Description

A dark and twisted tale of a man and his conscience, violins spit and soar over gnashing guitars. Seems the Bad Seeds, the Drones and the Beasts of Bourbon have had a twisted love child. The Australian Gothic writ large.

Notes

"Melbourne’s Single Men’s Drinking Club play pumping pub rock with a touch of '80s
Australiana – The Hives flavoured with Midnight Oil. Appearing on their forthcoming debut
album, The Getaway is a feverish explosion of sound with a gnashing lead vocal and
crooning melodic accents in all the right places." – Beat Magazine

An unnamed man explodes into the Western Victorian wilderness. He’s running with
nihilist fervor from his memory and his guilt. But his conscience is running too, and
gaining ground.

The Single Men’s Drinking Club are not quite what you think.

Beaten into existence at the anvil of live Melbourne, The Single Men’s Drinking Club
sway majestically between spitting, brutal chaos and lush sonic expanse. Violins and voices
breathe softly before screaming like birds of prey, as guitars grind and gnarl their way
underneath. It’s rock, Jim, but not as we know it.

Three years in the making, Last Laugh for the Landscape is the band operating at all of it’s
compass points.

Recorded by Dave McCluney (Bad Seeds, Kim Salmon) and mixed by Casey Rice (Dirty
Three, Tortoise Aleks and the Ramps), the record is a gothic road trip though the desolation
and despair of one man’s fever dream. Loosely based on the story of Gordon Wood and the
presumed murder of Caroline Byrne, the record tells of life and death, love and sex, guilt and
salvation.
