About Me

Ex Blue Aeroplanes TWO produce a light, sophisticated blend of folk/pop/rock. TWO have released 4 albums since 2001. The first two (now deleted), a compilation of e.p.'s entitled The Status Quo, and their second eponymous came out on the now defunct Oporto Records, the latest two Fifteen (2006) and Born in the sun (2007/8) both still available via download on iTunes or online at many music shops were released on the Tuition label (home to Robert Forster of The Go-Betweens, Beachfield, Roddy Frame and Kevin Ayres latest releases.)
