Polish Club With Horns Headline Tour Announced

Jun 29, 2018

Following the launch of their debut US single in April, including packed gigs in New Yorkand Las Vegas; and currently in the midst of a two-piece spectacular with Royal Blood, Polish Club today announce the Polish Club with Horns (cos why the f*ck not) tour. Australia’s pre-eminent soul-thrash guitar-drums duo expands its ranks for a triple-pronged variety show with a five-piece horn section and a double-whammy of very special guests for performances in Melbourne and Sydney this July.

“I’m a sucker for a brass ensemble or a string ensemble and one of them makes a lot more sense than the other,” says singer-guitarist Novak.

His partner JH happened to inherit a taste for big band muscle from an old friend, conservatorium-trained trombone player Benn Chapman. One phone call later, trumpet, saxes and sousaphone were inked into the equation.

Polish Club will be joined by ARIA-winning folk-pop harmony quartet All Our Exes Live in Texas on their brassed-up midwinter roadshow.

“This is gonna be fun,” adds Novak. “There’s really no other reason to do it besides us wanting to have a good time and that usually translates to the audience having a good time as well.”

You better believe it. Since the release of their ARIA award nominated and triple j feature album Alright Already starring breakout singles Come Party and Divided, the duo has performed two headline national tours in Australia, released the surprise EP Okie Dokie featuring the attention grabbing Gimme Money and joined The Preatures on a national tour.

“We haven’t done this before and we probably won’t do it again,” says Novak. “So listen, even if it’s terrible, it will be notable.”

You’ve got to love those odds.

Today Vera Blue releases her Power Ladies Remix EP - flexing her ‘Lady Powers’ with a bunch of talented women on a new EP.

The first track features Atlanta’s 19-year-old hip-hop up-and-comer Kodie Shane. It’s lifted from a new EP that sees Vera tapping local and international producers to remix the track. Australia’s own Alice Ivy delivers a dreamy makeover, along with fresh takes from Cali beat-maker TOKiMONSTA, deep house disco from Maria Marcus, and an early hours dubstep mix from Maya Jane Coles alongside the Kodie Shane-assisted version of ‘Lady Powers’.

Power Ladies Remix EP is available now on Apple, Spotify and vinyl.

Dan Sultan releases collaborative EP Killer Under A Red Moon

May 19, 2018

Today Dan Sultan releases his new, collaborative EP Killer Under A Blood Moon. The special, 6-track EP is available today and features tracks from Sultan’s ARIA-Award nominated album Killer, reinterpreted by Dan and some of the brightest and most important names in Australian music right now – A.B. Original, Camp Cope, Gang of Youths’ Dave Le’aupepe and Meg Mac.

Recorded live at Red Moon Studios with close friend and producer Jan Skubiszewski, the EP is a testament to the respect Sultan garners in his peers, and adds to his already glowing catalogue of music. Leading up to its release, Sultan has shared a new song weekly with fans, including ‘Drover (Feat. Dave Le’aupepe)’, ‘Reaction (Feat. Meg Mac)’ and ‘Killer (Feat. Camp Cope)’. Each release has been accompanied by a live video from the studio.

The EP rounds off with two unheard glam-bent bonus tracks, ‘Pitchfork’ and ‘Coming Back’, which were written around the time the songs from Killer came to be.

Killer debuted at #5 on the ARIA Albums Chart and received three nominations at last year’s ARIA Awards. It featured on numerous Best Albums of 2017 lists, with lead single ‘Hold It Together’ nominated for APRA’s Song of the Year. It has also garnered Sultan a nomination for Best Independent Blues and Roots Album at this year’s AIR Awards, which will take place on July 26.

Sultan is currently in the midst of an extensive solo tour for Killer, which sees him stripping things back to basics – just himself, his piano and guitar – for an incredible 44 date theatre run nationwide. Limited tickets remain for select shows.
