Introducing - Tin Can Radio
April 18th 2011 10:40
The boys from Tin Can Radio love to rock and love to party. And they will go all around the country partying and playing the odd gig. Tim from the band gave us a run down on Tin Can Radio.
Whats the latest in the Tin Can Radio camp?
We just got back from Alice Springs. I have to say it was may more
ruckus that I had expected. Turns out the desert folk LOVE the
dubstep and partying til sunrise.
Tell us about the album "Chase The Sun, Hold The Night"?
I was written around that timeless concept of the eternal party.
Always 'chasing the sun', the pursuit of the endless summer, great
surf, beach side mangoes and cocktails with pretty ladies...but...once
the sun has set, grabbing hold of everything the devils of the night
have to offer. The flow of the album really reflects that too. It's
a real journey album, like they use to be. The kind of thing you can
put on, turn all the lights off, curl up with your lover, a glass of
wine and big fat bifta and listen to start to finish while your mind
drifts to outer reaches of the universe and comes home giggling like a
5 year old. You know what I mean?
How did you guys find the whole recording process?
Long, but fantastic. We have been lucky enough to spend the last 12
months (not only on this album, with some earlier recordings as well)
with an amazing producer. Timeshare from Temple Street Studio in
Brisbane is one of those guys that just gets music, particularly ours.
It's been unbelievable having a guy like him as your tour guide
through the often treacherous terrain of album production.
You've just kicked off a pretty lengthy tour to launch the record,
how's the shows going so far?
It's nearly as long as it took to record the album. The shows have
been killer. Sold out shows in Perth, jam packed, rowdy revelers in
Alice Springs...Sydney has a lot to live up to. I have no doubt you
can manage it though.
What's the bands favourite past time to whittle away the hours on the road?
Pranks on Tom (singer). It's just so easy. In Alice, we filled his
bed with branches while he slept, then lifted him, and his mattress,
off the top bunk he was sleeping on and out the door in to the garden.
Man, I don't know how that guy can sleep like that, but you gotta
give credit where it's due.
First track you'd put onto a mixtape?
The first track always has be so good. It's such an important
position. I think Little Dragon - Twice. Ease them in to it a bit.
Wanna know more? Head here to hear some tracks and see the tour dates.
