As you may have heard through the grapevine, local gal Izzy Losi is reaching out to the people of Geelong. And it’s not because she is a handsy person, it’s because she wants them to be a part of her new EP. The band have just announced a Pozible campaign to help them on their way to creating a new EP. It marks a massive return for the band who have been quiet for the past few years, and if you love supporting local, talented musicians this is your chance: http://www.pozible.com/project/198952.

Tickets remain for 10cc’s show at Bendigo’s Ulumbarra Theatre this Saturday, October 31. Apparently the band got their name after UK Records founder Jonathan King had a dream about a successful band with the name 10cc, although there is an alternative theory that I am not going to tell you here. Annoying, right?
