This winter in Australia, The Vagrants

Hello Again, Long time no write, sorry. Now that we are back from our European tour, I want to say thanks to all the people that came to see The Vagrants play, had a beer with us, gave us a place to stay, and for all the musicians in The Vagrants, and the bands that played with us, especially The On Fires. It is always a great night when you are playing with us. A quick update as to what The Vagrants are doing at the moment. All of the songs that I have written have always been written on an acoustic guitar. I didn't plan it that way, it is just the way it seems to happen. So now Renate and I are doing some acoustic shows. We have played a house party already and we are gearing up to do some more acoustic shows in and around Melbourne and then a bit in NSW, SA and QLD. We are also in the middle of writing new music as well. The new material will definitely be more diverse and we hope to not travel down roads we have already been down. We are Vagrants at heart!!! The other major item on our list is that Renate and I are working our asses off to make our small, but growing all too quickly, art/ gifts/ import/ greeting card company www.iqartcards.com. This company has been going for 12 years and helped to fund the beginning of The Vagrants and is dear to our hearts. It is art, it is helping artists, and helped us to stay sane/ insane during the day. Just wanted to say hi, hope you are all well, and let me know if you want to do a gig with The Vagrants (acoustic or electric) here in Australia before I head overseas in November. Cheers, Steve

The Vagrants, Can't take anymore

So the CD launch of The Vagrants new CD STAND UP , has come and gone. We have had more airplay than imagined, great reviews and really fantastic response from the crowd at our gigs.
THANK YOU!!!!!!

A lot of people just keep asking what is the song "Can't Take Anymore" all about? Well firstly, have a look at the lyrics at:

There are some songwriters that believe that "People should get their own meaning from a song". To tell you the truth, I believe that in general, (not always) but that is just a way for a songwriter to get more people like his songs. F*$% THAT!!! I really want people to know what I think. LOVE OR HATE IT!!!!

This song is about all the bullshit advertising that is up in our faces in the most pristine places. ON the slopes in ski resorts, on the roads, on your computer screen pop ups, on TV, radio, and even in state and national forests. AHHHHHHHHHHH

I may write the songs, but Renate Ludwig the lead singer of The Vagrants reads thru all the lyrics and picks the ones that she loves. She picks songs she is passionate about. So I can tell you she sings this with a passion that I am unable to do, and I thank her for that.

I can't take anymore!!!!!
