				Loddy was born in Sydney, but relocated to the Riverina early 2000. Picking up guitar at that time he started jamming with high school mates on old Guns n Roses, Ozzy Osbourne (and the like) covers as rhythm guitarist, before switching to drums to play for high school punk band ‘Jerbal’ Featuring Sheldon Holmes, Kris O’Sullivan and Ben Lee


Taking over from Ben Lee after he had to move Jerbal was an original band who traveled all across the riverina, winning several talent quests and battle of the band competitions. After jerbal had folded in 2003, Loddy ended up switching back to guitar because ‘you can turn that down’, and started to take it a bit more seriously.


By coincidence it seems, the father of one of his high school jam buddies invited him to jam with newly formed ‘Rising Damp’ blues band.Doing blues with a twist, Rising Damp went on to play till 2009 and folded under tragic circumstances.


Apart from the regular session gig, Loddy now works and writes tunes, and is in the process of putting a band together with long time friend, JW.


Big thanks goes out to ‘RAHJ CONKAS’ for all the production and drum beat in ‘As it Seems’, cheers bro!

				Greg Pritchard has been described as an enigma, and an unstoppable iconoclast, and a lot that’s not fit to print.


He calls himself a mongrel artist because of the eclectic nature of his work, cross-breeding written work, performance, with visual, digital and conceptual practice.


He has a PhD in literature, a Masters in Visual Art, majoring in Shadows and Performance, and part of a Science Degree. For the last seven years he has been working in Regional Arts administration in Western Victoria and Western NSW. Over the last few years he has conducted arts residencies in Singapore, Indonesia and most recently St Louis, Senegal. He is writing this Bio in Tanger, Morocco.

				Angela Coombs Matthews completed her studies at The Institute of the Arts, Australian National University, Canberra in 1997 majoring in Photomedia, and submajoring in Painting and Printmaking.


Since then she has been working as a Professional Photographer, a Picture Framer and a Photography and Art Tutor.


In her Paintings and Prints, Angela manipulates lines, colours, textures, shapes and forms in a way which refers to and re-imagines landscape. Her work is not a realistic portrayal of a place, but rather an essence, and a response to her feelings and emotions.


Currently Angela is undertaking a figurative journey concentrating more on drawing, along with painting and printing.
