins (Two Bright Lakes fold) and whilst we wait excitedly for the release, we can catch Staffan at his most endearing through this series of intimate shows in The Grace Cellar.

In the words of bikefest: "Scripted and shot in collaboration with the bike riding community, the clips set a new benchmark for dialogue between road users. Offering high production values with a street sensibility, the clips playfully suggest that fear may be the pothole we all need to get around on our journey toward road harmony." http://www.melbournebikefest.com.au/once-bitten Our intention was to utilise the vampire myth in a new context and make three films which were all very different and distinct from each other in style.
