What's Up June?

It's been a while since an update. Finished recording vocals and guitars with Tim Kevin for 6 tracks last weekend, we’ll finish writing another 6 tracks and start on those soon. We’ve still got a long way to go.

We've got some shows booked. Playing with our favourite Brisbane band EXTRAFOXX for their Album launch in Brisbane on the 19th of August. In addition we're playing our favourite guitar shop in the world Tym Guitars in Brisbane on the 20th of August 2pm. This will double as our EP launch as long as I can piece together the outstanding EP release related things.

The US Album is nearing release, need to finalise artwork and the dreaded… band photo, which appears much harder to organize than it should be.

Anyone keen to make a budget film clip?

Upcoming Release - Sneak Preview

We have a new EP on the way and an album coming out in the U.S. To celebrate both of these awesomenesses we're giving away a free track from the release. Simply follow us on twitter and repost our free track tweet and we'll send you the exclusive track never before heard in all its mp3 format greatness.

If you hate twitter and the social blah then just come along to the show tomorrow night at Mum and we'll play it live and give you a badge for troubles.

Otherwise you have until the 17th of June to get your social network on. Spread the word.

Olga the Ogre - live in Newcastle - Nice Filly

Recently we went and played Newcastle. It was awesome thanks so much to Brooke and Shane for organising the show under their production name Nice Filly. As a part of the Nice Filly dealeo we performed an acoustic song which the guys have posted online.

I forgot the lyrics in the first take and hence the battery for the audio recording device on the table died halfway through but the mic on the camera held up alright.

Paul is playing an acoustic guitar we found lying around the bar with white gaff tape with Xavier Rudd scrawled across it. I'm quite sure it was his uncased cheap guitar. Craig plays boot and tambambourine. Wintah plays legs and showing a lot of them.

LITTLE LOVERS – OLGA THE OGRE
There are encounters that can change your perception of a place, of a scene, of music in general. We met Craig, Wintah and Paul on Sunday 28^th February 2010 at their headline show at The Annandale in which we were lucky to sleeze a spot on the lineup.

Little Lovers brand of indie is delivered with a side of punk westernism and enveloped with a strange sense of nostalgia taking you back to the brilliance of 90’s Australian music. Each song punches you in the face like you’ve heard it before, but you haven’ t, then you find yourself singing along which gives big kudos to their songwriting abilities.

Residing in a land of skinny jeans and haircuts, their personality shines through each second of their songs, with humor and anecdotes scattered into their sets, they are always king pins of modesty. We were reassured that Sunday night last year that all was not lost in the big smoke and when coming up with the idea of Nice Filly placed them at the top of our list.

Little Lovers smells like house parties, like schooners of beer at Jets games, like summer festivals, like friends sharing Frank’s pizza, like bowling clubs.

In the dark back bar of The Great Northern Hotel they played Olga the Ogre for the Nice Filly camera and the bar staff and here is what they came up with…

Thanks / Atom Bombs Launch

Thanks so much everyone for coming along to the Annandale Show last Thursday (probably our last ever Annandale show). I feel it was a success even without my magical lighting vision… grumble grumble. A big thankyou to the Creepers, Fabergettes and Lyyar. You all ruled as per usual. A special thanks to Cam Lyons for driving the gear, I have your fishing rod and camp chairs at mine.

 

If you’re looking to party tomorrow night I highly recommend heading / surfing down to Good God Small club for the Atom Bombs 7” launch. It’ll be surftastic. Event details

 

P.s. Newtown Jets vs Cronulla Sharks - Henson Park 3pm Saturday 16/04/11 . I'll be at predrinks at Henson Park Hotel at around 1:30pm 

Dalton vs Pav

This is brilliant and I thought I needed to repost this. Local Legend Nic Dalton sticks it to the man with his indie label night at the Excelsior. If you haven't seen the Vivid clip watch that first.

P.S. Little Lovers play tomorrow night (7/04/11) Annandale Hotel with Lyyar, Fabergettes and Creepers. $2 a band

Update - March 11

It’s been a while since updates.

Firstly, we have been working with Nick Franklin to finish off some mixing on some tracks we recorded and yet to release. Watch this space. We need some artwork asap, if you know anyone keen let me know.

We played in Newcastle last weekend, thanks so much to Brooke and Shane from Yae!tiger / Nice Filly for organizing and inviting us to play the event. We ended up video recording an acoustic spontaneous song for the Nice Filly blog. The recording mic ran out of battery halfway so we’ll see if camera mic is audible or not.

Chris found this link of us playing at the Annandale a while back on Moshcams. I’m too afraid to watch it. By memory the show wasn't that great.

Also the big news. We’re playing Thursday the 7^th of April at the Annandale with Lyyar / Fabergettes / Creepers. See the poster below. Inspiration of which is we were once described as 'David Cross drawing Daniel Johnston’s ‘Hi how are you’ frog on the front of your favourite Star Trek t-shirt.'

It’s $8 entry THAT’S $2 A BAND!!!!!

We need to get as many people as we can so we can play at the venue in the future, invite your friends, your mum, your dad, your siblings, your siblings friends, that guy at work you feel obliged to have a drink with but you don’t like talking to (a gig will be perfect since you can’t talk that much and you’ll have something to discuss in between bands) and your enemies. Facebook event.
