About Me

Goldentone began in Adelaide, South Australia, in 1998 as a solo recording project for singer, songwriter and guitarist Tim Hudspith. Over the next few years Goldentone performed constantly in Adelaide and toured interstate. Live performance highlights included supports for legendary Australian acts Ed Kuepper, The Go-Betweens and The Church. Goldentone released seven disks in the form of two limited edition trilogies and a 24-track double album. The Sunset Trilogy received rave reviews and introduced Goldentone to local radio. It consisted of Demo CD number one, Demo CD number two and Demo CD number three. The Landscape Trilogy also enjoyed critical acclaim and enabled Goldentone to break into radio networks interstate and overseas. It consisted of Live to Air, Live on Radio and Live at UV.In 2002 Tim moved interstate and established an independent record label called Dead Letter Records (Australia). In 2003 his label released a 24-track double album by Goldentone titled Honey Coloured Sky and the Blood Red Earth. The CD featured the best tracks from the Sunset and Landscape Trilogies, together with new material.Like most long-running bands Goldentone has endured line-up changes and undergone musical transformations. Tim is now based in Victoria where he has teamed up with accomplished guitartist and songwriter Adam Seery. The duo have just released a seven-track CD called Skeletons through Dead Letter Records (Australia). Skeletons is the eighth release from Goldentone. It is available from Pure Pop Records in St Kilda, Melbourne, Big Star Records in Adelaide and Rediscovery CDs in Ballarat. It is also available in New Zealand. It will be available from a limited number of other independant record stores soon. Adam and Tim are currently shortlisting tracks for their next recording session, which is scheduled for winter 2009.
