News From The Week That Was
Despite being down a Puff due to illness, it was a very productive week in The Cube for Boyne and Scarfo. More work was done on the ‘surprise’ cover mentioned last week as well as some vocal redos on a number of songs in contention for the new album. We consolidated and realized that we are looking at about 16 songs that we are going to whittle down to what will eventually be the next record. We are looking toward doing some more writing this week to see if anything new squeezes out before we start making decisions. Luckily, The Cube now has a newly acquired coffee centre, so some late nights ahead may be a little more comfortable.
Get to know your Whiskey!
What’s the most useful thing you own?
Boyne: My fan – keeps me cool, helps me sleep
Scarfo: I did mention that air fryer, right? Seriously though, the recording rack that I bought – without that, there would be no Fighting Whiskey.
Puff: Probably a screwdriver or something
What’s your biggest fear?
Boyne: That luck exists and you only have so much of it
Scarfo: Heights. No witticism here, I hate ladders.
Puff: Balloons
Who would be your ideal dinner guest, living or dead, and what would you serve them?
Boyne: Robert Mitchum and this lasagna I have left in my fridge – it’s so good. Although I’m sure he wouldn’t like it and I don’t want to share it.. So prolly just feed him booze and let him talk.
Scarfo: Shakespeare and pizza pockets. Pizza pockets would blow his old school mind. We could talk story structure. Or Ian McShane and whatever the hell he wants as long as he talks through dinner so I can just be in awe.
Three Things I’ve Learned This Week
- While not advisable, it is possible to have a 10 minute conversation about snakes before my morning coffee.

- Sometimes, the hard work is the reward.
