Youth Group Land American Record Deal

Sydney band Youth Group is headed for the big time after inking a record deal in the USA.

The local lads have signed up with World’s Fair Label Group, which is home to Jarvis Cocker, Devandra Barnhart, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, and many more.

The band’s critically acclaimed album The Night Is Ours will be released in the United States early next year. After completing the Big Day Out tour, the indie outfit will play Austin’s South by Southwest festival and some showcase gigs in New York to support its release.

Ivy League’s Big Birthday Bashes

Last weekend I reported that Sydney indie label Ivy League is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a huge compilation CD. Some massive birthday concerts were rumoured, but I can now confirm the speculations are true.

The Metro will host two Ivy League birthday gigs in November. The ever reclusive rockers The Vines will make a rare performance to headline the show on November 2. Youth Group, The Silents, The Monarchs, and Hoolahan will also play that night.

The party will continue on November 3, when Josh Pyke, Red Riders, 78 Saab, The City Lights and Peabody take to the stage.

So get your tickets through The Metro and join in the celebrations!
