"Pure Genius"
Rolling Stone
Adam Green will be leaving his New York home this December to perform at the Meredith Music Festival, along with three headline shows around the country promoting his fifth solo album, “Sixes & Sevens”.
Adam’s irreverent wit and pop sensibilities were established early on as a teenager with his first band, the much loved Anti-Folk heroes MOLDY PEACHES. Formed with his bunnysuit-wearing-partner-in- crime Kimya Dawson (Adam sported a Robin Hood costume at the time), the band captivated critics and won fans around the world, while propelling New York’s Anti-Folk scene to international prominence. Both Adam and Kimya experienced a resurgence earlier this year when the Peaches were featured on the soundtrack of hit indie film, JUNO, including the anti-love song duet between Adam Green and Kimya Dawson, “Anyone Else But You”.
Adam went on to experience success as a solo artist, a career that is now five albums deep. It was Adam’s second solo album “Friend Of Mine” released in 2003 that revealed his innate ability to pen a truly off-kilter folk song, including the single “Jessica” a comic ode to Jessica Simpson that can still make you simultaneously chuckle and weep. It’s no wonder MOJO referred to him as an "unexpectedly rich talent". And Julian Casablancas of THE STROKES says of Adam: “It always amazes me how he can express such deep meaning with such twisted humor. Adam is eccentric and down-to-earth, with new found technical proficiency over a wider spectrum of styles. I love it.”
His latest album “Sixes & Sevens” was released in March 2008 on Rough Trade Records.

SWEET DISPOSITION SINGLE LAUNCHES
Respected Melbourne four piece The Temper Trap return to the live front to celebrate the release of their latest single, Sweet Disposition, taken from their forthcoming debut album. Recently recorded in Melbourne with esteemed UK producer Jim Abbiss (Massive Attack, DJ Shadow, Arctic Monkeys) the record’s rich and sophisticated soundscapes are nothing short of epic.
The band have emerged from the recording session as a tight knit creative force, producing a dynamic single that is a giant leap from their earlier EP of two years ago and undeniably delivers on all of their promise.
The single launches are the beginning of a massive twelve months ahead for the boys with a busy summer touring schedule of festivals and overseas shows confirmed.
The Temper Trap will have a limited edition 12" available at these shows with remixes from such underground luminaries as Curtis Vodka (Bjork, Silversun Pickups, Kid Sister) and Pocketknife (Spank Rock, David Bowie, Feist, Sufjan Stevens) for this release.

Melbourne band THE BASICS have thus-far made a living out of revisiting the music of yesteryear, but now they're doing a retrospective of their own by reissuing Get Back, their little known debut album from 2002, remastered and repackaged as an hors d'oeuvre of sorts to THE BASICS upcoming new recordings.
