Kieren and Luke from the band Adventure Street have got to be the most enthusiastic music besties I've ever met! They've known each other and played music together since they were kids and spent many years living next door to each other on (yes you've guessed it) Adventure Street which is a real street in Canberra!

We had a fantastic chat about how Kieren and Luke work with each other to write songs. Interestingly despite their 30 year music partnership they only really started writing and performing original songs together a few years ago. Keiren related how on a summer evening with the windows open he'd hear his neighbour jamming guitar riffs which would inspire him to write lyrics. Then by the time they both got together for a jam, a song would already be half written!

Pivotal to both of them in the songwriting process is collaboration with each other, with other members of Adventure Street and the folk that support their recording sessions and live performances. It's all about the people.

Kieren and Luke performed their song "The Road and Me" live in the studio and even roped me into play bass. It really showcases how Luke's great guitar riffs mesh in with Kieren's vocals and Miles Davis-like trumpet playing.

It was so much fun chatting with these guys. I guarantee it'll put a smile on your dial!
