The John Steele Singers – ‘Smashing the speed of Sound on An Empty Lake In Utah’
A while ago I posted a band called Stature:Statue. The drummer Ross emailed me a few weeks ago about his side project, The John Steele Singers, 6 piece Beach Boys-ish brass/pop band from Brisbane. I went to see them play in Melbourne in Geddes Lane and unfortunately for them that was the shittiest sounding room in town, so they played a really short set and didn’t show off much after travelling over 2000kms for this gig. But the recordings sounds great, and they were once approached by the late Grant McLennan of the Go Betweens after a performance in Brisbane. Talk about a confidence booster. Their 5 track EP is out now, watch out for an album.
