The National Evening Express will roll into Brunswick East on 28 November to launch their debut single ‘This Ain’t Real’ at Whole Lotta Love in Lygon Street!
A gritty mix of garage band and dirty blues, The National Evening Express will suit those who dig MC5, The Stooges and The Cramps.
The Melbourne based 4-piece features a mix of experienced Australian and New Zealand players whose influences merge and meld, bubbling into a full fever pitch when they perform live.
“This song was written in one afternoon of beer fuelled happiness to encourage you to Let Your Rock Out,” says lead singer and guitarist Sandro.
Here’s an early review for the single:
The National Evening Express – This Ain’t Real
You might recall the story of the Masters’ Apprentices third-greatest song, ‘Undecided’, which they made up on the spot in an early recording session and which much to their surprise (and without their knowledge – until they heard it on the radio) was selected by their record company to be their first single. They heard it in the car driving to a gig and got a surprise.
‘This Ain’t Real’ is ‘Undecided’ in the 21st century. Powerful, primitive, apparently tossed off yet plugged into an ancient theme of desire and demand. …
Textured, epic and propulsive, the song has a lurid vividness few could resist.
Looking forward to more from this exceptionally tight outfit. – Heidi Berg, The Dwarf
