A Very Unique Story





When Very Unique Existence's singer and song-writer Rich Latimer, posted a live
demo recording from a mobile phone of their concept album "Hear the Heart", to
Rolling Stone magazine, he wasn't sure if it was his Nimbin upbringing, 6 days
of no sleep during pre-production, or the trauma of nearly losing a 17yr old
brother in a car crash just before recording which inspired the random act. But
when he got a call from Dan Lander, Rolling Stone's editor, three weeks later he
knew the band were onto something truly special with their soon to be released
album.

After some early stops and starts, the band found success early last year with
the release of their second EP/DVD "Everyone". The tracks "Take it Easy", "Pop
Song" and "Looking Down" all secured regional, high rotation commercial airplay
plus spots on Nova, Triple J, Soundslikecafe, SMA and a Top 20 on Video Hits.
The band also earned the 2008 New Artist to retail position via Mood Media, and
had tracks placed in Bondi Rescue, City Homicide, and more recently The
Recruits. Touring wise they have supported Wolfmother, The Rouge Traders and
Kate Miller Heidke. Early inroads have been made into the USA as well via
Planetary Group and CMJ Magazine's tipsheet .

The buzz today is around the band's soon to be released album "Hear the Heart".
Likened by some to "Houses of the Holy" by Led Zeppelin, and being strong enough
even as a live demo to grab the interest of some major players including the
above mentioned Rolling Stone editor . Recently Pete Murray was on Sydney Radio
speaking about the band during Sound Relief. Two of the now famous "Mobile Phone
Demos" are still on the band's website for a limited time. "Embrace" (Taylor's
Song) co-written by Rich and Wes for Rich's brother Taylor while he was on life
support recently after a car crash, and the beautiful big ballad "Wasting Time".

Very Unique Existence's self-defined genre, "Positive Consciousness Rock" sees
the band donate part proceeds of every gig to a charity. This now has people
talking about the links between the positive messages in the music and their
commitment to walk their talk. If you hadn't heard about the little indie band
from Byron Bay with the big heart and truly unique sound, you now know who to
look out for this year as they bring their "Positive Consciousness Rock" to the
forefront of the Australian and International Market.



Like the band itself, the record has a heavy concept, featuring a continuity of
songs that Latimer hopes will open minds everywhere - Dan Lander Rolling Stone
