Electro-rockers Grafton Primary continue to rise. Their EP Relativity has just been nominated for two AIR Awards: Best Australian Independent Single/EP, and Best Australian Independent Dance/Electronica Release. The AIR Awards are run by the Australian Independent Record Labels Association for 100% independent artists. The 2008 Awards ceremony will be held at The Corner Hotel in Melbourne on Monday 24 November.
Since releasing their stunning debut album Eon in September this year, Grafton Primary have gone on to invoke stage invasions, create frenzies at the Parklife Festivals, and now the band continue to rock dance floors around the nation on their triple j presented Eon Album Tour (Part 2).
Grafton Primary bring their riotous electro party to Sydney and Newcastle this week, before making their way to Victoria, Tasmania, and Canberra before coming home to play the Homebake Festival, and bringing in the New Year at both Falls Festival events.
Grafton Primary’s album Eon, which came out on September 13, debuted at #1 on the iTunes Dance/Electronic Chart and #7 iTunes on the main chart, continues to gather praise from the punters and the pundits.
The first single ‘She Knows It’ is now available on iTunes with three remixes by Swiss
duo Cryptonites (Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay), New York programming wunderkind Kap10kurt (Dave Gahan, The Bravery, Moby) and Grafton Primary (Faker, Dukes Of Windsor) themselves!
Grafton Primary show their colours, bright and true on Eon - they make their stand here and now.
