Guardian of a message

His work is a continuum, claims the 36-year-old Stringfellow, who's stayed on in Australia for a string of solo dates following the recent REM national tour.

"I'm definitely interesting in accomplishing a lot," Stringfellow says. "I've been trying to find an overarching mission in my life, trying to propel communication of a certain direct emotion between people.

"I'm so into it that I put myself in situations where I do that all the time, whether it's helping REM with their message, or doing my own thing, or doing the Posies thing."

'Where in the crap is Ken Stringfellow?" screams the headline on a page of the singer-songwriter's website. The answer, last week, was playing with REM.

This week, he's supporting his mates, Melbourne guitar-rockers Even. Stringfellow agrees the page sums up his "they seek him here, they seek there" reputation.

"Yes, I'm constantly on the move with things I'm doing," he says. "The first half of last year was about making records; the rest of this year and the first half of next year, those records are emerging, so I'll see where they take me."

Stringfellow has been a permanent touring member of REM since the late-'90s Up album tour and he contributed to the album Reveal, the Man on the Moon soundtrack and last year's Around the Sun. He co-founded the respected American guitar-poppers the Posies, whose new album is due out this year.
