From www.myspace.com/thelaurels: The Laurels are a psychedelic/shoegaze band from Sydney. Upon first taking the stage in June 2006, the Laurels juggernaut has accumulated accolades, guitar pedals and fans in approximately equal proportion. Their resume reads like a poorly punctuated list with no contactable references.. *Winners Sydney University Band Competition 2007 *Titular track on internationally released “Turn On Your Mind” (Psilocybin Sounds) and two tracks featured on “Burn Your Fingers On The Sun” (Off The Hip) compilations. *National airplay for their demos, including JJJ. *Interviewed by international press *Super awesome reviews *Lots of friends on myspace *Once got an email from Parlophone Records (that’s THE BEATLES’ LABEL!) Such a sorry document has nonetheless afforded the Laurels solid employment on the stages of both Sydney and Melbourne from their very inception. The savviest of networking has of course played an important role, (along with nice trousers), and the Laurels have been lucky enough to share the stage with the likes of the Lovetones, Gaslight Radio, Richard In Your Mind, Cloud Control, Belles Will Ring and The Holy Soul. The Laurels have "almost" finished recording their long awaited debut release, and are not putting words into your mouth there with that 'long awaited' business, indeed, they've been waiting too...
