Halfway Channel Classic Sounds with “Dulcify”

Brisbane rock act Halfway have me reminiscing about the golden days of Aussie music with their new single “Dulcify.”

The song’s brand new but it feels like it could have come from decades ago thanks to its simple, catchy melody, and its incredible story expressed so eloquently through its lyrics. Don’t you just love a song like this that takes you on a journey and really says something? “Dulcify” takes its name from the champion racehorse who was euthanized after being injured in the 1979 Melbourne Cup. The story of the horse helps set up a song that also deals with life’s highs and lows.

Dulcify is the latest to come from Halfway’s acclaimed album Any Old Love. To celebrate its release, Halfway will play the following shows in the East Coast capitals this month.

7 June 2014 – The Zoo, Brisbane
14 June 2014 – Lazy Bones, Sydney
20 June 2014 – Wesley Anne, Melbourne

Halfway Shows Gen Y How It’s Done

There’s something just so comforting about listening to a band like Halfway. These Brisbane music veterans know their strengths and work together so well. It all seems so easy on “Dropout,” the lead single from their fourth LP Any Old Love, which hits stores today.

The album is a collection of songs based around the story of a young couple struggling to make things work in Barcaldine, Central Queensland. And it’s not just getting an iTunes and CD release; you’ll also find it on vinyl. Now that’s the kind of old school approach that I can appreciate. If you do too, make sure you see Halfway launching Any Old Love at the following shows.

8 February 2014 – The Old Museum, Brisbane
28 February 2014 – The Yarra Hotel, Melbourne
1 March 2014 – Apollo Bay Music Festival, Apollo Bay
23 March 2014 – The Powerhouse, Brisbane
20 April 2014 – Boogie, Tallarook
