No False Starts For Matt Corby

Drum roll please…..enter stage right, Matt Corby, an incredibly talented 19 year old singer songwriter all
the way from Cronulla (one of Sydney’s southern beach suburbs and home of the pitiful Cronulla Sharks Rugby League team).

Matt is recording his debut album around the world with a stellar support team, and Shiny somehow, miraculaously, joyously and happily got the call to join in on the good times.

Matt spent much of 2009 in London with incredible results: he recently signed a worldwide publishing deal with BMG out of the UK and has signed to Communion, one of the hottest independent labels in the UK, run by Ben Lovett of Mumford and Sons’ fame, who will be releasing Matt’s EP In September in the UK.

This week we’re busting at the seams to let you know that Princess One Point Five have deemed us worthy enough to work with them on the release of their upcoming fourth album What Doesn’t Kill You.

You may have already heard their awfully pretty single ‘Today’, wafting out of your radio thanks to jjj and just about every community radio station in the country (the pic to your right is from the ‘Today’ film clip)…or perhaps you’ve seen them supporting Josh Pyke, Jen Cloher Full Story >>

British India – Coming Like An Avalanche!

Some one, possibly God, once said that ’sex sells’. Here’s hoping they were right ’cause some one else just pointed out the headline for BRITISH INDIA’s new Avalanche Tour is mighty raunchy. That’s right Australia, British India are coming like an Avalanche!

The band’s new album hits stores April 30th, though, if you’re smart, you’ll pre-order it online through JB Hi-Fi to get the album + a special bonus Bootleg CD! If you’re even smarter, you’ll catch the band live on their national tour kicking off with Groovin’ The Moo festival in May and rolling ’round the country ’til June. See you at a gig soon!
