Laura Imbruglia- vocals, guitar, keys. Sometimes I have friends to accompany me and sometimes I don't. But...when I DO have friends on stage with me, I have a guy called Stiff on bass and lately I've had a dude called Jasper Fenton on the drums. These boys play geetar and sing too.

I've been laying low for the past 6 months to concentrate on writing for & recording album 2. It will feature songs about heartbreak, breatharianism and theft! I don't know what it'll be called yet, but dagnabbit, Nick Huggins did a great job of producing it. There will be singles before but look out for the album in early 2010! Here's a bit of what went on in the studio...
hey dude! wow great new songs, i love pauly and wouldnt be surprised the best! when u playing in melb next? let me know cos i wanna get you to play on my 3rrr show if u can :)
Hey Laura, how goes it? I finally got around to getting me a Harmony Rocket. She's the same as yours but red. Her name is Candy. Sweet. As. Hope yr well. Ash
Alice Cooper is going thru a mid life crisis don't ya think ? sheese throw it out there Buddie why don't ya and besides I'm mad at you...so you know that is...(insert mad face here)
Hey Laura! The new songs kick ass! Great :) Can't wait for your new release ... 'Pauly' reminds me a bit of early Liz Phair stuff with your distinctive trademark on it. All the best to Down Under :) xx Per
Got a friend who went to visit her family in Australia, and she got me back your album... which is great! Now she won the bet we made: I can't cut my hair for a year... It's going to be fun...
A green an black flannel for top dress,black is great and all but well you know it's a fable ...
A real pretty face with messed up pinned back hair and one of the best damned song writers this side of the Indian Ocean. that's what I see.The figurines screw it up for sending it to family members and clergy
NOT getting worse at all! Getting better all the time actually! Great new tracks!!! Must say I miss "I wanna throw stones" there. Suppose that is my problem. Any deeper meaning in that pic? Mercury at your feet? Tell me! Cheers! carl
excellent songs but you need your vox louder. is it too rock or am i too old. when it all... reminds me of mellow billy bragg. dont know if hes an influence. if not check him out. cheers and beers(cider for me)
You just can't wait can you ? with good reason mind you but still in all I get the feeling your busting at the seams to get this going ? Love the lyrics so many influences showing on these and I'm diggin' the upper vocal range you sport on the new tunes!
