Peter has achieved worldwide acclaim with 'Sort of, Dunno, Nothin'' from his second album, Picture in a Frame.
Sort Of, Dunno, Nothin'
According to Peter, this song has had a very interesting life so far. It came at the end of three weeks of writers block - Peter had been trying to write for the new album Picture In A Frame and couldnt get any ideas flowing (being the hardest part of songwriting in his eyes). According to Peter, theres nothing worse than wanting to write and coming up with stuff all.
"It was Saturday morning and I walked out the back and was rehearsing a conversation in my head with some mates of mine I was seeing that afternoon. After Id rehearsed the 'hellos', I reahearsed the 'What have you been up tos' and the answer was 'Nothing.....Ive been doing nothing at all.'"
That triggered the idea and twenty minutes later the song was born. Peter is amazed at the attention this song has achieved. Peter remarks "Funny thing is, it doesnt rhyme, its not sung (you can perform this with a bad cold) and its one of the fastest things Ive written and its the one thats got the most attention of all Ive ever done!"
"The video clip was great fun to do. Ross Wood did an amazing job of the filming and editing. Ross said he had something in mind and had a young actor from around Gosford to be the teenager in the clip. I had never met Travis Kesek until then and as soon as I laid eyes on him, I thought 'How bloody perfect could it be!'. If I had to draw the sort of person needed for the job, I would have drawn Travis."
"Then it was posted on youtube and the response was interesting. For the first few weeks it was fairly slow, then the song started getting some radio airplay and the clip was aired on Rage a couple of times. The hits started getting higher then. Ive done it live with Larry Emdur on the Morning Show (that was good fun!) and it closed Spicks and Specks the other night (02/04/08). That was a shock- we were sitting there watching the show and all of a sudden theres my head on the box! It was completely unexpected."
Peter has also done a randition of his song for Big Brother 2008 where the teenager is replaced with the current occupants of the house.
