Amathyst on iTunes

amathyst-itunes.jpg I was catching up on all my friends activities on myspaz this morning and found that one of the local bands who I’ve photographed many many times, and who’s album cover I shot for them back when I was just getting started, is now selling their music on iTunes.

Here’s their About Me - “Amathyst are an all girl gothic-rock band from Newcastle Australia, who have been together since 2002.

The girls have great on stage energy and chemistry. The music rocks out hard, their stage presence is impressive and their performance is enhanced by the different styles of their 2 vocalists. While extremely different they compliment each other and bring to the band a very unique sound that is unmistakably Amathyst.

In their time together Amathyst have already played along side big bands such as Karnivool, Airbourne, The Sleepy Jackson, Spazzys, Testeagles, Japunga, Behind Crimson Eyes, Cog, 28Days, The Cops and Bodyjar.

They have also worked with legendary producer Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Silverchair, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) on a couple of occasions and have been inspired by his ideas and knowledge of the industry. Watch this band as they could quite possibly be the next big thing. “

Anyway, if you like your music heavy you should give them a listen and hey, maybe even buy their ep on iTunes as it’s only $6.76 anyway. Support indie music!

And if you’re anywhere near Newcastle, Australia you can see the girls live this Thursday night, 15th of May, at The Cambridge Hotel. If I don’t get caught out doing something else I’ll be there, and maybe even record a song or two from their set so you can have a listen.
