Me Kev flying another Mission - behind the wheel with imaginary wings!

I’m heading South this week – but last Saturday I played a great Protest event with wonderful Passionate people who care for our future, to save our Rivers, land and our children's future –

So I ask you to Join "Lock The Gate Alliance" >

I saw Methane gas bubbling up through the Condamine river -Due to the fraking that is Coal Seam Gas Mining - Our governments are making money out of the devastation that is in escalating progress - without a care about the aftermath –

Our politicians are a disgrace!! - Speak up - think of your children's future - join the Lock the Gate Alliance - this stupidity must be stopped !!!

Other Musicians were Ash Gundwell - Reg Mombassa and his band and many more. >http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidlowe1970/9281628690/

News - Deep Diving 10/6/13

In Jakarta
  
 "What Have You Been Doing?" - You may ask? - answer>

Well - I've been doing 30 dives at 14 Fathoms!! 
Yes you heard right - no Bull!! - Why? - Because the radiation from my cancer treatment burned out my saliva glands = No saliva = decaying teeth, and I mean – Get on to it now !!

I require Hyperbaric Treatment before surgery to eliminate the possibility of contracting a disease of the jawbone called Osteoradionecrosis, which is caused by radiated bone being exposed to the atmosphere - Very Nasty!!! -- jawbone rots and its very ugly stuff, not good look!!
 SO they're going to have to do it in stages to make sure the gums heal.

 I have had 30 treatments in the Wesley Hospital Brisbane. Having to drive into Bris 1 hr 40 min., then back home, 5 days a week to get into a chamber with 8 other lovely oldies in different shades of decay, - sit reading / meditating for two hours - digesting Hi potency oxygen while wearing a space type helmet at 14 fathoms. Simulated of course! - Amazing - weird and many other feelings!

 – No fish or tentacles at the portholes unfortunately – {I did suggest they add some such aesthetics for our entertainment - [got funny looks]}. -  It was great meeting older folk from many different walks of life, and we actually bonded in a very short time – a most enjoyable experience from those lovely people, Nurses & Staff.

After this treatment I've noticed my beard is growing back where the radiation had stopped my sideburns from growing. whoopie!! -----so it’s working on me. --- Elvis impersonations are back on the agenda!!

All very trying and complicated but needs to be done – I mean - I don’t want to be the Gummy Guitarist.
TOO much information? – Well I’ve had not much time for anything else - so that’s what’s been happening. 
 But !!- I do get to play the Great Jimi Hendrix Show this weekend in Melbourne with a bunch of Great Players on the 14th of June coming at The Palms at Crown.

Then 2 Hendrix shows in July -5th at the Factory Theater - and 6th at the Concourse in Sydney.
I hope you will come and Celebrate The Great Jimi Hendrix's works of art with us who were all inspired buy his Great Creative Spirit!

Cheers Kevin

Watch Me Get Painted - All Over Now !!

Hi, - - it was a chance meeting - he said "Do you mind ?" I said " How long will it take, I'm on my way home and it’s about a 10 hour drive from here so I can't be waiting around".  -

"Ok then, hang on to your seat - I'll rev it up, - don't be alarmed when all you see is a blur - that'll be me - so I won't keep you long,  just keep as still as you can - OK? "

Intrigued by the thought of a human turning into a blur, I agreed - and this is what I saw happening – Look Here

So what do you think – will it have a chance? - - LOL !!

I’m Ringin' Ma Bell, Like the Town Criers used to do Way Way Way Back –  now we use the internet Ding Dong – I'm Ringin' this Thing!!!

The news being next week on March 15th were playing at the Flying Saucer Club in Melbourne, so wear your Alien dancing shoes and come to be transported in Rhythm -Rhyme and FunkinBluesRock  

On Saturday 16th we’ll be playing at The Forth Valley Blues Festival near Launceston Tasmania.  my first time there so really looking forward to the fun.

Back in the silver winged module on Sunday the 17th to play a Melbourne afternoon show at The Williamstown R SL . That’s always a great crowd, so be early to get a good position.

Then we head back home where I chain myself into “The Bunker” of my Vibrating House Studio and keep cookin' my next dishes up for you – its all the rage you know – Cooking – everywhere on the bloody Tele - people cookin – Bitchy “My Kitchen Rules” etc – introduced false drama galore, it seems that’s a Very important ingredient to keep em viewing.  

Not me - I’m chained in the Bunker wallowing in my on real Drama, its smelling great to my ears, and I’m aiming that it will Tantalize yours and live Comfortably in your Heart of favorites.


I can hear you saying – “Kev, it’s been being a very slow bake ”
Maybe - so but the joy is being instilled & infused with all the intrigue I can muster to fascinate - -. 

Hope to see you at a show.

Love n Cheers Kevin

Almost Blown Away


Hi there,
I was on tour in Melbourne when Cyclone Oswald hit our home up in the Maleny Mountains.
I’d been watching the news coverage as it past through Bundaberg reeking allsorts of havoc heading for where my family were so I was worried.  I went to the airport to get on the flight I’d booked, but planes were not landing in Maroochydore & the highway was cut between Brisbane and our place so I stayed with my friends Tyke n Lou .  Never had a cyclone got so far south keeping such intensity. The Phones were dead, we usually have good mobile coverage at home, not now, I couldn’t check to see if things were all ok and the TV coverage now had it passing right over the sunshine coast – our territory. No contact for 3 days – then Millie called – she’d driven to higher ground to receive mobile connection saying over the windy background noise that they had not had power or phones for 4 days & they were taking quite a battering, the worst she’d ever experienced since our move up.
Thankfully they were ok, shaken but great news to me.

I managed to get a flight out the next day and was met by Mill & family at the airport and saw lots of damage that had occurred on the way home, mostly up rooted trees, lots of debris & swollen creeks.
A couple of days & nights still without power were very relaxing with candles a glow and no TV sniping at us .
So It was great to be home, we still had one - unlike some unfortunate folk who we really feel for.

Back to he mission -
My next tour with The Express members - Harry “Thunder Thumb Brus and Paul “ The Feel Dealer” Wheeler is back down to Melbourne to play at The Flying Saucer Club www.flyingsaucerclub.com.au  on Friday the 15th March. A new venue for us so please come and join us enjoy it.

Then on the 16th we fly to Launceston Tasmania to play The Forth Valley Blues festival
www.forthvalleyblues.com  should be great – I’ve never done that one, so really looking forward to the experience.

Back to Melbourne Sunday morning the 17th to play an afternoon show at my favorite RSL the Williamstown RSL where we always have a full house – so get there early to find a good spot.

A reminder to check out my shop at www.kevinborich1.com - the new Girly singlet’s are selling like hot cakes – a a aand they do look hot !!  And there’s my CD’s DVD’s and T-Shirts.

Thanks for your support – And I hope to see you.

Love n Cheers Kevin

KB's January Update


Clowns Tour Update -
Due to promotional issues this test tour is being rescheduled to later in the year. The NSW dates are canceled.

We've had great positive reaction from crowd attendances for the band, singer Vince Contarino & myself enjoyed playing together so the promoters have 
decided that a PR strategy to introduce the concept and its members be undertaken to let people know Who & what the Clowns are about. I will let you know its progress down the track.
My next shows are with the Kevin Borich Express featuring Harry Brus on Bass & Paul Wheeler on Drums

March Fri 15th - The Flying Saucer Club Elstinwick Melbourne [its a small intimate venue so book early]
March Sat 16th - The Forth Valley Blues Festival Tasmania
March Sun 17th- Williamstown RSL  [afternoon show]
Meanwhile I'll be back in the studio working on tracks for my new CD. And don't forget the store is still open with lots of my Cd's form the past at www.kevinborich1.com
All the Best & Cheers n Love Kevin
