Extended Family would like to say a big thank you to all those beautiful people that supported us on the Yesterday Morning Tour.
We had so much fun bringing the grooves for your moves and its awesome to see so many old friends and to make a whole lot of new ones.
'Yesterday Morning', and subsequent EP, was recorded by Michelle Barry at Albert Studios, well-known for numerous high selling recordings by AC/DC, The Angels and Rose Tattoo, was mixed by Paul McKercher (Augie March/Eskimo Joe/Midnight Oil etc) and mastered by Steve Smart @ Studios 301.
EP is available at shows.

On Thurs 19th Nov, at the Oxford Art Factory, three of Sydney's Hottest Funk/Soul acts come together to present a massive sweatathonic shakedown party of seismic proportions. With wildly stampeding rhythm sections fueling the roar of horns lines, Funkology is one booty grinding branch of knowledge that's sure to have the dance floor soaked through to its undies.

...Now a word from our sponsors ...
“Australia has a great tradition of exuberant, crowd-thrilling bands -- from Daddy Cool and Skyhooks, to Cat Empire and Machine Gun Fellatio.
Extended Family is the next in line. It's more than a band, it's a cult - and I want to join.” Richard Glover, Sydney ABC 702, October 2007
"By all reports, Extended Family are rapidly earning a reputation as an irresistible live band in the vein of Ozomatli or The Cat Empire ..."
Martin Jones, Managing Editor, Rhythms magazine, July 2007
"Shoe gazers, cynics and clique-hangers: be on notice - your attempts to resist the temptation to dance will be futile. You will dance. You will dance like an idiot. And you will love it."
Brett Winterford, Music Journalist, Sydney Morning Herald, 2006.
EXTENDED FAMILY
'Delta Disco Sex Funk'
From the husky delta of the steamy inner Sydney streets, comes a band who unravel contemporary roots, funk, soul and blues, to create something deliciously sexy and new that you can't help but groove to … Their infamously huge live show has secured industry attention, with one Australian "Cigar" legend describing Extended Family as "a cross between Sly and The Family Stone, and Frank Zappa".
