TART NEWS!
Ever wanted to join Tarts on Tour but never knew how? Now's your chance to audition to join a real band (instead of the fantasy band you joined in your mind). Showus Yerriffs is heading off to other mysterious lands, so we're looking for a cool chick who plays lead guitar (keyboard skills a bonus). For more information please email [email protected].
CD NEWS!
Hi tarty ones ;)The songs are all recorded and mixed, and are yet to be mastered. We've added an unmastered tune - Hard to Get to this site. We hope you enjoy it, and if you do, tell your friends about us please!The original plan was to record a 5 track live demo, burn it using blank CDs from Officeworks and draw covers with crayon. Plans change.Our producer decided to make a proper 7 track EP. This of course means while we have to wait for the CD to be finished, it will be better quality than the demo we were going to record. We're also looking at getting them printed and burnt by professionals... yes, we'll even put in a lyric sheet for the trainspotters.
ORDER NOW... OR LATER... WHATEVER
We're now taking advance orders for the 7 track EP. They'll be $15 (AU) each. Feel free to email us to add your name to the orders. If you've seen us play live you'll recognise five of the seven songs... yes! that means there will be two newbies!!!BIG THANKS
