of-joy-and-sorrow asked: Hey Jamie! Is there any videos or audio recording of you performing The Gift Of Years? I seen you sing it at the Tim Barry show at the Arthouse a while back. I'd love to hear it again. Actually, that night at the Arthouse, I came up to you at the back and asked you to sign the Thieves 7" - you looked surprised, haha. Cheers.

THE END It is with sadness that we announce Break Even have decided to part ways. Over time the commitments in our lives other than the band have become more important and despite our best efforts to persist with the band after all the writing and touring over the last few years we have to…
All things must end my friends & it’s sad to see you guys go....

Facebook event page for Sydney show! →
here is the facebook event page for the Blackwire Records All Ages show in Sydney with JEN BUXTON, RUN SQUIRREL & MYSELF (support tba)
PS I haven’t been on Facebook for nearly 2 years now so this is new to me (keep up with the times old man) but what’s with the “like” a band so you can hear their song or view their clip etc? It seems a little forceful doesn’t it?...

Recording date is booked! Monday the 9th of April. I’m going to Hobart to record with Lincoln Le Fevre which will be great. I love his record “30watt Heart” and I’m really excited about working with him for my record.
I know it’s taken a long time for this to get momentum but it’s happening now!
thanks so much to those of you who are still listening to and...
coffeeslot asked: If you're touring Adelaide and need another gig ever hit me up, I'm helping Greg (Spiral Objective) Wood run a space in McLaren Vale, the Black Cockatoo Art House and it's heaps good... Limited capacity but very 'intimate' venue with lounge seating. Ask Jennings about it, he's played here with Streams of Whiskey.

Thanks for all of the kind words regarding ADITF everyone. It warms my heart :) I’ve answered a couple of questions re our break up but to be honest I’d rather not answer anymore at the moment as it’s still kind of sinking in for me (& the rest of us)
I hope you all understand :)
Thanks again!
much love

Anonymous asked: Sucks so much abot ADITF, you guys will be missed. Is there going to be a final Melbourne show? Maybe a set at the Australia Day show at The Tote?
A DEATH IN THE FAMILY band is no longer. To cut to the chase, we’ve hit a cross-roads (or dead-end as it seems). Each of our lives and circumstances are vastly different than they were a few years ago and as a group we’ve simply decided now is a good time to move on, rather than pushing on. As a band we’ve done more than we ever imagined and made life long friends in many...
