Love Is My Velocity

Yes! It is getting closer! The 6s & 7s debut epic ‘6s & 7s Choose The Sentinel Blooze’ has us all pretty excited. The 6s & 7s have the first single from the album – a brand new track ‘Smilin’ – heading out to the airwaves now, although you can also have a listen on the 6s & 7s myspace for those of you who are too impatient to wait. Plus we have details of the tracklisting and launch to announce and some pretty cover art (see above) to unveil. No, Josh isn’t shooting the birds, he just happens to have a gun in his hand. Honest!

So first things first:

Track listing:

Drunk Liberties
His Eyes
International Roaming Capability
Smilin
Kissing for Science
Holidayz
A Velvet Coma
Empty Cities
(Yr) Fucking Nights
You Will Think of Me
Drunker Liberties

And now for the launch details…

6s & 7s Album Launch
Saturday 3 July
The Rosemount Hotel, North Perth
with support from The Painkillers, Split Seconds and Craig McElhinney

We expect the night to be a choreographed epic, so be there! Pre-sale tickets available at our online shop.

*UPDATE!*

For those who (quite rightly) shun myspace and its horrible interface – you can listen to a new track off the new album right here (and if you like it, you can share it on every possible platform or social networking site you like). It’s one of our favourites from the new album, called Empty Cities.

6s & 7s – Empty Cities by loveismyvelocity

Yes, that’s right, PRIMETIME. Well, actually I am not sure whether between 8am – 10am on Saturday mornings counts technically as primetime, but that is clearly the prime eating-breakfast-in-your-pyjamas-in-front-of-the-tv time.

Ghostdrums’ excellent filmclip for Morning Sun has been chosen as Rage’s Indie Clip of the Week, so it will be shown sometime this Friday night (25 June), plus also sometime after 8am on Saturday morning. Check the Rage website later tonight or tomorrow for exact times, but we can tell you that the show will also feature new filmclips from, erm, U2 and Juliette Lewis. That’s right, we expect Ghostdrums will be playing stadiums and forming a full touring band with his Hollywood chums very soon.

Also in 6s & 7s news, their soon to be released debut album is now feature album on RTRFM in Perth, has had tracks added to high rotation on FBi Radio in Sydney and today had excellent reviews in Xpress Magazine and Sixthousand.

Don’t forget that presale tickets for the 6s & 7s album launch on 3 July at The Rosemount, North Perth are on sale (along with copies of  Ghostdrums EP) in our online shop.

Oh yeah. May is over and we are having a mini-break to rest up after the antics of the past month. Seriously, we have launched a publication, opened a shop, closed a shop, launched a CD and recorded eleven bands in the space of one month. Overachievers, yes we are.

Takeaway Tunes photos and tracks are still easily accessible on the Takeaway Tunes link to the right of the menu bar. Or  www.loveismyvelocity.com/takeawaytunes will take you there too. Relive the memories.  If you don’t know what the hell we are talking about when we say ‘Takeaway Tunes’, then go here and be slightly less confused. Sleeping with the Band pillowcases, copies of RISO and Adem K CDs are all available in our online shop, so if you missed out on any May fun, then why not try and overcome your sense of regret by buying things?

Our next big project is to launch the debut album by the 6s & 7s called ‘6s & 7s Choose The Sentinel Blooze‘. To call this album ‘long-awaited’ doesn’t really do justice to the agonising wait we have all had to endure until we can finally take home some of these songs to listen to in the comfort of our lounge rooms (as opposed to the comfort of the Hydey front-room).

So, yes, that’s right, Josh Fontaine is releasing an album and we can confirm that it does have such hits as International Roaming Capability, Kissing for Science and Drunk Liberties on it. It also has a bunch of new songs which are equally on par with the old favourites, like Empty Cities, and His Eyes. And of course, it features Smilin’, (as popularised by Benjamin Golby) which will be hitting myspace and the airwaves in the next week as the first single. The album is also the best, strangest, most beautiful thing we have listened to for ages and the general consensus is that it sounds like nothing you have ever heard.

It will be released in stores on July 3 and distributed by Fuse Music Group. If you are in Perth, we have a launch party planned for July 3 at The Rosemount, North Perth, with more details soon, so giddy up.
