A Brief Introduction.
Three years before their first independent release, Belly Moan, Big Smoky formed in a dusty, disused film projection room at Sydney’s Audioloc Studios. After a good clean up, it became the perfect space to rehearse live and loud, and stoke a Big Smoky sound.
Bringing forward their predilection to rocky folk psychedelia, the band have produced their debut E.P. Belly Moan. Mostly recorded live to quarter-inch tape with a handful of distinguished microphones, the E.P. was mixed by ex-Alpha Male, Aaron Cupples (The Drones, Dan Kelly, Silver City Highway). The sound reflects their influences of recordings from the ‘70s, ‘80s and early ‘90s and the songs themselves are a walk through loss, love, pain, daytime TV, death and everything in between.
Following the release of Belly Moan in 2009, Big Smoky are gearing up for a series of live shows in Sydney and Melbourne and will start recording their debut album later in the year.
Until then we hope you enjoy
