About Me and the Grownups

Me and the Grownups have been together since November 2006. We launched our first album, Battling the Mountains, the Sky and the Sea in February 2008, and it will be distributed by Planet/MGM from July. Our backgrounds are diverse – Anita has her roots in singer-songwriting and traditional folk, Adrian is a jazz guitarist and Dreyfus was once a classical violinist and composer. Despite these differences, we are very close, and share an amazingly similar musical vision.

What the critics are saying...

As indie surprise of the year, this will be tough to beat.
Jesse Shrock
Beat Magazine

The Grownups’ debut LP is one of those rare gems that reveal so much more with every rotation…a record that cannot, in fact, be compared.
Julia Winterflood
BMA Magazine

Breathtaking, surprising, intelligent and soulful. Adjectives abound!
Jason Kenny
Drum Media Perth

This is no rock’n’roll, guitar/bass/drums trio, that’s for sure - in fact, they may have already achieved their aim after only a year or so of existence, of creating their own genre, their own niche... Its power to draw you in is what makes it stand up, as it’s not really my cup of tea, and yet I couldn’t not listen to the end.
Sam Fell
Rhythms

Whatever genre you call them, Me and the Grownups have an amazing sensibility for music as art.
Bronia Kornhauser
AJN Melbourne

Full of endearingly heart-on-your-sleeve tracks.
Matthew Heath
Canberra Times

Intelligent fun.
Rohan Trollope
The Age EG

Battling the Mountains... is a masterwork, a record of such penetrating emotion and beauty that its very existence [as a debut] is improbable...
Gideon Stone
SputnikMusic.com

Beauty, as Me and the Grownups perceive it, is the core value, even if that beauty can seem darkly uncomfortable. The rest is the sound, image and dreams of human frailty weaving together.
Michael Smith
Drum Media

Available from July 2008 on Planet/MGM.

ELIYA	Jul 3 2008 10:10 AM i am so happy for you all. you seem to be doing really well. have you finished recording any of the new stuff?
sannoie	Jul 2 2008 11:28 PM why did i add? what sort of a question is that? anyway, im a friend of adams..in his class :) x
lola	Jul 1 2008 7:23 AM Anita! I miss you, and we must meet soon for lunch and to an Oppe Shoppe...!
Moroccan Kings	Jun 30 2008 12:12 AM it is a bit tight. but i like it
James	Jun 29 2008 11:41 PM In your eternal, unquenchable, inscrutable thirst for my ass, you neglected the innocent, virgin truth right in front of you. Your appeal lies in the slightly pornographic transformation of Harry, Ron and Hermione. That's the secret, thats how you communicate with an audience. You say clearly and without sarcasm that hogwarts is real and that we will live happily ever after in the profound, magical, mysterious depths of your collective voice.
James	Jun 25 2008 10:27 PM You're the best dressed band in Melbourne. I want to see fawnskins, crowns of ivy and a thyrsus in Anita's hand next time. Shout like Phrygians, sing out the tunes you know, While the sacred pure-toned flute Vibrates the air with holy merriment, In time with the pulse of the feet that flock To the mountains, to the mountains!
lola	Jun 20 2008 12:21 AM yeah, its my holidays now! i haven't been on myspace for two weeks, so sorry for not answerinsooner but homework:( when you want to meet?!
Realise Your Dream	Jun 11 2008 5:51 PM Thanks for adding us :: Realise Your Dream \| British Council www. realiseyourdream. org. au
James	Jun 9 2008 12:09 AM You're so lucky. Self-respecting, unaffected, talented, pure and honest younglings.. I'm depressed. I hate myself. I only visit your page to listen to your music, because I could never afford the album. And then, appalled at the lack of comments, I spin some bullshit about this or that.. blah, blah de fucking blah
Bobby James (NEW SONG UP!)	May 29 2008 7:27 PM hi, i really like your music.. i will definately try see you guys at bennents lane:) i hope u like mine tunes.. peace x
James	May 24 2008 1:57 AM I must be slipping. No one is more capable of humiliating me publicly than myself, especially when a computer is near. I hope to see a few songs tonight, before chasing the tide. Your devoted shit teller, James.
ELIYA	May 20 2008 8:24 PM hello my loves! i see you have more gigs grownup sundays at bennets lane. ohhh wow. i miss you guys and i am listening to you a lot over here. good luck with everything xoxox
Belle Phoenix Music	May 19 2008 9:33 PM Of course with great pleasure the remnants of Belle will attend your fine night of mystical music! X
James	May 7 2008 8:26 PM Your toff gig. I would like to make it, because I will be in the state. Now, if you were honest, will you really start at 9 pm sharp? I have a prior engagement in Fitzroy. Naturally, I don't expect to pay. You could see my show, and drink my rider afterwards, if you ask no questions and do what you have to do. A complimentary pint of Erdinger stout, and I might post a bulletin about you, encouraging my friends to give up on the animal with a bone in it's penis (hence, a bone on), and go to see your shows instead. I suppose the question at the tip of everybody's tongues is the average prick sizes of the bonepalace and the grownups. Oh, Anita, you still don't know me. But, would you consider marrying me?
laura michelle	May 7 2008 5:01 PM harlablabkla bla bal sy hldkcjn lzxdhkvsy gdbx.m, he;rjhnm,;cx hmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn....
ELIYA	May 5 2008 3:06 PM hahahhaha O'tool great! i wish i could come to the Toff gig!
O’Tool	May 1 2008 6:19 AM Check out O'Tool! Love Adrian (thats right, the guitarist of Melbourne sensation, Me and the Grownups. )
UIST	Apr 30 2008 4:37 AM
Doug	Apr 29 2008 6:50 PM get back to whatever it is you do Dreyfus. you shouldn't be online.

James	Apr 16 2008 9:22 PM I've been a terribly lazy fan. I feel like I've cheated you every time I missed a gig. Such horrible, irreparable calamities, these infidelities. A little piece of me died every time. I'm buying a CD next time. And an immaculate feast.
qp jOhNnY qp	Apr 16 2008 6:02 AM Great to be friends! Hope you like my little songs. :) Johnny
Princess	Apr 14 2008 5:12 AM wow u guys were amazing last night!! absolutely brilliant. and i agree that song...penis or wateva is going 2 be an absolute hit! u guys are stunning and i cant wait 2 c u play again... from a big fan aka adams friend xx
ELIYA	Apr 13 2008 8:07 PM the show last night at the paris cat was beautiful. delicious, cosy, intense and fantastic. 'Penis' aka 'paintings' is going to be a real gem of a song. I love you guys and i had a fucking great time staying with you. Probably won't see you play for quite a long time. It upsets me greatly. Also that i won't see you... love eliya
Faux Pas	Apr 3 2008 9:18 PM
ELIYA	Mar 31 2008 8:28 PM what a beautiful background i feel so honored haha
ϟgrace	Mar 26 2008 5:12 AM cheers dears.
S_A_E Photog.	Mar 26 2008 3:54 AM Hey guys, Thanks for the add :) I'll be coming along to your gig at the Toff hopefully, to take some photographs too if it's alright with you all? I'd really like it if you'd have a look at a couple of my photos on my Flickr account too :) I might see you around Monash again sometime :) Cheers, Sofie
James	Mar 25 2008 4:08 AM I didn't drink my money away this time, but I couldn't get out of work. Since that particular evening however, I have thrown it all away once again. Japanese girls give great head. Adrian.. come and drink with me. How about a road trip.. I supply the materials we talked about (and cook them) and you drive. Anywhere, it doesn't matter. Love.
ELIYA	Mar 25 2008 1:37 AM There are a few photos up now from Manchester lane in my Melbourne- part 2 album on Facebook. pretty average photos though.
laura michelle	Mar 21 2008 1:54 AM damn right top friends ;)
ELIYA	Mar 19 2008 10:07 PM do you want the photos from last night as well? They aren't that great. You guys are amazing. Love Eliya
Dear Dawn [New Songs Up]	Mar 19 2008 9:18 PM Brilliant show last night guys! Thanks again for having us, we had a top night.... Stace + Dear Dawn
vj - netzair	Mar 19 2008 5:17 PM great job last night :) the video clip was amazing!! Anita I left the dvd with Jonathan. bye xo
ARABesqu	Mar 16 2008 4:41 PM ahh i carn't wait to see guys its been too long and i carn't wait to see the video clip which i helped with. Excitment all around. xxxx
James	Mar 15 2008 8:59 PM Let's face it, I was going to as many g-ups gigs as you guys at one stage. I deserve a cut of your fame. And a pity fuck or 3. I expect to see you Wednesday, if I don't drink all my money away between times.
Dan Valentine	Mar 13 2008 6:27 PM love the sounds ♥
