Official Press Release:
Forming in 2006, Brisbane-based pop duo Ellington have achieved in two years what most bands spend a lifetime trying to attain. Having released their debut EP “The Joy We Keep In” to a fantastic local response, the songwriting team that is Jake Bosci and Michael Beatson set about piecing together a collection of tunes worthy of a trip to the US, the end result being the Matt Malpass (Copeland, Lydia) produced “More Like A Movie, Less Like Real Life”. Featuring guest appearances from Matthew Thiessen (Relient K) and Jeff Turner (Say Anything), the six-track effort shows just how far these kids have come.
To celebrate the release of the EP, Ellington is hitting the road throughout November and December for the aptly titled “The Summer Love Tour”. The young duo will be ably backed by their newly assembled touring band, consisting of Stevie West on drums, Lloyd Budd on bass and Anita Goldsworth on piano and backing vocals.
