What started out in the middle of the night years ago turned into a band which made a record..... "all grimy and warm.....moody and morbid lyrical warnings delivered in murderous strains....." Silver City Highway have released their debut album Everything Is Breaking, recorded by Aaron Cupples (The Drones, Dan Kelly), through Green Media/MGM Distribution. Renowned for their rock, psych and country lineage Silver City Highway are a seven piece outfit with a big Australian Rock’n’Roll heart and a Melbourne soul.
"Cosmic-country, space-jam, wig-out slowly, blues-folk, junk-rock, honest, missing… a fair, formidable songwriting voice, wanna stay. Visceral, brooding - utter mess - gurgling flashes, intense, coherence, heart, munted, pure and beautiful." Comprising members from SubAudible Hum, Redfish Bluegrass Band and The Union, each member brings in their own flavour making The Highway one of the must see bands in the country. With the help of Aaron Cupples (The Drones, Dan Kelly, James McCann's Dirty Skirt Band and The Alpha Males), the album was recorded the old fashion way, arranging microphones, amplifiers and instruments to best capture the tones and subtleties that the band are renowned for: epic rise and fall arrangements and quiet gentle heart felt male ballads.

Hey guys, I'm going to put some spam on your wall and hope that, just maybe, it entices you to come to one of our gigs at Old Bar. I mean, Tom Woodward and myself do look fairly scary and enticing... x Tiana
Saint Jude wish to submit a blanket apology for their drummer's drunken behaviour on Friday night, which may, or may not have included: 1. repeatedly telling all and sundry that you sounded like The Band 2. hugging your drummer 3. losing his decency while tripping over his ego
Anyway, suffice to say, he really enjoyed the gig.
