BBQ (Breaker Bay Quartet)

I currently perform in the Breaker Bay Quartet. We perform mostly jazz standards, and available for hire in the Wellington region.
We can perform as a quartet (piano/vocals/bass/drums), as a Trio minus the drummer, or as Piano/bass duo.

The Inhalers

And the rock star said "we can't be defined in terms of anything that's gone before...
So the Store Detective from The Other People's Ideas Hypermarket said "Then you won't mind me looking through your bags then, sir!"
Well, speaking only for songs that I wrote for the Inhalers - only the words and music were original. Everything else was stolen!
We produced two albums:

Left: Nudist on the Beach of Love, 1989, Vinyl and cassette
Right: Holy Family Three Pack, 1991, CD and cassette

Track Listing - Holy Family Three Pack

So - you've got this far. You'll be needing to know this, then...

  1. Top Town was Rigged - If you're from New Zealand, the title says it all...
  2. Born to Boogie - I was born to boogie, and you're gonna die for it...
  3. Daddy's Shaggin' Wagon - ...if she's rockin' don't come knockin'...
  4. The Sozzled ghost of Carlos (surname unsupplied) - the towering Inferno set to music
  5. The Man/God Who was Craig Scott - know who he was? No? Don't worry about it.
  6. Blessed be the Echo of Your First Manly Footsteps - Epic! Romantic! Tragic! - a young lawyer falls in love with a plant...
  7. The Last Surviving Vegetarian - a dilemma - your plane crashes in the Andes, and you know what you have to do to survive, but you're a vegan...

  9. I Wrecked My Ship on Stadium Rock - the dying gasp of the National Telethon - and we were there!
  10. Old Testament First XV Fullback - I don't want to talk about it (it's too bizarre)
  11. Welcome to the Penal Colony of Teenage Stardom - a murderer is sentenced to a life of being one of Kylie Minogue's backing dancers, but escapes on a raft made of Kylie Albums, takes up with a Nun, who becomes a reporter and writes a best seller. Epic
  12. Love on the Rocks - "I've got all the time in the world, so make it fast, 'cause the only thing that loves me is in the bottom of this glass..."
  13. Power Station Family Robinson - they met, they married, raised a family and divorced, all on the two hundred metre high chimney of the New Plymouth Power Station. "I spied there a fair maiden, said 'wouldst thou marry me? We'll have open day forever, on top of old smokey"
  14. Nudist on the Beach of Love - "the sun is going to roast the parts I value most..."
  15. This is Not an Encore - the Fiord of Truth Meets the surf of regrets
