ARC Does the Beatles for Abbey Road Live

It’s hard to believe 50 years have passed since the release of Abbey Road. Arguably The Beatles’ best, it still sounds fresh as a daisy thanks to choice cuts like “Come Together,” “Something,” and “She Came In Through the Bathroom Window.” Aussie supergroup ARC will pay tribute to that iconic album at upcoming Abbey Road Live shows.

ARC is Kram (Spiderbait), Mark Wilson (Jet), Davey Lane (You Am I), and Darren Middleton (Powderfinger). If that wasn’t enough reason to get excited, the shows will also feature special guests Ash Naylor (Paul Kelly, Even and Rockwiz), Linda Bull (The Black Sorrows, Vika and Linda Bull), Brett Wolfenden (The Pictures, James Keays) and James Keys (Eagle and the Worm, Bob Evans).

Tickets are selling fast, so make sure you get yours to see some of our finest talents interpreting some of the Beatles’ best.

Davey Lane Disses Christmas

I know that not everyone loves Christmas as much as me. Some folks out there are just gritting their teeth trying to wait it all out. So this song is for them. The bah-humbuggers as my mum likes to call them. Davey Lane’s spoken for you all with his new single “Wake Me Up When Christmas Ends.” The song might be a bit grinchy, but Davey’s showing he’s got some Christmas spirit by giving it away!

You Am I’s Davey Lane Plays Free Sydney Shows

What’s the only thing better than great gigs? Great free gigs of course! Davey Lane will treat Sydneysiders to just that next week when he brings his Four Night One-Man Racket to the New South Wales’ capital.

The shows from the You Am I founding member celebrate the June release of “You’re the Cops, I’m the Crime”. We enjoyed the track when it was previewed online in February, so it’s great to see it’ll reach a wider audience soon. Music lovers can look forward to it and other tracks from Davey’s forthcoming solo album The Good Borne of Bad Tymes at these shows.

Now unfortunately, these gigs will see you venturing out on school nights, in this wintery weather no less. But Davey’s charisma, and the lure of free entertainment, should make it worth your while.

Davey Lane Channels the 60s with First Solo Single

You Am I’s Davey Lane wears his classic rock influences on his sleeve with his debut solo single “You’re The Cops. I’m the Crime.”

The song’s distinctive guitar driven rhythm and psychedelic undertones could have come straight from the 1960s. Its retro feel makes it instantly accessible. I wonder whether we’ll find more vintage pop-rock gems on Davey’s forthcoming debut solo endeavour The Good Borne of Bad Tymes.

There’s no release date for the album yet, but if this song’s any indication it’ll be worth listening out for.
