Holy Folk it’s Matt Corby!!

It’s Australia, not London calling; Matt Corby has recently arrived home and is rested up and ready for the launch of his latest single “My False”. The first show begins tonight, July 1, at Raval in Surry Hills- which we’re excited to announce is well and truly sold out! Don’t kick yourself too hard if you missed out on tickets, because of the high demand he has squeezed in one more show at Raval – this Sunday the 4 of July – but be sure to get in quickly because this one is predicted to sell like hot cakes too.

If you’re Melbourne based, make sure you pre-book your ticket for Matty’s gig at the Toff in Town because tickets for that show are in high demand… if you miss out you will have to kick yourself (or prepare be prepared to road trip it to Bacchus Marsh) because this is his only Melbourne show.

Don’t forget Matt will also be the super Shiny support act for international heavy-weights (and close friends) Mumford and Sons when they play their Sydney shows at the Enmore Theatre as part of the Splendour in the Grass side shows.

Princess One Point Five – Full Steam Ahead

It’s full steam ahead for Melbourne’s Princess One Point Five {P1.5}. After a small hiatus P1.5 are gearing up for the release of their long awaited fourth album What Doesn’t Kill You.

You’ve probably already bopped along to the first cutesy pop single ‘Today’ from the new album, which has been getting airplay around the country.

Prepare for more sweet sounds because P1.5 have announced that they’re treating local Melbourne fans to a sneak peek of the new album, showcasing the new tracks and a handful of old favourites, in a month long winter warm up residency at the Builder’s Arms throughout June. Full Story >>

Matt Corby releases “My False” and hits the road for his first national tour.

Last weekend, Matt Corby (the new kid on the Shiny block), released his first new material for 2010…the stomping new-folk track “My False” b/w the sublime “Lighthome” …available from the omni present iTunes store.

This week we’re announcing Matt’s first ever national Australian tour as he looks to turn the volume from quiet to loud. The tour will see Matt play 13 shows across a three week period in July and will culminate when he supports Mumford and Sons at their sold out shows at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre.

This is your chance to catch an emerging, dynamic young artist at the beginning of his career in intimate settings throughout New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia. As Big Kev says, “i’m excited”!

In the meantime you can download an exclusive free live version of “Lighthome” at Matt’s website. Recorded live at Studio 301 in Sydney if this one doesn’t make you go “ooh” and “ahh” then you may just be related the Tin Man from Wizard Of Oz! Full Story >>
