Melbourne band THE BASICS have got a very well made video clip spruiking their latest - check it out - it's great!
Music video for the band The Basics. Director: Matt Arnold. Producer: Josh Butt. Production Company: Scarab Studio. THE BASICS upcoming new recordings.
Before a larger national tour later in the year THE BASICS will be celebrating the reissue by dusting off their jackets, polishing their boots and embarking on an East Coast tour throughout August to reacquaint those fans with their stomping sound.
The band, which played their first gigs under the name The Big Nothing and then The Big Something, officially became known as THE BASICS in early 2002. Wally De Backer (now also doubling as the human face of Gotye), Kris Schroeder
and Michael Hubbard recorded the cheekily titled GET BACK, an album of all original songs with heart and influence worn proudly on the sleeve (Hubbard, now of Downhills Home, left the group in mid 2004 and was replaced by Tim Heath).
GET BACK was knocked over from go to whoa in six days; four recording, two mixing, and a quick three hour mastering session. And now, six years after the fact, that prospect is now a reality. The original 1000 CDs sold out long ago, and before the release of new material that will see THE BASICS finally progress into territory they can shamelessly call their own, the time seems right to stop and take a look back at their humble beginnings.
GET BACK will be released on August 2nd through MGM Distribution and available at all good record stores and of course, iTunes.
