MAX MURRAY, MILES MURRAY, MACEO WOOD, MICHAEL FENDEL, NEIL PORTER – THE Ms’n’N GONZO SHED JAM !!
The Shed was actually hibernating. A Summer break.
Then Max, a long time PBGB Family Member rang up to see if we might get a jam happening. Cunning devil he is, talked us into it.
Next thing we know Max, brother Miles, mates Maceo and Michael, and Neil were jamming in The Shed.
Max, Miles and Maceo are lifelong mates from Melbourne, and jam together from time to time. Michael, an exchange student from Germany, met the boys and has had a couple of jams with them. Neil had no idea what was about to hit him.
The spirit of Crazy Mama lives on !! Deja Vu 2007..... this is pure Gonzo Shed Jamming.
Max Murray is one of many SHED recidivists. Max was largely to blame for the CRAZY MAMA debacle way back in 2007. Now he’s back in THE SHED with brother Miles and mates Maceo and Michael. Neil Porter has bravely put his hand up for bass duties.
We turn the recorder on and this happens !
All the songs are original, indeed just improvised. No post recording work – you hear them as is, straight off the desk.
What have we got here ? Is it Mad Max meets THE SHED ? Is it The Ms’n’N Gonzo SHED Jam ?
Whatever.
It’s cool.
Well done guys.

Max Murray plays THE SHED’S very badly neglected Kawai surf guitar and contributes random vocal utterings.
Miles Murray plays TDK-4 drums.
Maceo Wood plays guitar.
Michael Fendel tickles THE SHED”S beautiful 1971 Fender Rhodes.
Neil Porter plays his heart out - off-the-cuff bass.
Includes a "live from The PBGB Shed" song - with Chris Ralfs on fretless bass and Peter Reid on drums. Some interesting time signatures, RnB and acoustic rock here - plus something a little harder :) PBGB
"Signs Of Life" All original songs on the second album by Neil Porter our guitarist and tech-geek - he has a unique style of writing and singing - high quality production. Just a good listen really. PBGB
