About Me |
|
| There's no place like a new home. Fourth Floor Collapse upped stumps in 2005 and shifted their base from Perth to Melbourne. Crossed the Plain to play to more people, more often and with a new record under tucked under their collective wings too. 'Books with Broken Spines' is the band's third album and was released in February 2006 to the usual hoo-ha. First single, Drink Till You Drown, got a flogging on the wireless and the second, Occupation, started its occupation of the airwaves in the final week of May.
So here we are. About 250 shows since Dan, Rhys and Michael first played together in Dan's garage as 14-year olds. Yes, it goes back to the schoolyard. Over the next few years they set about becoming the most awarded unsigned band in Australia (10 WAMIs, Australian Live Music Awards, assorted songwriting prizes...), released an EP and a trio of albums, a bunch of singles, gained a following around the country, had national tours, got good airplay from community to commercial radio, got a MySpace site...all that jazz.

So what you waiting for. : : : : Be more than Friend, be a Backstage Member: Sounds Like: In the reviews for the latest album, those writing people have said we sound like the following bewildering bunch of totally unrelated bands: Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Augie March, Coldplay, U2, Radiohead, The Polyphonic Spree, Split Enz, Pink Floyd, Powderfinger, Starsailor, Turin Brakes, Badly Drawn Boy, Eskimo Joe, Delta Goodrem (just seeing if you were paying attention)...so take from that list what you will and listen to the tracks. They're just up there... We think it's kinda layered, to remain interesting after lots of listens. You'll hear vocals and sometimes whole choirs, an army of guitars, bass, drums, flutterings of electronics, pianos, keyboards, sleigh bells, banjos and mandolins doing cameos, small children, talkback radio, bells that chime, bottlecaps and coins, foot stomps and handclaps.
