Katie Noonan and the Captains: The 'Page One' EP and national tour



FEBRUARY/MARCH/APRIL 2009

Fresh from recording their incredible new album with International Producer Nick Didia, Katie Noonan and her new band The Captains are very excited to get out on the road behind their epic first single ‘Page One’.

‘Page One’ is a rockin’ song co-written between Katie and her Captain’s guitarist Cameron Deyell and legendary Oz songsmith Don Walker (of Cold Chisel fame) – a song that Katie wrote as a wedding gift to fellow Captain’s keyboardist Stu Hunter and his partner.

Over the last two years Katie and ‘The Captains’ (Cameron Deyell – guitar, Stu Hunter – keys/bass, Declan Kelly – drums) have been slowly building a vessel of exciting new songs.

This is a real return to form for Katie – back to her beloved lush, organic band sound and strong and inspiring personal stores.

Katie has written about half the album on her own and then co-written the other half with a host of Anzac luminaries including Tim Finn, Don Walker, Sia Furler, Josh Pyke, Tom Shapcott and her fellow ‘Captains’ band mates.

Says Katie about the new record: “I haven’t felt this positive about my music since the george days… I feel like I have finally found the right musical partners to make my music with again. I am really inspired and excited about this new record – I can’t wait to share the songs and tour around the country.”

"Noonan's soaring, beautifully phrased high notes, ultra-musical communication of meaning and expressive use of the microphone and digitial technologies were stunning."
Gillian Wills, The Australia – 7 March 2008

“This woman is the whole package. She is not only one of the most versatile singers in the industry, easing her way through rock and jazz and even scaling the heights of opera, but she has the amazing ability to completely rearrange a song yet keep the emotional substance of it.”

New Single 'One Long Week' from Skipping Girl Vinegar + Tour



Announcing new single ‘One Long Week’

Broke, warn out and exhausted, Skipping Girl Vinegar crawled into the studio with their hobos in tow in the week before Christmas 09 to record their new single ‘One Long Week’, the first release from what will be part of their follow-up sophomore album. Working with Melbourne indie producer Nick Huggins (Kid Sam, Seagull, Whitley) and Greg Arnold, the band have ventured into new territories whilst retaining their organic hobo pop aesthetic, uncovering a dark and overwhelming melodic classic.

Mixed in January 2010 in Nashville by American indie legend Brad Jones (Josh Rouse, Bob Evans), who mixed SGV’s debut album, the new single ‘One Long Week’ uncovers the whirlwind of the previous year of endless independent touring and the release of their acclaimed debut album ‘Sift The Noise’.

After returning from Nashville in February 09, SGV hit the road running and found themselves stumbling into a shopping centre overwhelmed by the presence of a giant polyurethane reindeer that hailed the arrival of December, and its associated Christmas paraphernalia. With this came the realisation that an entire year had slipped into the vortex of what had felt like one long week.

‘One Long Week’ Tour

Surfacing from the studio, refreshed from the summer break and a cracking set at the Pyramid Rock Festival, Skipping Girl Vinegar are gearing up to head out on the indie highway on an east coast tour to celebrate the release of their new single ‘One Long Week’. Be sure to gather into the ivy covered woodland set and experience Skipping Girl Vinegar perform new songs from their eagerly anticipated second album, as well as old favourites from Sift The Noise.
