Autumn 2005, the leaves are turning to gold, there's a chill in the air and Trish Young contacts her friend Jodi Phillis with a proposition. The objective: a fledgling, a fresh direction, sparkling songs for a bright new millennium. Late into the winter nights in a frenzy of melody the girls nurture their creation. Ideas spill and tumble, a flair for the unexpected makes itself manifest, and in late spring a five-track ep, Lalalala emerges from its chrysalis. Jodi and Trish unite in a rare harmonical twinness and invite you, the listener, on a thrilling ride to their multinote world.
And then they play some shows and all the eastern seaboard of Australia is invited to witness the barely contained chaos that is The Girls From The Clouds. They tell jokes, they wear strange socks, some of their stage patter is unintelligible, and they get out of time with their backing cd. Nobody knows what could happen next. A singing drummer called Tim Oxley joins the fray, and adds beats and even more harmonies to the already bursting equation.
The five songs of Lalalala, startling in their brilliance and originality, are only the beginning. Expect great things from this most exciting of partnerships. The airwaves are crackling, the soundwaves are humming, and you'll soon find yourself singing along with songs of seduction, rebellion, and working in a bookshop. If The Girls From The Clouds can't make your dreams come true, who can?
Sorry listeners, The Girls From The Clouds have split. Trish and Jodi wish to thank their friends and fans for all the support and encouragement they received. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
