[UPDATE]: Coda Agency Announces Methyl Ethel Signing At BIGSOUND Panel

Always amazing things coming out of BIGSOUND

In one of the last panels of BIGSOUND 2015, The Music's very own Leigh Treweek facilitated the 20 Questions panel with the most illustrious of music industry figures here in Fortitude Valley this week.

As expected from a conference where the entire music industry congregates, a few exciting signings eventuated this week — one of which was announced via the 20 Questions panel today in the form of Perth up-and-comers Methyl Ethel, who will be working with London's Coda Agency

Announced by Paul Buck, the label is already home to hometown heroes like King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Fraser A Gorman, among The Vaccines, Everything Everything and more.

Reviewing them on our first night at BIGSOUND Live, we thought "their refined grooves evoking a thoughtfulness and dedication to their craft that far exceeds their youthful years."

Check out the Periscope we did with Chris and Thom recently here.

[UPDATE 15/09/15] The band's management have announced that post-BIGSOUND the band have not just signed to Coda Agency but also to booking agents The Windish Agency in USA and Andy Gumley of Village Sounds! The lads will also be heading to New York to play the CMJ Music Marathon this October. Bravo.
