Well beloved Shiny devotees apologies for the delay in updates/ news from us Shiny peeps.

We have been crazy busy and the last few months have seen some mega changes at Chez Shiny.

As you probably already know super-shiny-stationary obsessed Jade Pham flew our coop at the beginning of July, leaving Stav a little broken hearted.

New kid on the block Tiana is now firmly ensconced into the fold, and to help make things easier for Stav went the Jade inspired semi head shave (it must be something about the desk in the corner!) and is now your go-to girl for everything Evelyn related.

Last week also saw the sad departure of our beloved office boy extraordinaire Matt Kulesza. The office hasn’t quite been the same without our ipod Nazi here to educate us about obscure music and mushroom harvesting, and the empty wall beside me is a sad reminder of the quirky funny boy that used to sit next to me just a week ago. Matt-Baby is moving on to focus on his music career with Rat Vs Possum.

Despite Stav having lost his only male companion in the office, Shiny is fresh-faced, starry-eyed and looking forward to a strong and busy 2010/2011.

Enough about loss – chin up, not down. Check out these exciting new campaigns!

We are super excited to be representing amazing Brisbane electronic act re:enactment who will be embarking on an east coast tour next month as they gear up to release their double A-side single ‘Problematic’ b/w ‘Nintendogs’! Suss them out live when they play Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in September… These guys could very well be providing you with the soundtrack  to your summer!

Also new to the Shiny family is Split Seconds, the Perth based band that park their car somewhere between the glory that was The Triffids and The Go-Betweens! They’ve just released their first single ‘Bed Down’, stay tuned for the EP, it’s well worth the wait.

Adelaide lads, City Riots have also jumped on board the Shiny bandwagon. The boys have been very busy indeed, coming off a two year round-the-world road trip, that saw them play a run of successful shows in the US, record their yet to be released debut album in Chicago, and play the SXSW festival in Texas. Catch them on their east coast tour in September.

Shiny has also taken super sweet and talented Owl Eyes under our wing. Owl Eyes is fronted by the gorgeous 19 year old Brooke Addamo, who’s first EP Faces is due out at the beginning of spring. The sweet, catchy soulful pop tunes are sure to warm your heart and make you smile in the lead up to the warmer months.

That is all from Shiny, its onwards and upwards in the next few  months!!
