The Aspinauts have been absolutely chuffed to have Paul back with us as drummer.  Every one of the Aspinauts is a unique character and Paul and his drumming were missed by the various Aspinauts who kept lamenting his absence.  Whilst he was still producing our first album so still kind of hanging out now and then with us, it’s great to have him back with the team and just in time for two shows of Footsteps of a Nobody, the first at Spencers Live on Friday Aug 14th and the other at Wodonga Civic Centre on Saturday Sept 12th.    Welcome back Paul.  We’ll go easy on ya

On SATURDAY 12th SEPTEMBER 09 Footsteps of a Nobody, will play at Wodonga Civic Centre, 106 Hovell St, Wodonga.

Combining, gestural signing, avant garde poetry, powerfully evocative characterisations, and the theatrical musical surrealism, Footsteps of a Nobody will escort you to the heights and depths of our shared humanity.

Time: 7.30pm for 8pm start (show runs 8-9pm and after the show there will be a discussion forum with Donna).
