 

Two of Sydney's most relished up-and-coming pop-folk bands are set to team up on their co-headline ‘Autumn Tour’.

Featuring some beautiful inspired song-writing amongst intimate settings, Sydney’s Achoo! Bless You and The Mountains will deliver a raft of their newly recorded tracks to audiences across the east coast of Australia. 

The tour sees a major focus on rural areas and an ambitious 14 dates. Together, both bands provide a live experience that is more likened to a candle lit backyard house-party,

 often captivating audiences with their laid back approach to beautifully executed Folk-Pop. ‘The Autumn Tour’ is about sharing moments, with friends new and old, entwined with a soundtrack of nostalgia and bliss.

Loose Jaw

The second single of The Mountains debut EP - Country doors out 1st August 2013 through Slow Country Records.

Sun soaked with genuine country nostalgia The Mountains blur the lines between surf, folk and country to deliver well rounded
warm tracks reminiscent of the golden age of country music with their own Australiana flavour added for good measure.
The Sydney four piece made up of long time friends Peter Avard, Josh Piltz, Aaron (Biggie) Ballentyne and Matty Took exhibit a
laid-back approach to song-writing taking in inspiration from beach towns and rolling hills. Lead singer, Pete has the ability to take you to a coastal town and back again all within a nicely arranged pop song.
The last Twelve months have seen the band support local and international acts such as Justin Townes Earle, The Rubens, Delta Riggs and Ruby Boots. The boys then hit the studio with producer WILLSON in the summer of 2012/13 to record their "Country Doors EP" out later this year which features lead single "LOOSE JAW", a finger picking, foot stomping hoe-down of a track and the first to showcase Matty Took's Banjo and harmonies.

In May 2013 The Mountains are set to hit the road with good friends and fellow Sydney-siders Achoo! Bless You on an ambitious 14 date tour which sees the band play along side The Starry Field (ex-middle east), Good Oak (Busby Marou) and more.
