   About Extended Family



'The Family Business'
...News Just in....


..National Singles Tour..

Extended Family is packing up the car and hitting the road for a string of dates over the next couple of months starting the last weekend in May to promote their New Single

'Yesterday Morning'

'Yesterday Morning' is a punchy little number, more hard hitting compared to previous releases whilst still retaining the sense of fun, vibrancy and energy that 'The Family' is renowned for in their stage shows.

'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.



Hope to see you at one of our shows.





Extended Family Hits Victoria!!!

Extended Family
will be launching Yesterday Morning through out Melb/Victoria from 11th-25th July

Check upcoming shows for details....

...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".
