He's the full-time drummer for Courtney Barnett, and has played in upwards of 40 other bands. Most recently he played drums on Jess Ribeiro's album "LOVE HATE", recorded Jade Imagine's debut "Stay Awake", and played on releases from Gumboot, Super American Eagle (alongside Brent DeBoer of The Dandy Warhols), Cannon and Baby Blue. Debut EP Crushing Highs & Amazing Lows was recorded at Revolver Studios in Portland, Oregon with producer Collin Hegna of The Brian Jonestown Massacre. It showcased a range of styles – slacker rock, indie-pop and alt-country. 2019’s EP Breakfast At Sassy’s draws from the swinging 60's, psychedelic 70's and indie-pop of the 00's, and was again recorded in Portland with Hegna. 2022 will finally see L.A. Mood’s debut album release, titled A Print Out Of The Sun. It was written and recorded across Melbourne, Portland and Castlemaine, and again mixed by Hegna. The title is inspired by a longing for the sun in places where it can seem hard to find. It’s an opportunity to take lightness with you wherever you go. The artwork is by Mary Streepy. A Print Out Of The Sun is a welcome statement from one of Australia’s most experienced musicians, both on stage and in the studio. Effortless production meets confident songwriting. With a national tour planned upon release, 2022 will see The Mood very bright indeed.
