Compliments of Gus Had a great rehearsal last night - wrote and rehearsed THAT song - the final song for the album! We're convinced that we now have the songs that we need for a great album, which is a great feeling to have. Tracking drums for the last 5 songs in 12 days time, then it's all systems go. And when I say all, I mean ALL!

So, you wrote a song last night? Did you come with a few ideas? Did you have a few lines of lyrics written or a chord sequence or did you just start from scratch? I am fascinated to know how you guys do that! I have so much trouble writing with someone else, and writing to a deadline. Maybe it takes years of sitting in a room with someone to be able to do that??

Compliments of Gus Hey everyone, thanks for all your help over the last week in recruiting people to the Compliments of Gus cause! We only need another 305 now to get to 1000 'fans'.

Yeah, I know, I know. It's sad, but somebody had to do it. And we don't even have a social justice bone in our bodies! Well, maybe a few. Must have been our dashing good looks that got him to make the switch... :)

Compliments of Gus Want to see something funny? Well, check out this link. It's our very first website, and for some reason on the internet, nothing ever goes away. I think it was last updated 10 years ago in late 1999. We can't ever remember how to log in and change it, so chances are it will be there until Jesus comes back, and possibly even longer (not sure of my theology on that point...)

Well, we're back safe and sound from Black Stump. Thanks heaps to everyone that came and saw us play, entered our competition, unwittingly joined our mailing list, and bought the CD. We had heaps of fun, and got to see a lot of very ace bands. ...

June 22 at 4:09pm

Catherine at 4:52pm June 22

Oh that is brilliant! My favourite bits are your use of the word 'ace', your reference to your Popasaurus (hahahaha still laughing) and this line: "Here is a checkbox for you to check, just in case you're getting bored."
And, I no longer feel so ignorant for referring to you as COG sometimes since on every page of this glorious site, you have the letters C O G revolving in the top right corner! GOLD!!! No, make that PLATINUM!

Ness at 4:54pm June 22

Flippin hilarious!!!!!! Thanks for the laugh!!

Luke at 7:05am June 24

That is GOLD!

Compliments of Gus Great rehearsal today, but we decided we still need one more song for the record... Hmm.

June 20 at 5:01am

David at 8:51pm June 22

Called... No L. Now, good luck with writing a lyric. Go with No Elle if it's easier!

Compliments of Gus One more rehearsal this Saturday to fine tune the last 4 or 5 songs for the new record, then back into the studio to get this album finished. Already have band tracks recorded for 7 songs - can't wait to get it all finished and out the door!

Who indeed, Hannah, who indeed... (I'm guessing that anyone who knows us will be able to guess quite easily... and that includes some other people in this thread!)

Chris - do you mean are the crowds we play to at Stump bigger than the crowds in Melbourne? Yes, they are, simply because we don't have any festivals down here that we play at. By far ... Read Morethe biggest crowds that we play to, though, are at Easterfest in Toowoomba, which gets over 20,000 people to it each year. Not that we've played to all 20,000... I would imagine 5,000 would be the biggest we've played to.

Hannah at 8:40pm June 22

I'm guessing... Justin or Jared??? If it's Justin, then man- u are my hero.

Compliments of Gus Walt Disney said: “We don’t make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies.” I kinda think that we approach Compliments of Gus albums in the same way - we're not here trying to make a dollar, but we need dollars to do what we do well. Thanks for your support everyone - it's the only way we can do what we do.
