He was broke at the time, living in a Carlton share house with no power and no running water.&nbsp;</p><p>Shortly after the pop band he was in<em>, &lsquo;The Jetsonnes&rsquo;</em>, morphed into something slightly more apocalyptic, changed its name to &lsquo;<em>Hunters and Collectors&rsquo;.. and Seymour went on to compose the dancefloor hell-scape single &lsquo;Talking to a Stranger&rsquo;</em> which secured several international record deals.</p><p>Three years later, with the departure of Greg Perano on industrial percussion, the demonic groove was lost. Hunters and Collectors morphed again and Seymour wrote the pop ballad &lsquo;Throw Your Arms Around Me&rsquo;..</p><p>To say that Seymour&rsquo;s trajectory has been &lsquo;inconsistent&rsquo; would be an understatement! And yet 45 years later, he&rsquo;ll tell you that the process hasn&rsquo;t changed that much. The only thing that has is the subject matter. There&rsquo;s always been an acoustic guitar, a recording device, mumbled words and some vague description of where he was or who he was with, the rooms he&rsquo;s lived in, roads travelled, either surrounded by musicians or alone in the back shed.&nbsp;</p><p>Many songs have disappeared while others have endured beyond the circumstances that spawned them. For Seymour song writing has been as much about emotional survival as anything else.</p><p><span class="fr-video fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CVLuswd2jIc?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br></p><p><br></p><hr><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>VENUE INFO</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;">Shows are Unreserved Seating unless clearly stated.
