Laura: Australian post-rock group:
"Their massive wall of sound paralyses the room with awe…They’re like a hit of LSD – you can’t stop it or control it, you just flow with it until it ends abruptly, leaving you naked and disoriented.”
Brag Magazine
For anyone who ever thought that making good music was a lost art, Laura compels you to think again.
Officially, the 5-piece alternative outfit from Melbourne formed in 2001, but it wasn’t until a few years later that the band's story really began. Following the release of its debut EP ‘Photographs…’ in 2002, Laura experimented with a number of member changes and, consequently, sounds. By 2003, the band included the current members: Andrew Chalmers (guitars / vocals), Nathan Biggin (piano / synthesizers / guitars), Ben Yardley (guitars), Andrew Yardley (bass), and Carolyn Gannell (cello). The time spent perfecting the mix was clearly worth the toil, because what followed is one of the most impressive and well received bodies of work produced by an Australian underground act in recent years.
In 2004, Laura released its debut album, 'Mapping Your Dreams', produced by Melbourne-based Japanese engineer and recording artist Naomune Anzai. The title track quickly gained the attention of radio, receiving high-rotation airplay from independent stations around the country including FBi Radio and 2SER in Sydney, and 3RRR and 3PBS in Melbourne. Critical success soon followed. Of the album, Rave Magazine said, "Mapping Your Dreams drips in ethereal, other worldly wall of soundness.” Beat Magazine named the track 'We Should Keep This Secret' its Single of the Week and later Indie Single of the Year for 2004. During this time, Laura began to gain significant momentum in the live arena as well, thanks to intense shows that featured the band’s signature wall of sound, and its dramatic and at times chaotic dynamics.
Having created a more than healthy groundswell, Laura spent an intense six months writing and recording its second album, ‘Radio Swan Is Down’. Upon the albums’ release in 2006, the band embarked on a national tour which not only proved to intensify their fan base, but also gained the attention of international ears including US prog-metal group ISIS, for whom Laura would go on to support on their 2007 Australian tour. That same year, the band released a Japanese edition of ‘Radio Swan Is Down’, later promoting the album with a tour of Japan that included shows in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima.
With their international profile clearly on the rise, and a solid international fan base now well established, Laura released their second EP 'Yes Maybe No' in 2008 on US label Elevation Recordings. Further exposure in the US followed in 2009 with MTV licensing several of the band's songs for various TV series.
This March, Laura releases the limited edition double a-side 7 inch, ‘This Grey Earth’ | Mark The Day’. With only 500 copies produced, The 7 inch is the first taste of what’s to come from the band's long awaited third album, and is already gaining significant attention with ‘Mark The Day’ being named Single Of The Week by both Beat Magazine and InPress in January 2011. "…its enough to darken the sun at midday." (InPress Magazine)
Dark, moody and complicated, this latest release by Laura is sure to leave a mark on all who hear it.

Königin Der Nacht
Laura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bist die Königin der Nacht
Du glaubst Du hast es weit gebracht
Doch Du hast Dich nur verkauft
lässt den Dingen ihren Lauf
und auf einmal wird Dir klar
ist nicht alles wunderbar
Du bist die Königin der Nacht
fühlst Dich schmutzig wie noch nie
hast auf einmal weiche Knie
Fühlst Dich ausgebrannt und leer
nein zu sagen fällt Dir schwer
Rap 1
Geld das ist alles was Dir gefällt
warum warum warst Du nur so dumm
Plötzlich bist Du aufgewacht
Doch die Taten sind vollbracht
Dein Verderbnis hat Dich angelacht
denn es war was man kommen sah ganz klar
Der Sturz in Dein Unglück kein Weg zurück
Hast mich gehaßt weil ich nicht so war wie sie
wie die Deine Freunde Freunde waren sie nie
Gut drauf auf den Straßen stes unterwegs mit der Prominez
und wenns sein musste ich wußteDu würdest Dich verkaufen ich wär weggelaufenAber Du läßt es einfach zu Du warst ziemlich heiß
und um jeden Preis
wolltest Du in diese Welt
und das alles wegen Ruhm und Geld
Rap 2
Zieh Dich aus Du kommst groß raus
aus Dir machen wir nen Stra das warein Versprechen man wird es brechen
Dich auslachen und Du lässt es mit Dir machen
Schau Dich an wie man sich verändern kann
Geld hat die Macht und das hätt ich nie gedacht

The lyrics to Laura's song "Königin Der Nacht" depict the story of a woman who has sold herself to the glitz and glamour of the night, believing that she has achieved great success. However, as time passes, she starts to realize that her life is not as wonderful as she thought it would be. She wakes up feeling dirty, empty, and unable to say no to anything. The song asks her to take a step back and question her choices and motivations for being in the world of night and fame, warning her of the repercussions if she continues on this path.
The song shifts gears in the rap verses, which offer a scathing critique of the culture of fame, money, and selling oneself for success. The singer is seen as a victim of this culture, pushed to do things she would never otherwise have done. The lyrics highlight the harsh reality that many individuals face when they want to be in the limelight; they are forced to compromise their integrity, morals and principles. The song warns that taking such a path can lead to a fall from grace, reminding the singer that there are other paths to success that don't involve losing oneself.
In conclusion, "Königin Der Nacht" is a powerful song about the temptations and consequences of a life in the world of night, fame, and money. It is a call for reflection, introspection, and change. The song invites the listener to think deeply about their life choices and asks them to consider alternative ways to achieve success.
