SATURDAY 9 | Euan Gray, front man of Brisbane-based band The Rooftops, delivers his second all-original solo in Phnom Penh tonight: “It will be some Rooftops stuff, some non-rooftops stuff and possibly some new stuff,” he said of his first solo. “This could be my long-awaited push to finish some new songs I’ve been dreaming up. I have half a chorus for a new song, called Paper Lexus. Last Chinese New Year, I saw people burning paper, factory made Lexuses along with fake money. All things will pass. Amazing symbolism: ironic and hopeful at the same time. I have another one that no one has heard yet called We Live Amongst The Tigers, about how ex-Khmer Rouge are everyday folk, driving our tuk tuks, planting rice, doing business; all trying to move on. ‘Working hard at moving on, working just as hard as anyone…’”
