  Stylin Up and Fete De La Musique...

I can't wait to bust out some sweet, sweet tunes with my boy KPS and DJ GiGsta at Stylin Up. I hope there are some strong people in the front row cos I plan on surfing that crowd like I'm one of those surfing dogs that always comes on at the end of the news.

I am watching Ellen dance at the moment, and I seriously wonder whether she wakes up most days and just goes, "Oh god, not again...."

I'm also looking at a glue-stick and it reminds me of a giant lip-balm. One would hope I never get those two mixed up, no matter how non-toxic UHU is...

Also, the dangerous duo of Disco-Matt MC Esquire III and Dinnertime Duke will be putting on one hell of a show for Fete De La Musique in Brisbane on the 21st June. WHERE exactly, I'm not sure yet. Most likely in some gutter somewhere, rapping out of a cardboard megaphone with an empty coffee cup in front of us. If you're lucky, you might even get a guest appearance from a hobo asking for change...

A hobo called Disco-Matt MC Esquire III.

Stylin Up 09: 30th May, 2009 - Inala, Brisbane - Be there!

Peace.

H20....

I've spent the last couple of days at SeaWorld filming a few more episodes of H20 Season 3.

My goal is to one day have an unofficial Russian FanSite for my Dolphin-Trainer character, Laurie. That would be ACE! I could be saving dolphins by sculling Vodka and dancing in the cross-armed, kicking style....

I've scheduled a mini-tour of Brisbane for the last week of May. I'm going to be in town helping out my boy KPS in one of his songs at the Stylin' Up 09 Festival, and then I'll be MC'ing LiveWired at the powerhouse on the 31st May. I love LiveWired. For anyone who hasn't gone... GO! It's free, and a perfect way to utilise the last few moments of a hangover.

I'm also planning a series of Webisodes called: "The Adventure of Disco-Matt & Mr Chips". It's about a chip-dealer and an aspiring MC who's addicted to chips. Good times. Special guests include: Twisties, Cheetohs, Burger-Men.... It's a star-studded line-up, really.

And thanks to everyone who partied with me on Easter Super Sunday! God DAMN I Love ESS! Nothing says, "Thanks Jesus", like watching Bizzy attempt to eat 40 McNuggets.

For all those interested.... He did it. Next tartget = 100 McNuggets. The rules: No spewing for 24 hours. Anyone who has succeeded in eating 100 McNuggest in one sitting, please contact me... now! I need to know what we're up against!

I'm out, and don't forget to 'rate' me at Triple J Unearthed:

Rate me on triple j Unearthed!

Peace.

 THE SQUIZ....

I was lucky enough to be a guest panelist on SBS's new Sports quiz show "The Squiz" last night, and it was a great heap of fun!

The other guests were:

Stuart MacGill (Aussie Cricketer)
Anthony Field (Blue Wiggle)
Amy Taylor (Aussie Soccer player)
& Warwick Capper (Sydney Swans)

I'm not sure if the episode will make it to air, but filming it was definitely fun enough and I got one whole question right! That's right -- ONE. I won't spoil the surprise, but the question was about India.... and the olympics... and what their first gold medal was for.... and I said Shooting... and I was right.... *Spoiler Alert*.

Filming of H20 starts for me again next week, where I will no doubt be masquerading in a tight wetshirt and solving dolphin-related crimes again. I like filming H20 because once I wrap, I inevitably sneak into Seaworld and go on the rides before I go home. Although... there's something kind of sad about a 23-year-old riding roller-coasters by himself.

I have also dropped to an astonishing #736 on the Triple J Unearthed charts.... From #8 to #736. That's tough! Now I know how Victoria Beckham must have felt when she went from the Spice Girls to a solo artist.... Ha!

The making of the next EP has begun, so brace yo'self! But in the meantime, you can listen to Disco-Matt MC Esquire III's genius songs here by clicking the banner below:

Rate me on triple j Unearthed!

Or by downloading it from the "DOWNLOADS" section where I have also unashamedly put a clip of my McDonalds ad..... Ahhh, the life of an 'artist'.

Peace.

FIRST DAY...

It's the first day of Autumn!

I actually don't really care much for Autumn, other than that my birthday is during it. It's always been one of those seasons which doesn't really mean much.

The PROTOS Collective is going to have a roast tonight though! I'm thinking lamb. I went to the fish markets today and it was disgusting as usual. It's ALWAYS a let down. I don't know why I bother going back. EVERY time I think it's going to be better than the last time, but instead I end up shoving deep-fried shit into my mouth and wishing I'd just bought a sandwich. A sandwich with lettuce. And other ingredient.

Ingredients.

Disco-Matt MC Esquire III is currently trying to get gigs at the moment, but it's turning out surprisingly difficult! I think the reality of nobody employing a comic who's never done a music gig in his life is starting to sink in. So far, my next gig is in 2010.... NO shit! Ultimo Pyrmont Community Festival at this time, but in 2010!! I think my best chance from here is to become a busker in the Sydney Central Station tunnel.... or one of those guys with the portable PA and unicycle at Southbank. At least people will be forced to listen.....

Went to the Roxbury hotel last night and saw some good quality live comedy. It's a great night and everybody needs to start going to comedy that's close to home! Do it. It's fun.It's cheap. And it's fun.... and cheap. The three supports (John Cruikshank, Amanda Gray and my good friend, Lap Phan) did a fantastic job warming us up for Axis of Awesome, who did what they do best. Be the bearing of X & Y remarkability.

Now it's time for me to shove my product into your cheeks!

If you haven't listened to the new E.P, you should definitely do it.

 

NOW!

Oh yes....

  DISCO-MATT MC ESQUIRE III has taken the plunge and entered Triple J's Unearthed competition, and he desperately needs your help! Can you please 'rate' his songs....??? PLEASE???

Just click on the little banner below and listen, rate and review to your hearts content!

 Rate me on triple j Unearthed!

I would recommend rating it 5 stars out of 5, however I may be a touch biased....

I'm sorry that I always have to ask favours of you all. I don't know what's worse, Disco-Matt MC Esquire III constantly needing people's popularity votes, or Disco-Matt MC Esquire III constantly referring to himself in third person....

I need all the help I can get, so please tell as many people as you can!

Thanks ya'll.

Peace.

HISTORY BEGINS TODAY....

The New Start is here.

Believe the hype.

Seriously.

Please click the CD Cover below, or alternatively become a uber-loser for NOT listening to the biggest thing since T.A.T.U dropped their lesbian-inspired hits.

Believe it!

As you might be able to read, I've decided to expand my name to "Disco-Matt MC Esquire III". It might seem strange for most of you to read. Especially those of you unable to remember the FIRST TWO Disco-Matt MC Esquire's, but I figure The New Start = A New Beginning = A New Title to dominate proceedings with..... Ya hear?!

Click picture. Listen. Enjoy. Pay me out later.....

Peace.

THE ROAD TO LONDON....

I have decided that I'm going to the next Olympics. Not as a lame spectating sport-groupie, but as a full-blown Olympian.

The Sport in which I will compete? Swimming....

How on earth am I going to make the olympics in a sport that I am utterly HOPELESS in? Well - Observe the plan.... (Read More.....)

Wow....

Has it been THAT long?

You must forgive me though, because it was in fact my computer's fault that we haven't spoken in so long. The stupid power chord busted, and you have NO idea how difficult it is to get a new power chord for an old piece of shit laptop.

Since my last post, I've invested in a home brew kit. Yes! That's right! Homebrew..... I did this for two reasons. 1) Because....

In other news, myself and the team at 20 O'Connor st received a loving letter from some neighbours....

I recently had the "fortune" of going to Miami to audition for NBC's Last Comic Standing 6.

While I was completely expecting a fun trip, accompanied by the soul-destroying tolls of reality TV, what I didn't expect, was my housemate, and good friend, Gizmo, to sneak into my bag in the middle of the night, and come along for the ride.

Below is a personal photo-diary maintained by Gizmo for his trip. Sadly, Gizmo likes to talk in third person....

_______________________________________________

GIZMO DOES MIAMI

Fed up with getting no Mogwi-love in Sydney, and needing a break from his addictive partying lifestyle, Gizmo decided to grab his bags and set out to get some sweet, sweet American poon-tang.

He headed to the airport to say one last goodbye to Nick Sun. Gizmo says goodbye like most normal people, by simply waving and saying "bye", but Nick Sun had a different 'goodbye' in mind, taking it as one last chance to finger-pump Gizzy's crotch, while yelling "That's for making Gremlins 2, fool!"

Gizmo replied, saying "let's just be friends..." before setting off to the International Terminal....

I REALLY NEEDTO CHANGE MY PICTURE: Seriously.... I'm well aware of how old and ridiculous that picture up above is. Only problem is -- I don't know how to change it! I took a course in web design at Uni, and now I can't remember a damn thing about it!
Oh well - The main focus of this blog is to notify you ALL that I'm in plans to do a show at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival with Bart Freebairn next year.

There are days that go down in history as 'life-changing'.
Many of you will remember exactly where you were, and what you were doing, the moment that you heard about the events of September 11. Some of you will have lived through (and can remember) the first Moon-Landing, and most of you will remember the time I scored 84 off 56 balls against Terrace in the last GPS cricket game I ever played....
Life-changing stuff....
