Having followed Rob and Jim through their non-Oils work I would be very excited to see what Martin might do.

I would curious what some of your favorite side project or post-Oils records have been.

I just missed Bones in DC last year - anyone tracking his work with Garrison Starr or elsewhere?

Rob is so prolific that it often hurts paying those import prices to get his output here in the US.  I really love the Hirst & Greene album and the DVD concert even more so (not sure all versions had that).  The Angry Tradesmen's latest is fast becoming a favorite, too.  I adore Jim's record.

Best wishes, particularly to those in Victoria and Queensland -

Roger

When I spoke to Martin after a Ghostwriters show in 2007 I
got the
impression that he didn't really want to be tied down
to anything at that
time.  He did the Political Animal album and tour but said
he didn't want to
be a full-time Ghostwriter.  I guess it's the same with
the Angry Tradesmen.

He did say he was interested in recording an album of his
own, but at that
time (June 2007) couldn't decide what sort of thing he
wanted to do.  Maybe
he still hasn't.

Anyone know why Martin is not a member anymore? I

guess I 

never did hear anything since he was sort of

"added" to the Tradesmen.
