Come see us at Ding Dong!!! It's gonna rock.
Is the name of our LP...we're still recording it. In fact, that's probably what we're doing right now. BUT you can buy our EP Sweet Life from our next gig at click click on the 21st of June!! It will also be available soon on CDBaby and iTunes so check back often for details and links through this site. Until then, buy direct from us via PayPal (see above...)



Our songs were written initially for a rock band that Simon and I were playing in. That kind of fell apart, but we loved these songs so much that Simon reincarnated them with lovely 80s keyboards sounds and surf guitar riffs played on his Mosrite. I've got around to recording vocals for most of tracks. I'm really hoping to get all the recording finished in the next couple of weeks, then there's mixing and mastering to go.
In the meantime, we've been gigging around Melbourne. I think we've been really lucky so far, we've played with The Blow Waves, CC Martini, Neon Knights, and Showcard among others, and played at our favourite venues (love ya Ding Dong!).
We're a three piece right now, Simon on guitar, Nifty playing the keyboard parts and me singing (with fingers on my Roland JUNO01 at times). There'll be extra band members soon though (you know who you are ;)). We get loads of gear from Guitar Paradise so if you're in Melbourne go in!!!!!
Le Tigre live...
