Press Release: BABY ANIMALS “It
means The Great Silence,” Suze DeMarchi clarifies, for those
who don’t speak spaghetti western. “It seemed appropriate. 13 years, in fact, since the last Baby Animals album, and 8 since Suze’s exquisite solo record, Telelove. It’s apt that this highly anticipated return combines the tenderness and maturity of the latter with so many of the classic songs that made Baby Animals THE rock’n’roll success story of the early ‘90s. Early Warning, Rush You, Painless and One Word were the first shots in a rock radio revolution in the year that followed. Here they’re transformed beyond belief. The years have leached unheard variations and subtleties from their bones, a vindication of the kind of song craft that defies fashion. “Liberation have been asking me to do this for a couple of years,” Suze says. “I wasn’t interested ‘cause I had this rock album in my head – as usual – and besides I was busy being mum. Finally I thought if Justin was into it that could be different. So I called the guys to see if they were up for it.” Producer Justin Stanley had recently been impressed by Suze’s new demos. Stitch and U Still Need Me, a co-wrote with INXS’s Andrew Farriss, would become her first new recordings with Dave Leslie (guitar), Eddie Parise (bass) and Frank Celenza (drums) since 1994. “We did it all in Justin’s backyard in LA,” says Suze. “He has a little studio full of quirky instruments he’s collected over the years, odd stuff lying around. It came together pretty easily, I can tell you: no stress, have fun, laid back. When you pull those songs apart, you find all kinds of stuff.” Stuff like the ethereal melodic counterpoints in Early Warning, the southern-rock roots of Rush You, the hypnotic Indian drone in Painless (with Satnam Ramgotra on tablas) and a gorgeous, blues piano lilt in Make It End, with Eric Clapton sideman Doyle Bramhall on slide guitar. From there to Submarine and Satellite – a pair of especially memorable songs from Suze’s Telelove album – the golden thread remains unchanged and unmistakable: a voice with a unique combination of ball-breaking power and sensuous intimacy that never fails to stop you in your tracks. With that rock record in her head still determined to be heard, and Baby Animals tour dates imminent at last, Il Grand Silenzio represents not just an inspirational new work in its own right, but a clear road ahead. “This
is great way to reaffirm what we’ve done and what we have,”
says Suze. “It has been difficult, especially when I did
the solo record, but I’ve always been a rock’n’roll
girl at heart. october 17, 2007 BABY ANIMALS HAVE REFORMED! You've heard
the rumors since 2004... now IT IS CONFIRMED!
Press Release: If only we could get away with one word, one letter, one line… but we can’t. Ladies and Gentlemen, the rumours are true! After a long silence of thirteen years, we are thrilled to confirm The Baby Animals have reformed.
The Baby Animals f@#$ off rock n roll attitude and relentless live performance ethic earned them the respect of the Australian Music industry and the big three at the 1992 ARIA AWARDS: 'Best Debut Album', 'Best Single', and 'Best Album'. They follow up with the critically acclaimed Shaved & Dangerous in 1993 and tour the USA with Robert Plant before returning home to headline their own Australian tour. In 1995 on the verge of their first major US tour, their US-based record company Imago Records folds after losing its distributor, BMG. The band tries unsuccessfully to be released from the Imago label. Soon afterwards in early 1996 the band take a break from touring and recording while Suze focuses on motherhood. THE
PRESENT: Liberation are also going to re-release the bands 2 studio albums Baby Animals & Shaved & Dangerous - both of which will be digitally remastered. A release date will be confirmed soon. And while the album news is pretty exciting, things are only going to get better with the news that a national tour announcement is just weeks away. Let’s just say we’re giving you an Early Warning. |
