BEC AND BEN
PRESENTED BY JUSTINE

http://www.facebook.com/becandben
http://www.soundcloud.com/becandben

Formed in the winter of 2011 on the back end of an experimental romance, the duo create rebellious, rhythm driven rock music best described by the listener.

Bec and Ben are currently recording their EP - to be released autumn 2012.

Bec and Ben strive to produce honest songs to share with more people than just their complaining neighbours. The duo struggle to liken themselves to any particular predecessor and revel in exploring the ideals of desert sex and wild horse

They met.
They fell in love.
They wrote songs.
They fought.
They made up.
They broke up.
They wrote songs.

at a time when for most it would be the end of a relationship, for The Falls this feels like it is just the beginning...

Almost subconsciously they have documented their whole relationship in their songs. The love, the betrayal, the heartbreak. While at times it is hard for them to wear their hearts so openly on their sleeve, for The Falls, it has been a huge part of their songwriting. As Stevie Nicks said "devastation leads to writing good things".

In the fallout from Valentines Day, The Falls decided that rather than wallowing in self pity they would put their heartbreak to tape. So they pulled out their little tascam 4-track portastudio, which, with all its tape wobbles and noise, aptly captured the fragility of their hearts. These fledgling recordings were just the beginning of what has become their debut EP 'HOLLYWOOD' (due for release on June 1st 2012).

In late 2011, The Falls hit the studio with producer Tony Buchen (Old Man River, Andy Bull, WIM, Washington) to record 'HOLLYWOOD'. The song, and the EP. The Hotel Hollywood has featured so strongly in their lives that it was inevitable that it would manifest itself in this way. It is where they met and it is also where they can be found playing each week at a new little, somewhat undiscovered, night of free music that has emerged from the back streets of Surry Hills called FOLK CLUB. Every Wednesday, publican and Hollywood starlet, Dorris Goddard is playing host to a night of nu-folk/alt-country/melodramatic pop at the Hotel Hollywood, and The Falls are the artist in residence.

"The Hollywood is about as intimate a venue as you can hope for when seeing a band (falling just short of a walk-in closet). And this is a good thing. Especially when you're so close to a band like The Falls making mellow, folk music in a chilled out environment."
Wilfred Brandt -- twothousand.com.au

In this intimate setting, the connection between these two onstage is palpable. Their emotionally fuelled live performances are compelling to watch, sometimes heartbreakingly so, garnering reviews such as "intoxicating melodies and gorgeous harmonies" and "(their) strength lies in their ability to convey raw emotion and wisdom in their lyrics".

Buchen managed to imprint some of this Hollywood magic on each track, recording the reverbs for the EP down in the bowels of the hotel, in the downstairs men's toilets. So, each song has on it a little Hollywood porcelain reverb or 'pee-verb' as they've been calling it :)

With an unmistakable sound, barefoot collaborators and best friends The Falls are definitely worth watching out for in 2012.

Tune in again tomorrow!!

CHECK OUT FANNY LUMSDEN at http://www.facebook.com/fannylumsdenmusic/info

Fanny Lumsden grew up on a farm far out west, near country town Weethalle NSW and found her unique sound surrounded by rolling hills and countless cups of tea. From a family of musicians Fanny has hit our city streets with her own folkabilly style, quickly diving in to the Sydney gig and festival trail like a duck takes water.

CHECK OUT LACHY at http://www.facebook.com/LachyDoley/info

It's been said (mostly by record company sorts), that just because indie artists can make their own albums doesn't necessarily mean they're capable of doing a good job of it. If that's true then Lachy Doley is an exception to the rule.
Lachy Doley is an artist with a huge track record, having trodden the boards in the employ of some enormous names in Australian music, but with the launch of his first solo outing 'Typically Individual Conforming Anti-Social' Doley proves himself qualified to go it alone.
Soulful, with a pop sensibility, Lachy's new album packs the musical punch that those 'in the know' have come to expect from one of Australia's brightest musical talents. The new album hints at a large catalogue of influences, The Jam, Spencer Davis Group, a little Gotye and features a re-animation of Nick Kershaw's 80's classic 'Wouldn't it Be Good' for good measure.
Not content with just working as keyboard player for Powderfinger, Jimmy Barnes, The Beautiful Girls, Billy Thorpe (and everyone else), and having honed his own voice with his previous project The Hands (which also starred brother Clayton) Lachy made some time in his busy schedule to produce, record and mix the new album at Big Jesus Burger Studios and in his own HiFiDoleyT studios. The album also features guest appearances from Jak Housden (The Whitlams, The Badloves) on guitar, Terepai Richmond (Missy Higgins, The Whitlams) on drums and Dario Bortolin (Jimmy Barnes) on bass.
Join Lachy Doley as he launches his spanking new solo album 'Typically Individual Conforming Anti-Social', along with help from his killer band as they hit the road this November for a whirlwind launch tour taking in the Australian east coast.

TUNE IN AGAIN TOMORROW!!
