Bio
The Long Goodbyes are still on holiday. They will be returning in 2010 with a stack of new songs "We rarely hear the inward music, but we are all dancing to it nevertheless..." ~ Rumi .... Springing from the creative watering ground of Australias NSW South Coast, this three piece ensemble is poised to once again inspire the music industry with their lilting yet vibrant, groove-induced, world-friendly tunes. After listening to their recently released first single New thought, Fox Studios director Christopher Collins selected the band as the winners of a full production music video, scheduled for imminent release on Rage and Aurora. Collins company Flickapolitan Films has produced clips for a string of high profile artists during the eighties such as Chris Rea, Sam Brown and Howard Jones. After abandoning his search for a new sound in Sydney, Christopher stumbled across New Thought while hanging out down south and promptly signed the Long Goodbyes up for the shoot. The video is an ethereal montage of pre-Raphaelite motifs. The band has an eclectic mix of creative souls. The voice of singer/songwriter and artist Tracy Verdugo has been long compared to both free spirited Kate Bush, and Harriet Wheeler of the Sundays. Her passionate display of emotion is evident in all she sings or paints. National award winning songwriter/guitarist Mex from the former Indie pop band Twinfish is also a talented engineer, recording and mixing all Long Goodbyes songs and mentoring others who have the burning desire to pursue their music. .. .. ...... .. .. .. ............Myspace Layouts.... - ....Sexy Girls Myspace Layouts...... ....Myspace Codes.... - ....Myspace Generators.... - ....Myspace Backgrounds.... .. .... ..
