THE MUSIC BLOGGING HIVE MIND

March on

Posted over 3 years ago
Augie March are from Melbourne, Australia and are one of my favourites. While I don't like comparing artists to other artists, I can't help but mention that their vocalist has a very Jeff Buckley-esque sound. The music is quite complex and has baroque touches and some interesting arrangements. Great songwriting though - I'll be seeing them soon in Sydney for the first time, will be interesting to see the live show.I understand that they aren't too well known in the US so I hope some of you moggers in the USA will read this and give them a go, hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised. Check out the website, there's streaming audio and video there."If love is a bolt from the blue then what is a bolt but a glorified screw, And that doesn't hold nothing together." - Augie March, One Crowded Hour.

  2. CBSchick says I like Augie March... unfortunately, iTunes only has one of their albums up, "Strange Bird." I would love to buy more of their stuff if it was available because they have a unique sound and great songs. They're definitely really good - I can see the Buckley comparison too.

  3. bgreen says Hmm, yeah, pity about that, even the Australia iTunes store only has Strange Bird too, and the other CDs are quite expensive at Amazon.
