A podcast about a band in progress - which involves less sex, drugs, and rock n roll than our preteen selves imagined. Dan and Tony chat weekly about the processes of song-writing, instrument-playing, audio-producing, plus the pains of getting a five-piece band together once a week to practice for just like, four hours. Dan and Tony are two members of the Melbourne-based indie rock band Colouring Cats. Join them as they discuss their lives in and out of the band as it stumbles (hopefully) towards fame, recognition, success.

Episode 26: Legitimize our drinking - A conversation with Joel Morrison from the Old Bar
Talking with Joel Morrison, co-owner of the Old Bar The Old Bar is an iconic Melbourne venue - it’s the place where many a big band has got its start, and the place where big bands come back to play a small venue for their most dedicated fans. Joel Morrison co-owns the place, and books the bands, new and old, that play there. We discuss how to book your first gig, how to approach a venue booker, how venue bookers choose bands, how to get a support slot, and of course, what it’s like to own a bar.
