The shy genius that is Ron Sexsmith will release his new album Long Player Late
Bloomer in Australia on March 4.
•
Produced by Bob Rock (Metallica, Bon Jovi and Michael Bublé), Long Player Late
Bloomer was recorded in Los Angeles, Toronto and Vancouver. The album features a
star-studded cast of musicians, including guitarist Rusty Anderson (Paul McCartney),
bassist Paul Bushnell (Elton John, No Doubt), keyboard player Jamie Edwards (Aimee
Mann) and drummer Josh Freese (Devo, Nine Inch Nails). Long Player Late Bloomer is
Ron’s eleventh studio album. It features 13 new Sexsmith penned songs.

Ron Sexsmith comes from the land that gave the world Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell,
Gordon Lightfoot and Rufus Wainwright. He’s the definition of a ‘songwriters’ songwriter’
– Elton John once said that Ron has the voice of an angel, Chris Martin duetted with
him on “Gold In Them Hills”, Nick Hornby named a book after one of his songs, Bruce
Springsteen used his version of the American classic “Comrade Fill No Glass For Me”
as warm-up music on tour, Elvis Costello loves his work and has toured with him on
several occasions, Bob Dylan has played his music on his celebrated Radio Hour show.
Many stars have covered his songs including Rod Stewart, Tom Jones, Elvis Costello
and most recently Michael Bublé.

Daydreams and Nightmares, the 2nd album from young Swedish popsters Those
Dancing Days, was recorded in Stockholm over the spring, summer and early fall of
2010 with Patrik Berger, the fast rising young producer known for his recent work
with Robyn. Filled with soaring choruses led by singer Linnea Jönsson’s sweetly sultry
vocals, the tracks range from the blissful pure pop of “I’ll Be Yours” to the defiant, hard
charging anthem “Fuckarias,” and from the New Wave-tinged, starry-eyed “Dream
About Me” to the wistful, reluctant build of “When We Fade Away.” The lushly vibrant
“Can’t Find Entrance” was co-written by Max Martin (Kelis, The Veronicas, Katy Perry),
who approached the band about working together after hearing their debut

ALTERNATIVE/v2
Rising out of Helsinki’s local electro-pop-punk scene in 2007, sisters Emma and Mia
Kemppainen’s musical vehicle LCMDF (Le Corps Mince de Francoise) was quickly
picked up by bloggers and music fans across the globe. Their incredibly vibrant,
leftfield pop gained them countless fans, earning them the top spot on the Hype
Machine, out-ranking even Kanye West. ‘Gandhi’ re-imagines Sean Ryder’s skewed
pop vision, but sung by Nordic sirens who cut their teeth listening to everyone from
the Beastie Boys to Gaga whilst getting lost in Ghost World. It’s as immediate and
accessible as it is dazzlingly unique. In keeping with their Dance music and Pop
heritage, Heavenly say of their newest signing ‘the band hold true the qualities of
the bands we love: conviction, tunes & a love of POP’

ALTERNATIVE/v2
In 21st century terms, no one really sounds like TREEFIGHT FOR SUNLIGHT. Just one
spin of debut single “What Became of You and I” will confirm their swooning, rollercoasting, deliriously jubilant sunshine pop that harks back to more innocent times.
Now here comes their self-titled debut album which bottles their epic sunshine into
ten pop symphonies in a compact 35 minutes - as God surely intended albums to
last – and shows Bella Union are embracing the new year with the same eclectic
enthusiasm as ever.

Scale the Summit have seemingly snuck in the back door. While fans of heavy music stockpile a list of those highly anticipated,
eagerly awaited releases of 2011, these Texas metal upstarts have dropped an album worthy of similar praise and after an initial
listen arguably greater acclaim.

Scale the Summit’s honest, idealistic and untampered approach to music means the eventual result maintains a sense of purity
and an equal amount of sincerity.

The Shangri-Las’ tough girl demeanour was the perfect counterpoint to their bittersweet songs of loss, longing and teenage
angst. Formed in 1963 in Queens, New York the group comprised two sets of sisters; Mary and Betty Weiss and twins Marguerite
(Marge) and Mary Ann Ganser.
This deluxe two disc digibook set draws together all of the Shangri-Las’ Red Bird recordings including in-concert material,
stereo and alternate versions, radio spots plus Shadow Morton’s deadpan demo of ‘Dressed In Black’. With in-depth liners, this
memorabilia-laden set offers all the hits and collector’s gems in one must-have package.
Includes ‘REMEMBER (WALKING IN THE SAND)’ and ‘LEADER OF THE PACK’, plus lesser-heard stereo cuts, alternate takes and live tracks.

Founded in 1964 by songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Red Bird Records may only have been operational for three
