Ball Park Music unleash debut video

February 7th, 2010 | By ben

After last night’s rather impressive sell-out show at the Troubadour (Brisbane), it would seem Brisbane’s fresh-faced Ball Park Music are on somewhat of a roll. The show was in aid of the launch of the single ‘Sea Strangers (I Don’t Really Know You)’ and its accompanying video. The song has already managed iTunes Single of the Week and is a taste of a forthcoming EP to be released sometime very soon.

The video was created by producer Glenn Bernauer and director Alex Barnes from Brisbane ‘s Silver Screen Pictures – http://www.silverscreenpictures.com.au/

After waiting patiently to tell all and sundry about the worldly brand of folk, crafted finely and directly from Timothy Carroll‘s soul, it was finally time for the Mucho crew to service his debut album For Bread and Circuses to radio and press this week. The musical beans will be well and truly spilt when Carroll officially launches For Bread & Circuses at the Troubadour on Sunday 19th July, with friends McKisko and Kate Jacobson.

The evening will showcase Carroll’s compositions which swing naturally across folk, soul, country and gospel, painting tales of good times and heartbreak alongside a band of talented old world musicians. For Bread and Circuses will be available for sale on the night.

In other exciting news, Carroll will also also join Paul Dempsey in solo mode for a show later this month, before heading down to Sydney to join Megan Washington at the Sydney Opera House Studio on July 10.

Angie Hart (Frente) & Dave McCormack (Custard) Live and Intimate On The East Coast

June 22nd, 2008 | By ben

Angie Hart and David McCormack will be treading the boards this July with a series of intimate, inimitable shows performing works old and new from their extensive collective musical repertoires.

As household name with Frente, through to Splendid, Holidays on Ice and now as solo performer, Angie Hart possesses one of Australia’s best-loved voices. Her long-awaited debut long-player ‘Grounded Bird’ was many a critic’s short list choice for the last 12 months. Most recently at the invitation of Victoria’s Traffic Accident Commission, Angie lent her voice to a haunting cover of The Cure’s ‘Pictures of You’ for their biggest ever TV campaign, highlighting speed awareness.

Equally, David McCormack is a name synonymous with great Australian singing and songwriting. Through a decade with Custard and then onto the Titanics and The Polaroids, his catalogue remains past and present soulful, melodic and poptastic.

In celebration of these July dates Dave releases ‘Cassingle’, a clutch of songs (it says here) “stripped them down to their underwear and supplied them to you, dear listener, on this convenient digital disc”. ‘Cassingle’ is a forerunner to his new album and will be available for sale at these shows.

Having toured extensively with full band, Angie performs songs on this intimate run in duo mode. Like Angie, David will be performing in pared down back to bare bones basics mode.

Who knows? If the mood takes them and the stars align, they may even perform a couple of tracks together, but you’ll have to be there to catch that magic.

Gladstone & Lochaber hit the Troubadour with 26 and The Faze

June 1st, 2008 | By ben

You know when you go shopping for a new jacket and you can’t find anything you like? But then, out of the corner of your eye, you notice a pair of jeans that almost seems to call your name. You try them and the jean feels so good, so right and so comfortable that it’s almost like you’ve owned them for years, like it’s your “old faithful”. You feel sexy and all you want to do is tap your foot, swing your hips and dance like there’s nobody watching. This is how music is and this is the feeling local lads Gladstone & Lochaber aim for every single time they hit the stage. Their sound is rooted in rock but they add an electro-infused element that makes their slightly psychedelic pop melodies irresistible.

Gladstone & Lochaber play this Friday, June 6 at the Troubadour with 26 and The Faze
