Gertrudes Brown Couch Singer/songwriter David Cosma started playing guitar as a kid in the most unusual fashion, he picked up a right handed guitar and held it left handed! Persisting with this unorthodox method throughout his musical career, David has now developed this into his trademark sound. Cosma's debut solo release "Hanging From Aldo" is a collection of stripped back, beautifully arranged indie/acoustic songs, recorded, produced and mixed by acclaimed producer Rob Feaster. Elements of accordion, keys, percussion, dogs, creaking chairs and harmonies fill the album and create a musical journey made for lazy Sunday afternoons and highway cruising. David Cosma will launch his much anticipated debut release with his band on Friday 29th August at Gertrudes Brown Couch with special guests Damon Smith and Matt Joe Gow. Tickets $10 on the door.

The Hopetoun hotel was alight with punter interest on a chilly winter’s Tuesday night as cherry-sweet Melbourne rockers, the Basics mingled with Sydney favourites, Cuthbert and the Nightwalkers. Soulshine’s Max Easton was on the scene to keep track.
