ABOUT THE SONG: So . . . you’re travelling down a dusty red road with that big blue sky on your bonnet. The red dirt turns to gravel, the gravel turns to bitumen and you’re stopped by your first set of traffic lights. Daaammm! You gaze down at you

WHAT DO WE DO? MOSS is a five-piece rock band that pumps it out with songs of social and political conscience. “Modern day griots” with a sound that gives a “hat tip to the seventies”. With decades of experience, you’ll hear the road in their music delivering something very unique in today’s contemporary music scene. Unapologetically a square peg in a round hole. Imagine; “Midnight Oil meets the Aztecs at Sunbury” WHO ARE WE? Suzie Craig: Lead singer Mark Simpkin: Guitar / Backing Vocals Ian (NED) Kelly: Guitar, Keyboards / Backing Vocals Justin Wynn: Bass Guitar Dave Anthony: Drums / Backing Vocals WHAT DO THEY SAY ABOUT US? “Their performance interwove inspired lyrics with visuals and performance.The excellent songwriting of MOSS goes straight to core of what is happening in our times.

They are highly creative, collaborative, and what they are saying is worth listening to.” Ref; Naomi Ebert Smith, Co-Chair, Graham F Smith Peace Foundation “Moss writes and performs songs that have a little more to them than the steady diet of regurgitated emotional claptrap” Ref: John Schumann; Composer, Performer & Writer “MOSS’s forte is in writing songs that attract our attention then resonate with us every time we hear them familiar, effective styles coupled with uniquely presented sentiments of consequence inspiring us to contemplate as we’re tapping our feet. This is how a band stands out in this industry.” Jac Dalton “. Modern music as art with a message has a place in our nation and Moss may be at the forefront of this movement” Ref: Peter Withy; Marketing consultant and co-founder of KWP! “.Projected images behind the band illustrate the subject matter of most of the songs and guide you through their journey. The music has an unapologetic hat tip to the 70’s.

Story behind the song
ABOUT THE SONG: So . . . you’re travelling down a dusty red road with that big blue sky on your bonnet. The red dirt turns to gravel, the gravel turns to bitumen and you’re stopped by your first set of traffic lights. Daaammm! You gaze down at your beloved boots, that have brought back mementos of where you’ve been. Then turn to your rear view mirror for that final glimpse of those images you can’t put into words. If you’re feeling the tug and the collision as you look back at that vision; then chances are you’ve got the Spinifex Blues.
Lyrics
INTRO: VERSE 01: It’s good to be home. But that was just a lie Missed calls on the phone Just wanna say good bye Did some things spread my wings They taught me to fly. CHORUS 1: Grass stuck in my boots My minds starting to bruise Gotta get out back, I got the spinifex blues. VERSE 02: Time stood still; I need clear vision Now I’m back in this place I feel the tug the collision There’s another place and it’s in my rear vision; Time to make a decision CHORUS 2: Grass stuck in my boots My minds starting to bruise Gotta get back out I got the spinifex blues. GUITAR SOLO: PIANO SOLO: BRIDGE: I got my jewels they’ve gotta shine They need to lustre all the time, but I need to get high. OUTRO: Time stood still; I need clear vision Now I’m back in this place I feel the tug the collision There’s another place and it’s in my rear vision; Time to make a decision; about my rear vision RALL ------------------- GRANDE Yeh, Oooh Yeh Yeh, Oooh Yeh
