about

"Melbourne’s Single Men’s Drinking Club play pumping pub rock with a touch of '80s
Australiana – The Hives flavoured with Midnight Oil. Appearing on their forthcoming debut
album, The Getaway is a feverish explosion of sound with a gnashing lead vocal and
crooning melodic accents in all the right places." – Beat Magazine

An unnamed man explodes into the Western Victorian wilderness. He’s running with
nihilist fervor from his memory and his guilt. But his conscience is running too, and
gaining ground.

The Single Men’s Drinking Club are not quite what you think.

Beaten into existence at the anvil of live Melbourne, The Single Men’s Drinking Club
sway majestically between spitting, brutal chaos and lush sonic expanse. Violins and voices
breathe softly before screaming like birds of prey, as guitars grind and gnarl their way
underneath. It’s rock, Jim, but not as we know it.

Three years in the making, Last Laugh for the Landscape is the band operating at all of it’s
compass points.

Recorded by Dave McCluney (Bad Seeds, Kim Salmon) and mixed by Casey Rice (Dirty
Three, Tortoise, Aleks and the Ramps), the record is a gothic road trip though the desolation
and despair of one man’s fever dream. Loosely based on the story of Gordon Wood and the
presumed murder of Caroline Byrne, the record tells of life and death, love and sex, guilt and
salvation.

about

The Single Men's Drinking Club Melbourne, Australia

The Single Men's Drinking Club come at you like a bad idea.

Brought together by a story of lost love, violence, death and debauchery the SMDC use these themes as an excuse for their cacophony and relentless rhythms.

The Single Men's Drinking Club is not for the faint of heart. But then, what else can be expected from five alcoholics and far too many watts of amplification? ... more
