Thanks to everyone who entered, I wish I could give all of you guys a copy of the album (cos it rocks). Unfortunately I only have three though. I picked the winners using a random number generator and they are:
- Kapusi Gábor
- Paul Wright
- Derek Lavery
I will contact you for your address info via email and get them off to you this week. Congrats!
For anyone that didn’t win and is still keen to get a hold of the album, the physical album is available on amazon now as well as the mp3 version.

So it’s not going to be a November 08 release
“Uh….the Album’s done….MMMMKay..?
Should be out early February. Sorry about the early misinformation (!) My distributor thinks the album will have a better chance if released at this later date, plus something to do with the prospects of radio-play here in Australia. If we put it out early November we’d stand little chance of it making any kind of splash at that point on radio…
I’m really excited for those who care to hear this thing since it’s my first ‘solo’ album and it’s so long overdue. So hang in there all y’all and thanks for reading…”

“Umläut will hit the stage with jazz punks, Sex on Toast and New York composer David Shea for a night of pop experimentation that for the first time sees Bär McKinnon and David Shea on the same bill since they appeared on Mr Bungle’s seminal debut album. Not to be missed. Friday 13th June and The Evelyn, Brunswick St, Fitzroy.”
