In
January 2010, a band was born: full of energy, bursting with love and spilling
over with songs to sing and stories to tell. This band is Charlie Mayfair.
The
first part of this year has seen the band racing around their hometown writing
songs, making friends, and letting people experience their unique style of folk-fired
pop. They hollered their gigs from the rooftops and Brisbane heeded their call.
And
so their three-part-harmonised hollering led them to play at many lovely venues
like The Powerhouse, The Troubadour, The Zoo and The Sound Lounge, sharing the
stage with the talented likes of Montpelier, Tin Can Radio, Skipping Girl Vinegar,
Loren and Iceland's Svavar Knutur, amongst others.
And now with hearts on
their sleeves, the quintet have made an offering that they can share with the
world - recorded in Brisbane's 180 studio with producer Matt Whitehouse the result
is their debut EP 'Watch My Hands'.
Their first single - 'Run' - released
into the wild in February, has been gaining some fine feedback from listeners,
especially after being featured on triple j Unearthed, where presenter Zan Rowe
called it "a really sweet folk-pop song; lovely harmonies going on."
'Watch
My Hands' is available now.
