- Mark Seymour and The Undertow performs "Castlemaine" live for www.sideshowall...
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Known for his story telling and banter, Mark Seymour takes us on a journey to Castlemaine. Located 120 kilometres from Melbourne, the gold rush town (population 6,797) in recent years has become an extension of Melbourne's artisan inner north, making it difficult to separate the checked shirts of Big W and Hard Yakka from the likes Ben Sherman and Savers.
It's easy to imagine Mark as town sheriff and keeper of the community. Everyone's favourite bloke, you can picture the man sharing tales of years on road with the locals over a few frothies. Since his time fronting Hunters and Collectors in the 80's and 90's, one of the hardest working musicians in Australia regularly treads the boards around the country; his gutsy performances a thing of legend.
Together with his band The Undertow (Cameron McKenzie, John Favaro and Pete Maslen), the team meet up in the seemingly fitting central Melbourne location of Heape Court; itself home of a Victorian Heritage listed gold rush era brick warehouse.
As the band prepared to launch into the episode we were momentary interrupted by a guided tour of old folks all shuffling by to see the historic site (named in 1858 for pastoralist and merchant Benjamin Heape). With some handy picking work and a healthy dose of manly harmonising, Mark and co dive into a story of searching for comfort, happiness and escape.
Sure makes us want to go to Castlemaine.

Great music, the beginning slightly reminds me of Mick Harvey.
Wonderful performance of a beautiful song. Would love to see him live, great back catalogue from H&C days too.
Can I be totally honest? This is the best recording of Mark I've ever heard. Been all day listening to all other stuff on UA-cam about Mark... SSA IS the BEST recording of all. No kidding. Go back to this format Mark! Regards

Does anyone know the make and model of guitar/mandolin style instrument Cam McKenzie is playing here? I’m loving the tone!!
caarrrrrrstttllleemmaiiiinneeee
Is there anyone else who can detect a faint trace of hotel California in this? Or is it just me? I don´t mean in the melody or the text, but in the over all feel in the song.
It's like the song shares a melancholy undertone and pace that is reminiscent of Hotel California. The meaning to me is less overt and more more subtle than the Eagles song you mention. This song is more hopefull than that of Hotel California. Moreover, I prefer to deal with my own demons than a stroll throgh the house of creature comfort sarinated by the enticings of the lord of deciet. Whatever the case, I do understand the rhythm and feel the tone you speak of. I prefer Brother Seymour's much more so...
Nobody sings like Mark.
How is the bass that loud!

@jr reed check out "black cab sessions"
Lol Marcin Gortat plays guitar ;-)
He looks like a balding Guy Pearce

Not as bad as his grand final trash show
