#11 Nov 09 - O DECEIT - Review by Simone - Beat Magazine (Melb)'Lindsay's distinctive voice recalls M Ward or Henry Wagons; the song is beautiful but it's the voice that will stay with you. He plucks at his guitar with a feather light hand and sings a rich, quavering folk song, with just the faintest, almost gospel-like harmonies. Lovely.
#26 Oct 09 - A very special show to announce for this coming November in Melbourne...Lindsay Phillips, Tom Woodward (The Orphanage) and Fergus McAlpin (Silver City Highway) together onstage trading songs. There will be two rounds during which these three diverse and well seasoned songwriters put their best material to the test - and the possibility of them coming together for an encore (??). It all goes down at the Wesley Anne, Northcote, on Sunday 22nd Nov. Doors 8:30pm. DON'T MISS IT.In other news, Lindsays' debut self titled EP is now available for download, and there are roughly 40 copies of this available to purchase on Cd. This will NOT be reissued, so get in quick!! His 2nd EP 'Aileen' should be available within a few days, and is also on the endangered species list.
