Time for rest! Sort of.....

What an amazing single launch! It's always so fun to be in front of an audience which dances and has fun and appreciates what you are doing! Thank you so much for coming down and making it the night it was. Other bands were fantastic and everyone was happy. Couldn't ask for much more!

Here's a live review from Inpress from the single launch last Friday night

AND Chuma photos HERE

Read the 60 Seconds with La Bastard from Beat Magazine HERE

And The MX and MX Twitter promos below, which are lovely...

All the radio stuff went ace pants as well. People have been super sweet.

AND on a side note as I wore that floral dress in the clip, the promo shots as well as at the album launch I officially can't wear it again for fear of recrimination in Who or Women's Day magazine. 

Hrmm....what a come down after the launch! Last of the 'Take Me Away' limited t-shirts have been sent out today, just getting some mixing done now on the album before we bugger off for a while and  other little bits and pieces...

The single, the album and various t shirts are still available HERE

*******************

We will miss Jimi tremendously. I won't crap on about it, but it will be hard to find another bass player that is equally as awesome as a person and musician.

anyways...........YaaaAAaaaAAaAAY to holidays!!

Eeeeeehhh!!!

If you haven't been under a rock and you 'Like' our Facebook page you can listen to the single. Download card upon entry to the launch, and last Jimi show :o( Press release with a hint of news to come is down below for your reading pleasure.... 

In Feb 2011 the band released their self-titled debut album on prestigious garage rock label, Off the Hip Records. This has been followed by successful shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, sharing the stage with Spain’s garage rock-legends Los Chicos, and local legends Brothers Grim and the Blue Murders and the Toot Toot Toots. Not willing to stand still for long, the band headed back to the studio with Rocket Science’s Paul Maybury in May 2012 to record 13 new tracks for their second album, due for release in December 2012. The band will be taking a 5 month hiatus from late June while various members head overseas, so La Bastard are leaving you with a little gift to tide you over until their triumphant return – a 3 track single featuring the tropical ‘Take Me Away’, ‘Pitch Black’ a manic tale of things that go bump in the night, plus a special sneak peak at the new album with the explosive psychobilly rampage of ‘Stranger in the Night’.
 The band will launch the new single at the John Curtin Bandroom, 29 Lygon St on Friday 22^nd June. Joining them will be two of Melbourne’s hottest bands, the Peep Tempel and the Velocettes. Remember – this will be the band’s LAST show until the end of the year, and their VERY LAST with bass player Jimi. Come and give him a send-off to remember!

We have some interviews etc. lined up, so keep your eyes/ears peeled at RRR/PBS Beat and Inpress and whatever other Melbourne music institutions we manage to harass into paying us attention!
