   About Rod Ladgrove & The Eastwoods

HIGH IDEALS

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rod Ladgrove started out on the sidewalk in 2003, gaining renown as the ‘Beatle Busker’ in Brisbane’s Queen Street Mall.

Wanting to concentrate on his own music, in 2005 Rod set off for London, spending a year playing around the city, and taking in sets at the acclaimed ‘Virtual Acoustic Club’ and ‘Notting Hill Gate’.

The resulting first album, “Snapshots”, was released to critical praise the following year. First single “Lonely Old People” received nationwide airplay on ABC radio, and was nominated for the QMusic ‘Song of the Year’ award in the folk category. Other singles “Ascot Park” and “Snapshots” were featured on Triple J’s ‘top-shelf’ program, as was “Van Nguyen”, the folk-rock biopic of the executed Australian drug smuggler. Rod took “Snapshots” on the road in 2007, playing to acclaim at folk festivals in Mt. Beauty, Uranquinty and the Adelaide Fringe Festival.

For new album “High Ideals”, Rod has enlisted Adelaide band ‘The Eastwoods’ (Josh Marks, Tristan Marks and Peri Strathearn). The new material showcases a harder, bluesier edge; from Josh Marks’ smoky solo in “Strange Companion”, to Tristan’s crunchy drums in the edgy “Believe In You”, to Peri’s signature melodic bass lines. Somewhere in the mix, however, remains Rod’s familiar voice, singing the trademark insightful lyrics found in “Snapshots”.

The subject matter has matured; where “Snapshots” was inspired by youthful travels, “High Ideals” is in context of the global credit crisis and consumerism.

2009 sees the Eastwoods taking High Ideals to a growing Chinese fan-base, before bringing the album back home. Keep an eye out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

在2003年时,Rod Ladgrove 就在Brisbane布里斯班开始了自己的音乐生涯,做现场表演。他受披头士的影响,还在布里斯班皇后广场的商业街上演奏披头士的经典歌曲。

  2005年,Rod开始把自己的目光倾注于国外,并开始在伦敦和纽约工作和生活,与此同时,他们开始寻找自己的音乐风格,并在伦敦相当有名气的Virtual Acoustic俱乐部及Notting Hill Gate演出,获得好评。Rod于2006年在澳洲阿德莱德发行了他的音乐作品,这张专集受这几年在外生活的经验启发。Rod的新歌还是走的民谣路线,同时包含现代风格。

  他的第一首单曲──孤独的老人,在ABC广播站全国的广播站播放,得到当年最佳民歌奖的提名。Van Nguyen’这首歌讲的是一个判死刑的运毒犯,这首歌一直被国家网络“JJJ”的广播站播放,“Ascot Park’这首歌也是。在2006年和2007年中,Rod又继续在悉尼进行演出,为民歌节表演。与此同时,Rod也在阿德莱德的集合地---- Grace Emily and Jade Monkey进行演出。   在2008年时,他继续和他的乐队在阿德莱德当地进行商演,在Art Council拨款的支持下,他们在韦克菲尔德的Fat Trax 工作室录唱片。现在25岁的Rod Ladgrove带着他最新的一张专集 ──“最高理想”继续进行表演,还加入了The Eastwoods乐队。这几首新歌有了新的变化,展示了现代摇滚和吉他独奏声音的完美结合,同时保持了和以前专集‘Snapshots’里的有深刻意义的歌词标准。
