Announce New Single and Batmania National Album Tour
I Won’t Stay Too Long is the next single from The Fearless Vampire Killers impressive debut LP, Batmania. This barefaced song encompasses the vibe of the 70’s as much as it does the sound. The retro surf-rock tune is “essentially about one night stands; being young and having flings with people just for the sake of it and in the end nothing really matters because we’re in our youth and we have all the time in the world to destroy relationships and start new ones. It’s the mentality of thinking you’re invincible really.”
Staying true to the sound that we have come to know and love, I Won’t Stay too Long is layered with musical texture that barrels through to a powerful finish and reinforces the claims that TFVK are “one of Australia’s greatest hidden gems”.

This is Roots – This is Rock – This is Reggae !! – THIS IS ZIGGY MARLEY.
The five-time Grammy Award-winning musician, actor, artist, activist and humanitarian, ZIGGY MARLEY returns to Australia after a five year absence. He’ll be featuring songs from his latest album, Wild and Free as well as all the favourites from his 3 other solo albums and those of the Melody Makers.
ZIGGY MARLEY, the son of the legendary Bob Marley is, to many, the embodiment of his father. It is almost eerie to see the similarity, and with his Roots-Rock-Reggae style, Ziggy is the Keeper of the Flame. A native of Kingston, Jamaica, ZIGGY MARLEY joined with his sisters Sharon and Cedella and brother Stephen to become Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers, allowing him to craft his own soulful sound which blends blues, R&B, hip-hop and roots reggae

Having just wrapped up a triumphant come-back tour with Sebadoh in September, one of the most prolific and influential songwriters of his generation Lou Barlow returns to Australia in solo mode this April. A founding member of Dinosaur Jr. and Sebadoh, two of the most acclaimed rock bands of the late 80s / early 90s, Lou is considered a pioneer of the lo-fi movement.
After parting ways with Dinosaur Jr. in 1989, Barlow turned his attention to side project Sebadoh and by 1993 had released six records and earned a devoted cult following. In 1994 Barlow formed Folk Implosion which stemmed his biggest commercial hit to date, a song written for the Kids soundtrack titled ‘Natural One’. In 2005, Barlow reunited with Dinosaur Jr. who have since released and reissued several albums and toured the world extensively.

LOS ANGELES February 12, 2012 (AP)
Whitney Houston, who ruled as pop music’s queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, has died. She was 48.
Houston’s publicist, Kristen Foster, said Saturday that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unknown.
News of Houston’s death came on the eve of music’s biggest night — the Grammy Awards. It’s a showcase where she once reigned, and her death was sure to case a heavy pall on Sunday’s ceremony. Houston’s longtime mentor Clive Davis was to hold his annual concert and dinner Saturday; it was unclear if it was going to go forward.
