   About Somersault Music
Somersault Music began in 1998 with three CD releases by a trio of independent bands from Gippsland, Australia, and as the roster grew, we switched to web-based distribution in late 2002. Now our indie music sells to people everywhere - from Australia & NZ, to the USA & the UK, to Finland & India. The website undergoes continual updates and improvements, but the focus remains the same - great indie music from great indie artists.

Somersault Music is run by independent music devotees who believe the musical mantra "less is more" should apply whenever possible. So listing with Somersault Music is simple, and comes down to three main points:

> Setting up your listing costs you nothing No set-up fees and list as many products as you like. We only charge a commission on sales, so if you never sell anything, it won't cost you anything. Not that that's the idea.

> Your listing is non-exclusive This site was set up to help indie music, not hinder it

> Your music is available to anyone, anywhere, anytime We know most indie acts sell most of their product at live shows, but there's always someone who likes your stuff but just can't get there.

If you're a musician who funds, promotes and has control over your own music, check out Somersault Music - it could be for you.

I was in Baha, Rye today to check out the fab King Curly and I saw a poster for Kinematic, and now I know they're really good too!

That's all I wanted to say!

~ DC

PS: Well, maybe not all, cause I should also say I might press up some CDs someday and see if you guys will take a few on consignment.

Whats up Somersault Music? ;)

Hope you're feeling good!

How was your weekend?

The party we we're supposed to go to got cancelled in the last moment, so we (and the other 100 people who came by to Erez's house...) got some vodka instead & had a great time! ;)

This week we'll probably continue working on a new Oud-based free-style tune which is turning out a killer!

So... any plans for the week?

Keep in touch & have a killer time!

Hey Bookworm,
Click on the image below to rate/review or just listen to the latest recording from The Adult Bookstore; 'It Happened In A Room', on Triple J's Unearthed.

This wont be the final version of the recording, but we just wanted to have something new up on the site. The JJJ encoding seems to pretty much erase the bass aswell for some reason, which is disappointing. Download it to hear properly.
