Horse Lyrics

Horse Lyrics by Hugh Tolhurst (after Dirty Three)

Day Release by Tol - the-Seed-planted-in-Spring-2003 (as a Trio) comprising Dane-Certificate Williams, guitar, Adam Gooderham (Cunning Stunts etc), drums & Hugh Tolhurst, bass & vocals - which sopn Grew-if-Not-flowered into The Certifiables.
This recording has a bit of (Birdland Studios's)Lindsay Gravina's Magic touch about it.... published on a PBS FM compilation: "25 Years to Life: A Celebration of Music & Crime" (which included tracks by other Elwood / St. Kilda lyricists Dirty Three, Paul Kelly & Tim Rogers also Chris Wilson & The Crown of Thorns & many many more acts). "Day Release" got more 2004/2005 airplay than any other band' track on "25 Years to Life...". Tol (with guest Adam Harding) opened the 2-Day Festival Launch of the 2 CD Compilation of Australian bands at (The late great) The Greyhound Tolhurst because, unfortunately it was Hugh Tolhurst's birthday & he was thus unable to give a Fuck about being punctual & sound-checking.
