THEART USA TOUR - GOODBYE

FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION

THEART LIVE @ THE ROXY

The Art:

The past 12 months have seen The Art move from strength to strength, making a name for themselves with their high energy rock show, captivating audiences across America. Having recently completed recording their debut album in Austin, Texas with Chris ‘Frenchie’ Smith (Jet, Trail Of The Dead, Dandy Warhols), they have returned home to join Marilyn Manson on his Australian tour. In Australia, The art have also toured with such as Sonic Youth, NIN, Eskino Joe and the list goes on

The band is currently based in LA with Worldsend Management and has toured America from coast to coast twice in 2009. In March they played showcases at the SXSW Festival and went on to play with Amanda Palmer, The Veronica’s, The Drones and The Grates, as well as headlining their own shows. Their unique and individual performance caught the attention of Frenchie Smith when he saw them play in New York earlier this year, deciding to record their album after seeing them again in Austin later that month.

Previously The Art recorded a self-titled E.P produced by Nick Launay (Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, Nick Cave, Supergrass, INXS) and released on his own US label, ‘Stick It To The Man’, followed by the successful independent release of single ‘Goodbye’ soon after. Their forthcoming album was mostly recorded at ‘The Bubble’, Frenchie’s own studio and will include tracks from both Nick Launay and Manny Nieto (The Breeders, Health, Rumspringa) that they recorded in LA during time off from touring.

The Art are a hard working and inspired group of people who came from an exciting past. They grew from Sydney based band, ‘The Follow’ who started out recording their first album, ‘Empty Orchestra’ with Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth. The Follow toured Australia continuously as well as supporting Sonic Youth, NIN, Team Sleep, Eskimo Joe, Children Collide. In 2006 They released an E.P titled ‘Hope You’re Happy’, produced by Nick Launay, through Warner (AUS) and in 2007 spent a month touring the UK where they released a 7” single, ‘Smashed Heart’ on UK independent label WCS. In 2008 The Follow decided to relocate to America where they met their current drummer and reformed as The Art.
