1.Your Profile

Ed M – lead vocals/guitar, Jake M – lead guitar/vocals and Josie F – bass/vocals. We enjoy writing and performing country-rock-alternative-Americana-pysch-soul music. A/S/L?

2.Keeping Busy

We have just released our debut EP This Time I’m Fine (produced by Tony Buchen) so we have been pretty busy playing shows promoting the record. We had a sell-out launch at Brighton Up Bar in September and were down in Melbourne for a some shows a couple of weeks ago. We have also been concentrating on writing very intensely for the next record. In fact, we are taking a trip down to Kangaroo Valley solely to write in a few weeks, away from all the distractions of Sydney. We are aiming to have the new record out this time next year, so fingers crossed.

3.Best Gig Ever

It would have to be the Lustre Pearl in Austin, Texas (RIP). It was around the time of SXSW a couple years back and the venue was this converted house on Rainey Street. It was such a loose and wild night and because the venue was at capacity, punters who wanted to get in began clambering up the chain fence behind and to the side of us during our set! It was absolute chaos and most definitely a memorable gig for all of us.

4.Current Playlist

Michael Kiwanuka, The Murlocs, Sonny and The Sunsents, Harry Nilsson, Timber Timbre, Angel Olsen, Royal Headache, Shana Cleveland and The Sandcastles, Drive-By Truckers, Kid Congo and The Pink Monkey Birds. From Sydney we love catching shows from Joseph Liddy and The Skeleton Horse, Dead Brian, Andy Golledge and Ruth Carp and The Fish Heads.

5.Your Ultimate Rider

Beers and Jameson all the way, but honestly we’re all just stoked to get anything really!
