Silence of the Jams
‘Eddie Ray - Silence of the Jams’ is an epic independent film with an entirely original soundtrack.
In a dystopian future where the world falls into silence, and all live music has stopped, robot’s aka smartphones now rule the world. Having only ever used his trusty old Nokia, Eddie Ray missed the memo, or meme. With a motorbike as his trusty steed, in the wild west of the Sunshine Coast, and haunted by the songs in his head, Eddie must journey to find the weapon that can beat the machines. Live Music.
Silence of the Jams is equal parts movie and live music gig as Eddie and his Band of Legends, perform the soundtrack live alongside the screening.

A fusion of slapstick, bad dad jokes and sock puppets with a sprinkle of circus.
“The performance is by turns acrobatic, comic, and musical...The winning performance delights in the silly and is sure to win the hearts of all children (and children-at-heart).”
— Liam McNally - Tulpa Magazine
“When you think of the Fringe, this is exactly what you expect to see — a weird, zany show that pushes you to not take yourself so seriously.”
— Chloe Metcalfe, The Advertiser
“Life on the Line during the day is a bit of family fun that includes dad jokes, Aimee’s graceful aerial ballet on a Hills Hoist ... a little bit of Mark on electric guitar, and some participatory theatre. At night it becomes a tiny bit more adult with some tasteful moments of laughter and applause. ”

Eddie Ray
Leader of the Resistance
Arnold Schwarzenegger tried to warn us, but we didn’t listen! Before the Terminator, there was the telephone - Before the T1000 there was the Nokia 3210.
A music comedy sci-fi action movie adventure set in the year 2020 where robots completely run the planet and are our overlords. A hilarious take on the situation we're faced with, with I-phone addiction and too much screen time.
Eddie effortlessly turns a very serious matter into a very thought provoking comedy which is helping start the conversation wherever it takes him. Eddie was nominated for Best Cabaret at the Fringe at the Edge of the World Festival in Hobart and enjoyed sell out seasons at Darwin Fringe Festival 2019...
“From the first minute he had his audience hooked and hanging onto his every word... Together with social commentary and the whims of a talented musician... it isn’t just this show’s inter-textuality that makes it brilliant.
— Kayla Gaskell, Tulpa Magazine
A delightful satirical musical comedy...Funny, engaging, with a great soundtrack produced live by Eddie Ray on stage, if you’re into comedy like Flight of the Conchords, this show is for you.”
— Melissa Kruger- XPress Magazine
Schwarzenegger’s Terminator in a mash-up is bust-yer-gut funny.
