MySpace a place for friends

Based in Brisbane, Australia, The Gin Club are a musical collective who perform an eclectic mix of rock, pop, folk, blues, country, and everything in between.

Drawing influence from the attitudes of artists such as The Band, Neil Young and The Wu-Tang Clan, The Gin Club's Live show is instrument-swapping madness, rousing choruses and heartbreak backed by cello, accordion, Hammond organ and heaps of guitars – The word is spreading and they’re steadily collecting avid fans of all ages everywhere they go.

This inimitable troupe have toured Australia and abroad, playing with many varied acts such as Paul Kelly, The Drones, Tim Rogers, You Am I and Pete Murray, as well as performing at major events including The Big Day Out, East Coast Blues and Roots, Splendor in the Grass, Woodford Folk Festival, Canadian Music Week, Musicexpo LA and many more.

After the critical success of 2008’s epic release; ‘Junk’, travelling abroad and recording their new album, this unique musical collective are returning to Australian radio and touring in the late half of 2009.

You can expect to hear the tasters of the new album (due out early 2010); “Rain” and “Chopping Wood” through your wireless in late October. The release of these tracks will be celebrated by a national tour and festival appearances in November and beyond.

	Junk Plus One Records CD Released: 2008 "With this third album, they've harnessed all that creative energy and ambition and crafted a recording with all the beauty and terror an inexorable force of rock music at its finest. Don't miss it." Noel Mengel, The Courier Mail "It's difficult to do justice to this sprawling epic using mere words, but suffice to say Junk is a peerless record of world class standard - that an album of this quality has been made in our own backyard makes one proud to be associated with the Brisbane musical fraternity. Exquisite." Steve Bell, Time Off

Nice (***1/2)" - Rolling Stone Magazine "My favorite album of 2004."Ian Haug, Powderfinger, Rolling Stone Magazine Nov 04 "The sound of convict folk...inspired just as much by sea shanties and traditional ballads, jigs and reels as the more contemporary sounds of The Triffids, Iron and Wine and the Pogues".
