ME are Luke Ferris (voice, guitar, piano), Damian Tapley (lead guitar), Michael Godde (bass) and Spike Rogers (drums). The band wanted a playful album title and one that offered several meanings. It also hints at the band's diverse style making them hard to pin down musically. "We are a little in the odd ones out category" says frontman Luke. "I love big rock bands with killer riffs and grooves, but I also love great vocals, harmonies, orchestral works and bad ass choirs. So we have just thrown loads of different ingredients into the pot because they are the flavours we enjoy." The 12 tracks on the album are the culmination of "five great years in Melbourne, surrounded by a thriving music scene and embracing musical community" says Luke.
The record opens with the twisted nursery crime theatrics of Hoo Ha ("Mirror, mirror, on the wall, a vain bunch aren't we all"), frequent live opener and a track that really does set the tone of this epic, rock opera of an album. New single Vampire!! Vampire!! is a three-minute head rush about the band's hatred of reality television culture and specifically its creators. "Do yourself a favour, turn the television off, read a book or go support local live music", offers Luke. Previous single Rock and Roll Dandy is a ridiculously catchy homage to past musical glories (or 'like Suede gone to Download' according to Q Magazine), steam punk magnum opus Westward Backwards is the band's perfect calling card and Trails in the Sky a slice of magnificent orchestral hugeness that hints at the band's stadium filling ambitions.
The album was recorded in the UK and produced by 'Barny' Barnicott (Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, Temper Trap). The full track listing runs as follows: Hoo Ha; Trails In The Sky; Rock and Roll Dandy; Like A Fox; Westward Backwards; Carousel; Working Life; Under The Sun; Vampire!! Vampire!!; Choral; Your Favourite Colour; Their Song.
ME open the main stage at Australia's Big Day Out Festival in January 2013 and return to the UK in March for a headline tour.
