For Immediate Release Tuesday June 17 2008
Super Massive set to live up to their name.....
Since winning 'Best Alternative Artist" at the MusicOz Awards late last year
(Australia's premier national music awards for independent artists), the Super
Massive team have been hard at work on their self-titled debut EP and now that
it's released, the time and effort spent have paid off.
The EP has already received a Hit Pick from Industry Tip Mag The Music Network
prompting Music Point (National delivery service for commercial radio) to
request the lead track - Fists In My Pocket for their service. MGM have signed
up for distribution, and Drum Media have jumped on the band wagon with an
extremely positive review (see below for quotes an links). Comparisons to
Blondie, Garbage, Lene Lovich and Massive Attack are already abounding...
Live - the band were requested to perform with Evermore and others at the Nova
sponsored Global Night Shift Benefit last month, wowed the folks at the Surry
Hills Festival and have already been booked for this year's Groovin' The Moo
Festival. To cap it off, only last week they performed live and were interviewed
on TVS (Channel 31)'s music show Scout TV.
There is a great video clip that goes with the single Fists In My Pocket,
already winging its way to the major music video channels, and which can be
viewed on the myspace below. The video was featured on NME's website last week
and made its debut on Rage last weekend. It will be appearing along with an
interview on Songwriters Across Australia on TVS & Channel 31 Melbourne in
coming weeks.
All of this is no overnight success however, principal band members Glenn Abbott
and Malina Hamilton-Smith are no strangers to the scene - Glenn being best known
for his work with Machine Gun Fellatio and Malina has been singing, dancing and
playing in various Sydney outfits for the past few years.
Their next live appearance is their EP launch, scheduled for Friday 11th July at
Candy's Apartment in Kings Cross, Sydney - stay tuned for details. The band will
also be playing a launch show in Wollongong on Thursday 17th July at the Oxford
Tavern.
Media Quotes;
The Music Network Hit Pick;
"....the track's stiff military groove, layered synths and evocative vocals work
to blend dance and rock into a provocative sound that's more infectious than the
plague...."
Drum Media - Michael Smith
"Super Massive are gloriously unreconstructed and joyous as they pump their way
through four big slices of dance floor-directed groove...."
Artist - Super Massive
Title - Super Massive
Released - May
Distributor - MGM
Launch - Friday 11th July, Candy's Apartment, Kings Cross, Sydney.
AVAILABLE AT ALL GOOD STORES ESPECIALLY JB HIFI, FISH & HUM

Reviews:
The Yearlings
Another roots act based in Adelaide, The Yearlings have once again come up with
a beautiful, tender album of original tunes from Robyn Chalklen and Chris
Parkinson. Fitting somewhere in between Gillian Welch and the Cowboy Junkies,
The Yearlings are in the best handful of country roots acts in the country and
on this their third album they have produced another cracker of a record.
Definitely worth checking out."Dave Clarke, Readings Bookstore - Carlton,
Victoria
The Yearlings' previous albums have hinted at great things to come and Highway
Dancing may just be it. Recorded in Brooklyn over four days and featuring
members of New York band Ollabelle, this is indeed a fully operational
Yearlings. From the opening title track, Robyn Chalklen's laid-back, fragile
vocals effortlessly counterpoint partner Chris Parkinson, particularly when he
takes the lead on tracks such as Will You Be Ready? and Sheets of the Night.
Impressive also is the songwriting, and Don't Feel Kind and Precious Time are
standouts. The presence of guitarist Larry Campbell, fresh from producing Levon
Helm's latest, Dirt Farmer, permeates the album, putting this Yearlings effort
into another league. From the pedal steel on The Waiting Song Campbell goes on
to provide everything from dobro to fiddle to mandolin. While the wider scope
that additional musicians afford give The Yearlings a change to spread their
wings, the most obvious impression throughout Highway Dancing is the great time
The Yearlings have had putting it together."
Tom Jellett - WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN 4/5

Central Desert of Australia. Originally from Melbourne, she moved to Alice

leave. Instead she has emerged onto the national music scene with a stunning
debut EP titled The Morning Tree. A collection of 6 and a half songs that
travel effortlessly back and forth between genres, with arrangements including
full strings, horns and breakbeats, 'it is the lush sound of the cello and her
unique captivating voice that make Mei Lai's music so enticing' (Triple J
Unearthed).

pedals made of disposed Russian tank parts, more than recording to 2" tape,
even more than a multitude of "duel-fuel" sessions with obscure keyboards,
tasty expensive American guitars, wall of sound recording and stacks of energy.

elevation in the music industry.
The Art of Men CD invites male solo artists and male fronted bands to

that we can all relate to and be inspired by. Promotion and distribution are
directed to music supervisors (film and television), music publishers,

MEDIA RELEASE
MEI LAI SWAN SIGNS TO VITAMIN RECORDS!
2008 looks prosperous for cello-playing, singer-songwriter Mei Lai Swan, as she
starts the year by signing a new distribution deal with Vitamin records. To add
to this excitement, Mei Lai was also on the roster for the popular Adelaide FUSE
Festival in February, and has been included on the latest edition of Foghorn's
'SoundLikeCafe ' compilation CD.
Home to artists such as David Lane, Coda, Inga liljestrom, Jesse Younan, Lucie
Thorne, Vitamin Records is the perfect place for Mei Lai Swan to see her music
soar to success.The current release is her mini album the Morning Tree which saw
unearthed success on Triple J late last year along with a host of positive
reviews.
The former Melbourne resident, now living in Alice Springs, expressed her views
saying "I'm very excited to be joining the roster of excellent artists at
Vitamin and receiving this great support for my music."
Vitamin Records is also looking forward to this new partnership commenting;
"Morning Tree is a beautiful selection of songs from an artist of great promise.
The songs are quirky yet mainstream, tuneful and yet hauntingly sparse. I think
Morning Tree is a great introduction to the, music of Mei Lai and the song 'Come
as You Are' is a standout"
Mei Lai has also just received the Triple J prize to attend the Apra S3 Summit
in Sudney so you can catch her LIVE at the songwriters summit showcase at The
Cat and Fiddle Hotel Balmain on Saturday April 5.
www.myspace.com/meilaiswan
"The quality of Mei Lai's work apparent in her song writing and performanc has
led me to regard her as a true artist." - Amira Pyliotis, aka Tecoma
"Absolutely beautiful." - Jacinta Parsons, 3 Triple R
A "one-of-a-kind multi-skilled iceberg." - Time Off Magazine
"As unique as Joanna Newsom, this music is stunning." - Rae Howell, Sunwrae

MEDIA RELEASE
MARCH 2008
As many Independent Artists find their niche in 2008 those of foghorn's stable
are finding an open ear in the media to kick off 2008 and coincide with touring.
2008 is set to be an exciting year for Foghorn, with plenty of media activity
for new releases from talented artists such as: The Woodenelves, Jude Elliot,
Chickenhead, Very Unique Existence, Penny Coco, Illicit Eve and Mei Lai Swan. A
new SoundsLike Café at Home retail compilation CD has been released with 'Grow
Your Own Upload 2' and Home Grown Roots Volume 3 to come later this year.
Jonathan Moran of the Sunday Telegraph gave Jude Elliot(MGM) a rave review for
her latest album Gentle Glimpse of Waking, awarding her a 'stellar effort' and
commending the diversity of her songs. Jonathan has also commended Very Unique
Existence and their debut EP likening them to Powderfinger and Jet (more on
V.U.E below).

Chickenhead(Itunes) is 'simply smokin' according to Paul Robinson's review in
the latest February edition of QANTAS Inflight magazine The Australian Way..
Referring to their mini album Jack of Diamonds as having 'Dirty, stompin', raw
blues power'.
(http://www.myspace.com/chickenheadband)
Very Unique Existence caught the ear of Michael Smith(Drum Media), who
expressed that the group delivered 'a crisp, strong and confident musicianship'
with their new EP Everyone. The four piece from Byron Bay have been receiving
plenty of media attention, with a review and emerging artists article in the
January 18 edition of The Music Network, commercial radio playlist adds around
the country and even college radio chart activity in the USA.
As young emerging artists, they are predicted to evolve into a 'worldwide
crowd-pleasing machine' in 2008 and judging from the fact that they have just
completed interviews for Rolling Stone mag and Billboard USA its not far wrong.

launch shows on the 28th of Feb with The Fuse Festival in SA. Mei Lai has been

unique captivating voice that make Mei Lai's music so enticing'.

from supports with The Black Crowes and Angie Hart they will be completing an
East Coast tour including FUSE festival throughout Feb and March before jetting
