Dan Kelly & The Ukeladies : Australian Tour
|
More Dan Kelly: Album Review | Live Review
For
regualar Web Wombat Music readers, you will know that we here in the
Wombat offices have a slight musical obsession with Dan Kelly.
So it's with great joy that we can announce that, after quite a significant time out of the spotlight, the great man is back!
On
a small island off Western Samoa, a lone ukulele chimes under the cries
of starving seagulls, beyond the crash of surf on the bleached reef,
factory ships scour the ocean floors.
Meanwhile on the beach
three voices croon in sweet harmony, an island chorus, "As the sun
sets, sing along, a simple tunes for cultures burned and gone…."
It is the ghost of Elvis, with two young Hollywood starlets?
Is it Enrique Iglesias holidaying with two soulful Russian tennis players?
No! Its Dan Kelly and The Ukeladies!!!!!!
With
the planet in peril, Dan Kelly has taken time off recording his third
album to team up with Melbourne’s premier faux Hawaiian duo, The
Ukeladies, to release The S.U.V Song, which is available as a free download on Kelly's MySpace from October 11th.
A
timely ode to the sinking Samoan and Tuvaluan women as they resignedly
gurgle insults at Westerners pottering about in their supersize
automobiles, The S.U.V Song is another skewed, witty, sweetly melodic and bleak song from the pen of the man who brought us Drunk On Election Night and the award winning LP "Drowning In The Fountain Of Youth".
The
summer winds will blow Dan Kelly and The Ukeladies around the country
for a string of headline shows and a number of shows supporting Augie March, through October and November, see below for details.
