Augie MarchMoo, You Bloody ChoirJive/Zomba (US), Sony BMG (Aus)Eight stars (out of ten)Augie March conjure fourteen little worlds here, fourteen scenes, fourteen sets of characters. Fourteen proper songs. The band’s commitment to an idea is never less than total—every note, word and beat does its work in conveying something worthy. Over the course of this, their third album, the Melbourne grou
So I saw Augie March last night and thought I'd tell you all about it. For those that don't know them, they're a bunch of fellas from Melbourne that have three albums to their name, and are currently touring the third. Moo You Bloody Choir, which recently won the Australian Music Prize.It's a good record, too, deserving of an award, but it's even better live, as the gig, at Sydney's Metro Theat...

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.

I came across this tune today. I've heard it now a few times, and it's really starting to grow on me. There are a few posts on Augie March, but not much music to listen to. So here is a great song by a new band.
