Melbourne’s fearless duo, The Stiffys, have a little September present for us – new EP, Art Rock One. Since they first donned their sailor costumes, the bodacious boogie-boarding bandits have made us believe in ourselves with their positive messages. They have educated us with their instructional videos. They have drunk our beers when our backs were turned. And they’ve also managed to give us plenty of tunes along the way.
From the band: “We’ve decided to split our Art Rock record over two EPs because, honestly, we’re so far ahead of the curve right now we need to give everybody some time to catch up. Also, recording time is pretty expensive for an independent band … We can’t say too much about Art Rock One until it comes out but we can say that it contains our most bold work yet in the form of a song called ‘Space Blog’, which is basically about writing blogs in space … We’re so excited to go on tour again because when you are a touring rock and roll band people give you free drinks and interstate people think you are really exotic. It’s so great being in a band. Guys, never give up on your dreams.”
