Get your snakeskin jacket on and head on out to the Record Crate in Glebe on Sat 21 March for an afternoon of free live music from Machiniso. Browse the Record Crate’s extensive vinyl findings while you chug-a-lug on a wine or coffee…or both! Food is available for those who can not live on imbibings alone. Machiniso is performing two […]
The Record Crate in Glebe has a pretty little music room above its selection of vintage and collector vinyls downstairs. If you can make your way up the rickety stairs, you’re guaranteed an intimate live music experience. Thankfully as a singer, I didn’t have to lug any major gear up those little stairs.

Here’s a little teaser from the first recording session LL Cool Jazz did a couple of weeks ago. These three songs will be on the album! Hot off the recording desk, mastering is yet to be done. If you’ll listen carefully, you can hear all my breathing and my leather shoes creaking. Tee hee. We’ve […]
What a great Sunday I had! In the morning I was invited by Amanda Easton to be a part of the film clip shoot for her new song “New Bohmemians”. What a great song, a great idea and great vibe/feel. Amanda invited about 12 indie artists to be a part of her clip, to celebrate our […]
First recording date set After a number of weeks rehearsing with Scott, we’ve finally booked ourselves into our first recording session. The LL Cool Jazz recording begins in the studio on Tuesday 21st October 2014. We’re imagining that we’ll need a few sessions to get the tracks down, but it shouldn’t take too long to […]
Jazzy Cello with LL Cool Jazz For your info, LL Cool Jazz is Scott Leishman on guitar and Anne-Lise Larsen (that’s me) on vocals. The name comes from the two x Ls from our surnames, and we play… cool jazz. 🙂 Well, this afternoon we were supposed to be rehearsing – our last rehearsal – […]
On Friday I went to see my long time favourite female singer, Renee Geyer. I didn’t really discover Renee until about 16 years ago. Growing up, I’d known of her and saw her singing “Say I Love You” on Countdown, but it never really occurred to me that she was a fantastic singer, especially not the type […]
A couple of months ago I played in a chamber orchestra for an ‘at the time’ secret show. I can now reveal it was The Bachelor to be aired tonight on Channel 10, Australia at 7.30pm. Here’s a blog I did about it at my larsenmusic.com.au website. If you’d like to hire a cellist “as […]
There’s a new song on the horizon. It’s one I had written a number of years ago and never could quite work out what I was going to do with it. This year, I brought it into a Machiniso rehearsal and it’s been brought to life. Scott Leishman added a pre-chorus chord motif, I added […]

There’s something I want to share with you because it’s something I’m very excited about. That may be an understatement. You know the feeling when you’re on the cusp of finally beginning to live a lifelong […]
