Is it a coincidence that when my record of the week is not from Manchester it usually is from somewhere in Australia? I discovered this band from Brisbane on Triple J that’s for sure and I suppose it was on Home & Hosed but I do not exactly recall that fact. It was sometimes late last year with the amazing track Postcards that definitely deserves to be a hit – and that unfortunately might remain obscure like many quality tracks unless their current US tour sees them hit the jackpot which is yet another possibility. They just had to cancel two of their dates since they were invited to perform on the Late Show with David Letterman a couple of days ago!!! I really liked their story of having worked together in a tiny indie Brissie record store that gradually saw its opening hours getting shorter while the vendors (Kate & Damon) were actually spending more and more time practising and trying to perfect their sound. Let’s wish them all the best and please buy their record. You might find it difficult to lay your hands on a physical release (you can try Valve Records) but for once I will encourage you to grab a copy through iTunes where it is easily ‘downloadable’ (I got mine through the French Store).
And check their website for more or the usual MySpace to listen to some tracks or anywhere else on the WorldWideWeb to understand the reason behind the strange name.
