Emily's music is a finely crafted expression of home truths woven with earthy
acoustic sounds and hauntingly beautiful words.

electric banjo at age 3, bred with classic rock, folk and

cabaret pop to becoming a talented singer/songwriter ready to release her debut
album

Sounds and stories, reflections and ballads about the beauty and tragedy of
urban pursuits, are brought to life in her songwriting.

The charisma in her live performance is warm and inviting, drawing the audience
in for an especially moving experience.

"Moving in Slow Motion" is Emily's debut album and was produced by Monique
Brumby.

ARTIST: The Bad Machines

TITLE: Telling Lies

OUT ON: FOG/MGM

RELEASE DATE: MARCH 5

LAUNCH DATE: MARCH 3 @ "The Spanish Club", Sydney City



The inter-continental duo of Michelle Margherita and Paul Scott, who are

based respectively in London and Sydney, have pieced together an album of
not-so-ordinary love songs

that stitch together noise and nuance with grinding guitars and drum-machine
beats.

Not the usual girl-vocal/boy-technology pop duo, Telling Lies is a shimmering
electro-indie-pop gem that

includes bubblegum-punk tracks like Two Heads and Kidz before simmering down
with hypnotic, minimally textured beauties like the title track,

Telling Lies, and it's sister tune, Folkways.Composed and compiled by Michelle
and Paul emailing files across the world,

Telling Lies is a beautiful collection of songs that only exist because of the
kind of trans-global collaboration that the internet allows.

When they are in the same country, on stage, The Bad Machines are a chaotic mix
of instrument swapping, judo moves, new-wave dancing and stillness.

Their recent tour of the UK, Germany, France and Spain proved to crowds that the
band can rock while quietly connecting with their audience.

The Bad Machines debut album Telling Lies will be released in Australia in

March 2007. They will be playing live in Sydney in February 2007.

ALBUM: 'A gentle glimpse of waking' (due out MAY 2007)



"Jude Elliot showcases one of the more fully formed musical visions to find
voice in recent times.

She offers up a collection of songs that capture the essence of a performer
whose gift is the ability to

express a broad range of emotions, intimately, honestly, and within a rich
musical tapestry."

Paul Turner, Music Editor, Capital Q Weekly



Jude has become recognised as one of Australia's most exciting original female
singer/pianist/guitarists.

She was a finalist at the Australia Music Week showcase of the country's most
promising artists, an Arts SA and SAYAB grant recipient,

most recently nominated for the 2006 SAMIA female artist of the year award and

ARTIST: Van Sereno

TITLE: Persistence

RELEASE DATE: March 5th

OUT ON: MGM

ALBUM LAUNCH: March 6th The Vanguard



The second album from sydney's fresh indie singer/songwriter Van Sereno sees him
producing himself, the end result being a collection of catchy

songs that stand testament to originality yet true to the formula of commercial
and contemporary pop music. A step up from the thought provoking

debut "i think i know", this prolific writer has chosen to use this next batch
of songs to be very lyrics driven, many of them sticking to his trade

mark stories of love and relationships. from the funky "Theres something there",
to the beautiful simplicity of "Sit back relax", and the foot

stomping "Thank you for tonight", Van Sereno has shown he has gained much
insight and has matured in his time on the live circuit. Stand out tracks

is the frollicking "Little bonsai" and of course the title track "Persistence",
two songs that though has a casual and rootsy presentation

to it, both weigh heavy on its metaphor and double meanings that many may relate
to. In his own words "you can't beat persistence",

and as the old saying goes "if you can't beat them, join them", my guess is you
will - joining him in sing along that is.

ARTIST: Paul Turner

TITLE: Clear Blue

DISTIBUTION/LABEL: MGM / Green Media

RELEASE DATE: February 2007



"Come with me to this place. You decide the way. Come with me to this land. We
live our lives to plan."



Paul Turner entices you with the chorus of the album's first track, "City
Lights", and his powers of persuasion continue for ten inspirational tracks.

There's no resisting Turner's invitation to savour life, and the journey he
takes the listener on is unforgettable.

Clear Blue is a powerful and evocative collection from a singer-songwriter who
has heartfelt messages to share and an accessible and joyous musical expression
with which to convey them.

Bringing a mature, world-wise yet unfailingly optimistic attitude to his work,
Turner is an independent artist whose music is instantly accessible to fans of
rock, pop and folk.

While harking back to a time when songs were earnest and pure without commercial
consideration, Turner is a thoroughly contemporary tunesmith,

and his songs are destined for acclaim internationally. Turner's engaging
acoustic-rock style and simple, effective lyrics are showcased on Clear Blue,

which was produced by Adrian Hannan (Taxiride, Vanessa Amorosi, The Superjesus)
and mastered by Oscar Gaona at Studios 301 in Sydney.

"I'm appealing to the deeper aspect of ourselves, the part that stirs stuff up,"
Turner explains.

His melodic finger picking guitar style favours open tunings and unusual chord
progressions, and his voice has a directness that touches the soul.

He sees himself as a kind of painter. "I try to have quite wide brushstrokes so
people can look at my work as they like."

"Come With Me", from Clear Blue, is about moving forward in both spiritual and
earthly ways. "It's about letting everything go," says Turner.

"All the conditioning, things that keep you tied in, your ideas of romance, any
concepts that are strong in your psyche and keep you restricted.

Sometimes when I sing the song I think about trekking around Fairy Bower in the
Southern Highlands; other times I think about being in India..."
