Hi Music Fan!

We know you are a fan of cool new music and have selected you to receive a FREE Mp3 download and a FREE embeddable media player for a new band we think you will like. They are: Augie March from Melbourne Australia.

It's never easy to pinpoint exactly where Augie March are coming from, but it's abundantly clear where they're not. They're a band apart from the nowhere music that's everywhere and maybe a century or two removed from the desperate bang and chatter of the vapid pop/ rock zeitgeist.

Moo, You Bloody Choir is the album in question. "One Crowded Hour", the song that sets the scene quoted above, is a typically loaded invitation into Augie March's world. It spins from a gentle finger-picked waltz into an epic melodrama piled high with layers of fleeting joy and dashed hope, all gathering spin under some drunken mirror ball.

"Thin Captain Crackers"? "The Baron of Sentiment"? Are they Dickensian caricatures, dry biscuits or some half-imagined pub in Carlton? "Bolte and Dunstan" are covered in ancient pigeon poop, but they're still talking in murmurs to suited commuters rushing the streets of Melbourne.

"I wrote quite a lot of these songs when I was living in East Melbourne, that old money area," says Glenn, the singer/songwriter frontman. "Thin Captain Crackers" was literally looking from the window of my bedsit onto the main street, then imagining Ned Kelly riding up the street.
