After a decade long hiatus, iconic Australian band #Powderfinger is tuning up and preparing to bring a little happiness to fans during these challenging days. The title signifies the one off nature of this event and points towards the very important charities the band are supporting, Beyond Blue and Support Act. With millions of album sales in Australia alone, Powderfinger continue to captivate millions of listeners every month across streaming services and radio. In April 2010 Powderfinger announced they were calling it a day. The band embarked on their Sunsets Farewell Tour, playing to over 300 000 people along the way, and on 13 November 2010 they played their last gig, until now… One Night Lonely is presented by Secret Sounds, Universal Music Australia, YouTube and supports Beyond Blue and Support Act. ► Follow Powderfinger: https://powderfinger.com/ https://www.facebook.com/powderfinger/

" I did a lot of Brazilian jiu jitsu and it's a great workout but it's kinda ridiculous, too. And training with overzealous guys in their 20s is the WORST. I just hope Joe Rogan thinks this is funny. This joke is from my album "Why You Should Be Happy" - check it out here: https://800PGR.lnk.to/SimmermonID You can follow me on Instagram at http://www.instagram.com/jeff.simmermon or go to my website at www.jeffsimmermon.com" - Jeff Simmermon

" Your portable, quick set-up cozy cabin (WxDxH: 6'6" x 5'10" x 6'6") To still satisfy the urge towards a nomadic lifestyle, I can often be found parking my family car recreationally at scenic sites. I am quite the happy camper when I go about my things around the backside of the vehicle such as brewing a cup of coffee. But, when the weather is throwing a spanner in the works, who wants to resort to seeking shelter inside the vehicle or worse, flee the scene? So I came up with the idea for the CARSULE , a Bring-Your-Own-Booth concept that latches onto the backside of a car. It offers ample sheltered space, it allows for panoramic views of the surroundings and conveniently connects to the car's interior. Yet, it can be packed and stowed into a portable package when not in use." - Travel & Design

" One of the most often requested topics in the comments section of my videos is line weight. When you look at a finished sketch it can be hard to decipher how the person who made it decided how to put light and heavy lines in their proper places. This video shows 2 rules and 2 techniques that I use to create varied and interesting line weight in every sketch I do." - MT
