Band bio's often make for particularly tedious reading, so we'll try to keep it brief:We are a 5 piece based in Melbourne's outer south-east. Our debut offering is an EP we recorded ourselves called Yours Etc. We like it, and so have quite a few other people, you can read their reviews below. Various radio stations across Australia have been kind enough to give it a decent spin too. We managed to play over 20 shows in '06, which is a fair start for us in between day jobs, rehearsals, and pie etc. We particularly enjoyed our recently concluded east coast tour with Deloris that covered Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra & Sydney, although we hope to improve our dietry habits next time. After a brief break, while we finally got around to doing some laundry and mowing the lawn, we're just getting down to recording our first full length album. We've got a fair few songs lined up already, and many more in the works, which means just one thing: the album should be pretty bitchin'. We're aiming for a mid to late '07 release, but in the meantime the Yours, etc. EP is out now through Inertia. Find it in all good record stores... or buy it online (only $9.95!) HERE. * * * * * * * REVIEWS: "Leading a relatively autonomous existence in Melbournes outer south-east, pitching woo have apparently been working at their glacial, wind-swept brand of electro-skewed guitar pop for a couple of years. The Yours, etc. EP, their first recorded offering, is an impressive way to kick things off. Fusing washed-out tonal qualities and subtle glitches, echoes and chops with classic indie pop melodic sensibilities, pitching woo's sound rests somewhere between legendary experimental quartet Hood and Melbourne indie stalwarts Deloris. Detached, bleak and wintry, yet glowing with a warm, affecting resonance, Yours, etc. is an unexpectedly mature and pretty debut." ~ Dan Rule, Music Australia Guide , June 2006."Yours, etc., the debut EP from Melbournes Pitching Woo, is a stunner. The band effortlessly combine gently crafted arrangements with washes of reverb-drenched guitars and some of the best vocal melodies youre likely to hear within the atmospheric indie pop / rock style ... You will be consumed by the soundscapes the band have to offer perfect for chilling out and allowing yourself to become completely lost in. " ~ Steph Edwardes, Rockus.com , June 2006."Yours, Etc is an EP full of simple and pleasurable music, and that is probably the greatest compliment I could give to a CD. The tracks on the latest release from band Pitching Woo are honest, heartfelt and highly enjoyable. A clever mix of alt-country and electronica, accompanied by crafted songwriting, make for a CD thats at home being played after a hard day at work or on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Worth a special mention is the final track Message from the Chairman, an instrumental piece that is both delicate and robust at the same time, a contradiction in terms, but one anybody would be comfortable with. The best thing about Pitching Woo is that they are from Melbourne, and therefore are another shining example of just how talented Australian artists are." ~ Mike Mutsaers, Mediasearch , June 2006.
