November 16th 2013 sees The Evelyn Hotel play host to the launch of Major Tom & The Atoms debut album Heroes, Villains, Boom Boom Boom!
Building on their bedrock of toe-tapping rhythm and blues, Major Tom & The Atoms have constructed a towering and lasting monument to the fallen angels of rock with Heroes, Villains, Boom Boom Boom! The album explodes with Major Tom & The Atoms’ trademark live energy and boasts lashings of erudite and profound lyrics – it is a diverse and accomplished suite of songs painted in the comic-book colours of rock and roll.
These guys are no strangers to the airwaves. ‘Major’ Tom Hartney’s impressive pop pedigree traces back to Little Red, while The Atoms between them have served a life sentence at the coalface of rock. In just two years together, Major Tom & The Atoms have racked up a seriously impressive resume, scoring support slots with international acts like English garage legends The Pretty Things and high-profile TV synchs such as Hamish and Andy’s Gap Year.
Featuring the infectious groove of lead single Confusion, the nakedly auto-biographical Every Little Monkey and the ready-made festival sing-along anthem Lone Gun, Heroes, Villains, Boom Boom Boom! picks up where the Shake It Til You Break It EP took off (on the dancefloor), and takes the listener deeper on an electrifying safari through a jungle of howlin’ growlin’ blues to spy-chedelic junk-yard freakout. Throughout, this intoxicating brew of songs is masterfully infused with The Atoms’ peerless musicianship and Major Tom’s irresistible vocal roar.
Heroes, Villains, Boom Boom Boom! is scheduled for release on 18 November with a special Melbourne album launch party at The Evelyn Hotel on 16 November. Tickets on sale from Monday October 14th through Oz Tix with an exclusive bonus track on offer to those that purchase album and ticket bundle. Just purchase the bundle from Oz Tix and you will be contacted with your free download of ‘King of Fools’.
