Born out of a backward Caravan Park somewhere between Tenterfield and Deep Water, "The Late Night Sound" arrive. Now they are here. The sound is for "now people" - for moderns. They sing with a road-worn voice, but with "honesty". It's the sound of those at one with the early hours. Sing along. Join in. - - - - - - - - - - - - "Recently formed and most appropriately named, this unique four-piece were a delight to behold. Think late smoky nights, roadhouse blues and melancholy at the bottom of a whiskey bottle. Think Sandy Shaw meets Scott Walker with a hint of early Belle and Sebastian and a touch of Mazzy Star. A glorious melting pot indeed. Their nostalgic and at times, mellow early ‘60s sound was enhanced by the beauty of a flute and then souped up with some filthy big bass. They defy categorisation really – I just suggest you watch out for them in 2008. They deserve big fat love." courtesy of FasterLouder.com.au, May 2008 - - - - - - - - - -
