Part 1: Join Tony and Shippa as they try to reconnect with the Disconnected Genius, aka Jamie O’Keefe, and chat to him about the lack of connectivity, and also the lack of genius when it comes to the drummer in the room (Shippa, don’t be so hard on yourself). You’ll hear some rip snorting tracks and gain some insight into some mathematical dilemmas that have been keeping this Genius in a conundrum.

Part 2: Tony and Shippa discuss new and old tracks from current Indie Artists, former Indie Artists and a classic or two. On this podcast, we introduce Blow Up Hollywood (USA), Dog Trumpet (Sydney), Field Monuments (Melbourne), Glitterfox (Portland, USA), The Zimmermen (Melbourne), Kisschasy (Melbourne/LA), Nord Electric (Oxford UK & Italy), Raising Ravens (Sydney), Sean Power and The Main Street Band (Brisbane), Steve Lane (Bendigo) and Hunx and His Punks (LA, USA), with Shippa’s Surprise telling him that he can be so cruel, all the way from the East London desert!
