First Date

Hii

We spent all day yesterday recording a new demo titled “first date” with a buddy Joshua Burton in Brisbane. He has a nice little studio in his house across the road from a flower farm haha so we had a really relaxing day and recorded well into the night. Very excited about the direction the band is taking, hope you guys like it too. We MIGHT be able to show you guys the track once it’s all mixed etc

Hey, We were lucky to head off and so some shows with The Mission in Motion and Kenny Visoli (the starting line/person L) this last week and i gotta say that it was the funnest bunch of shows i’ve ever done! We had an amazing time and cant thanks Kenny and the mission dudes for taking us out on some shows! We had epic food fights all along the east coast with their van (we tots one!!!), spent countless hours inside our van and got the chance to meet some kick ass people and have some good hangs as well! Sharing the stage and singing along with Kenny Visoli, the mission in motion + their crew of bodyguards, the dream the chase and courage was sickkkk, a moment I’ll never forget. We cant wait to get back out and play some more shows so please stay posted!

Ellington interview w/ Applicant Apparel

Check out a lil interview we did with Applicant Apparel here:

http://applicantapparel.tumblr.com/post/202695862/ellington-interview

The band Ellington have been biding their time since the release of their EP: More Like The Movies, Less Like Real Life.  The guys have been busy preparing for their opening slot on select dates of the Kenny Vasoli acoustic tour of Australia as well as writing new songs for a release which is talked about more in-depth below.  Jake Bosci, the band’s songwriter/frontman, took the time to answer some questions I had for them. Here is the Q&A with Ellington -

It’s the air in my face that reminds me of why im here and why we keep fighting. You’ll find that your life is demanding, you’ll hate the fact that you cant stand me. I’ll live my life knowing i’m alive - Jake

EXAMS are totally going to be the end of me. Apart from Ellington i have been studying Electrical/Instrumentation for the past 5 years&#8230;It&#8217;s been a very long five years and so many hurdles have been thrown my way on the road to completing it. Obviously because of this commitment, Ellington hasn&#8217;t really been given the chance it could have if i could work on it full time&#8230;.Next week i sit my final exams and if i pass, i will be finished and with the new year will come a lot of really good things for myself and the band. Until then, my weekend is crammed full of study so wish me luck for next week.
We&#8217;re trying really hard to get on some big tours to see the year out, we have been busy writing and towards the end of the year/earl next year we will head into the studio and start recording our debut album. Thank you for your patience!

We recently had a quick trip down to the gold coast, gotta say that it was one of the funnest sets we have ever played to probably the smallest crowd we have ever played to! Dont know what was up but maybe 18+ shows on the gold coast while the football finals are on just aren&#8217;t a good idea lol..whatever, we had fun!

We headed out for Sydney on Friday night after a very long drive down south form my home town to brisbane! The hire place we usually get vans through didn&#8217;t have any available so we got to hire this very sexy ford explorer. After a very early morning, we spent the day at the Sydney 2000 Olympics venue at a festival called Big Exo Day. The organizers were SUPER nice to us and treated us like rockstars when&#8230;well&#8230;we aren&#8217;t so i gotta give them a huge shout out for all the help throughout the day! The crowds were nice to us and we had a handful of awesome fans come out just to see us play which was nice :). Despite a complete malfunction at the end of our second set lol, we had fun and hope to play again next year fo sure!
One thing i totally learnt from this weekend is that i have this huge desire to write songs that live with people for the rest of their lives. I&#8217;ve always had something i me that wanted to write songs that inspired people and kinda became the soundtrack to your life i guess, in the good times and bad. Friendships were restored and some things were really put into perspective for me.
I think it&#8217;s made/or will make our band stronger in the long run and i guess this isnt starting to make sense because you dont know what im talking about hehe.  We have some exciting news for ya&#8217;ll soon and we are working hard on some more shows AND more importantly some brand new music! That&#8217;s all i can really say for now. Photo shoot this weekend too and i cant wait.
