FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JAN 2009
Michael Peter heads out on his favourite tour around the country next
month.......
Central Coast based singer songwriter Michael Peter is releasing his
debut album, "something along those lines" in
March 2009 and will be touring nationwide on his "My Favourite Tour"
launching the first single off the album titled - yes you guessed it!
"My Favourite".
Michael wrote "something along those lines" while touring Australia
for most of last year, promoting his 2 EP's "The
25 paper planes EP" (2007) and "Patched Up Heart" (2008) both produced
by Michael Carpenter.
Something along those lines was Produced by Michael himself in
collaboration with ex Los Angeles producer/engineer Andrew Beck and
recorded and mixed at Damien Gerards in Sydney .
A marked difference from the previous EP's is using a live band to
track the tunes and the added sophistication of extra sounds and
textures as well as the usual wonderful backing vocals from the likes
of Sarah Humphreys (who will be featuring on some of the tour dates)
and Nicolle Lane.
The new album mixes Michael's usual heart felt vocals and unique and
thoughtful storytelling with influences from folk, roots, soul and
rock making for an album that is hard to pigeonhole and a pleasure to
listen to.
The Digital and CD Release will be online from March 1 and in stores March 9 on
MGM
The tour follows on from the excellent fanbase Michael has spent the
last 3 years building around the country and will take in a limited
number of cafes and even house concerts performing in a couple of
lounge rooms as he did on the last tour. The My Favourite tour will
break the ice for the single and start 2009 rolling for Michael who
plans to tour the album more extensively later in the year. (See
current tour dates below).
"Ernest, raw, promising new artist". - 01/06/2008 Jonathan Moran - The Sunday
Telegraph
"Michael's music is the kind that truly connects with you [an]
original sound to drive to, smile to and sing along in front of the
mirror to". - Rip it Up, April 2008
