   About THE CHEMIST

I once read on the back of an orange juice lid that Albatross can sleep whilst flying...

A very dear friend of mine asked me, "How would a scientist learn this piece of information? What tests would be performed?"

I thought about it for a couple of days & realized Albatross most likely snore.

Some reviews:

"When the group gurgles to life it's like watching a mutant circus of demented musicians. Front-man Ben Witt is one of those entertaining little bastards that you just can't peel your eyes, or ears, away from and is constantly giving the impression that Billie Holiday's ghost is trapped inside his body. Opening with the haunting Stars followed by Don't Look Down, it's instantly a challenge to articulate what these guys sound like...How about 'really god-damned excellent'?" - Luke Ramshaw, Space Ship News

"If you have yet to see this band – do it. They are required viewing for any alt-rock fan, but fans of any specific genre could appreciate The Chemist’s craftsmanship and imagination...The Chemist feature moments of the blissful absurd, they contrast these phases with fractured pop darkness.” - X-press, Laura Glitsos

Heya, apologies for the business like message, I'm a lover not a spammer, but I'm swinging around my friends pages letting people know my album Inkstains is *finally* dropping next week (November the 27th) in stores and online via iTunes. To celebrate the launch date I'm streaming the entire thing online from my Myspace exclusively for the next week, so if you're curious to give it a listen then I would really appreciate you taking a few minutes to drop by and check it out.

Presuming that for some insane reason you love it and can't be without the CD a moment longer I'm running signed pre-orders through JB HI-FI. These aren't going for long so if you want a piece of the action swing by http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/music/urban-grooves/inkstains/470165 and cop it


Love you lots, drop by and say Hi :)
