So we're doing our first appearance at the Melbourne Cabaret Festival this year - and bookings are now open for our shows on Saturday July 24 and Sunday July 25 at the South Melbourne Town Hall. So get bookin'!

The Cabaret show we've put together is called Blokes Don't Sing, and we've turned the comedy element up to 11 for a raucous, relentless night of fun that went off like a frog in a sock at our preview show last month.

Adele from Breaking Even Reviews happened to drop by for the preview show - here's a little snippet from her review:

"Do you ever get that feeling, as you are watching or listening to a great performer, when your heartbeat increases and the bottom of your stomach falls away? The feeling that usually accompanies a Tim Minchin song or a great ballad at a rock concert? Well Suade can make you feel that way for the whole hour and 15 minutes they were on stage. Apart from my aching smile and laugh muscles, the hardest part about this show was picking a stand out moment."

Check out the rest of the preview review at Breaking Even Reviews. Hope to see you at the town hall!

Loz: prize on the eyes.

So right at the end of April the lads took a trip up to the Gold Coast to do a bit of a workshop at Lindisfarne Secondary school and to compete at the first annual SingFest national a cappella competition.

In the small groups division alone, there were no less than 28 groups - many of which were sub-groups of the enormous and very impressive Blenders barbershop chorus. But at the end of the day, it was Melbourne groups in first, second and third place... Our buddies in Blue Notion took out third in a flurry of close harmony, and Ginger and Tonic took second in dangerously sexy style - their first public show after forming to have a crack at Australia's Got Talent.

We had to fly out before the results were announced... So when the Blue Notion guys rang us to tell us we'd won first place, there was all sorts of leaping and shouting and hugging at Melbourne Airport. Such a pity we couldn't stick around for the big ol' singalong session afterwards!

Apart from competing, we also took the chance to deliver a couple of workshops while we were there, and sang as much as we could in the open-air 'Chorditorium' - which gave us the chance to meet a whole bunch of other singers from QLD, northern NSW and around the country. Congrats to Brett Logan and the Blenders for putting on a sensational festival, and to all the other groups we saw for putting together a very high quality showcase of vocal music!

A fun TV appearance we did in Kwanjoo, South Korea. We did several tunes, we'll post them up as we get the time!
