Last Friday was a huge day. We were lucky enough to have been granted a helping financial hand by Vic Rocks to make our 2nd album and the official announcement was held at Cherry Bar, Melbourne. It was very exciting but extremely nerve racking at the same time. Melbourne artist extraordinaire Dan Kelly performed and so did we, as we were both recipients of this round of grants. Dan was fantastic, a true pro. He began the day by so easily making a room full of politicians, media and music industry folk sing a long to his song ‘Bindi Irwin Apocalypse Jam’ – something I was so impressed with. Then it was our turn and I think we did pretty well. The Premier, Mr Brumby, seemed to dig it which was cool and we were asked to do a second song which I think is a good sign.
So after the huge nervous stress of performing in front of some impressive sized lenses and not your normal everyday audience, we headed to sound check at the East Brunswick Club in preparation for our last Melbourne show before the new album. We had the lovely Little Blakes who opened the night for us and the very cool Ben Wells & the Middle Names who we will be spending this week touring with around Tassie. Cheers to everybody who left the couch, the heater and the tv, and trekked out into the icy cold winter to come to the show. It really was such a nice way to say farewell to ‘Love Your Band’ for a little while, whilst we create something quite different and new for you all over the next coming months.
Will be sure to give you details of where the album will be recorded very soon – but for now think EXOTIC……
