“Sweet distortion…” After playing in Darwin and Adelaide earlier this year, NT supergroup (yes, “supergroup”, the NT has more than one!), Red Plum & Snow have finally released their first CD, ’20 Power Hits’. Made up of Darwin-based musicians Kris Keogh (formerly Blastcorp), Gretchen Ennis (Straight Skirt, Crimplene) and Ruben Maher (ex-The Weathermen, Scarlet Revenge, Fairweather Dolls), Red Plum & Snow have chosen to release their EP direct to online. Find it at Band Camp. And check out a cool gig pic here.

“Goodbye. It’s time for me let go of this Blastcorp project. I think I’ve got creative differences with myself… “
Word through from the Blastcorp camp… After ten years of making “glitch noise, ambient calmness, washing machine music” and “acoustic love songs”, NT musician Kris Keogh is finally putting his solo electronic project Blastcorp to bed. Thanking a myriad of  friends, fans, collaborators, supporters and more in a group email, his parting gesture is to release a compilation album of 20 songs of work made from 2000-2009. Download it from here.

Of the future, Kris says, “I’m not sure what’s next, but expect a new project soon…” Best of luck Kris.
