Caterpillar Maze by Steve Grieve and The Mourners
Like our beautiful old bus, this new record has travelled a long and at times arduous road. Much of it was written sitting around kitchen tables, sandwiched between reunions, rehearsals and gigs, driving from Sydney to Canberra, the South Coast to Bellingen and Byron Bay, amid much chaos, improbable hilarity and the odd ale or two.
The Mourners remains an enigmatic yet strangely compelling collaboration which allows us to get together once in an intense while and really play, to put on funny clothes, turn up the volume, bounce off some walls together, and against all the odds bang out some new tunes. We sincerely hope that you derive at least as much pleasure and satisfaction from this music as we did in making it, this, our emergent chrysalis, our collective escape from the Caterpillar Maze.

Steve Grieve and The Mourners inhabit an enigmatic virtual Neverland of hazy musical dreams, outback chicanery, and lumpy, urbane hybrid rock, roots and blues edifices. The band has acquired an improbable yet mythical cult status and their most recent confrontations with crass commercialism, lazy stereotypes and alliteration are ceremoniously captured on the new album Caterpillar Maze.
