Guitar Boat for auction & Hottest 100

That’s right, you could own Josh’s Pyke’s Guitar Boat which features in the ‘Make You Happy’ video.

“Seeing the guitar boat clip spread around the world has been one of the highlights of releasing this album so far,” says Josh. “I love the idea that its charm will now go towards helping something i’m passionate about. Later this year i’ll be launching an event called ‘Busking For Change’ in conjunction with the Indigenous Literacy Project, and the sale of the guitar boat will help to fund this.”

Just head to the Ivy League blog to read all the details. Auction starts on Feb 2nd.

Hottest 100 Countdown: It was great to see Josh secure two spots in the hottest 100, #29 and #27 – huge thanks to everyone who voted, this is a huge improvement from last years spots (#79, #91 and #97) and a great way to celebrate the beginning of 2009!

If you missed the countdown head over to the Hottest 100 section of the Triple J website and you can listen to the countdown, (click ’50-20′) and you’ll hear Make You Happy & The Lighthouse Song as well as Josh’s chat with Triple J (you’ll also hear his shout out to Mary and I – thanks Josh!!)

Josh Pyke sets off on the Chimney’s Afire tour in less than 2 weeks, starting in Perth on Thursday the 12th of Feb. Take note, 2 of the 3 perth shows have sold out and no doubt the other gigs will sell out soon. Joining Josh on tour are Cloud Control and Jackson McLaren, definitely worth listening to now and Steve Parkin will be supporting in Perth (instead of Jackson)
