Description:
Fresh from dates in the US and Europe, including appearances at SXSW in Austin, Texas, Australian garage power pop legends THE STEMS will return home for a run of exclusive shows.
Two decades after mysteriously disbanding while riding high on the success of their one and only classic LP, 1987’s At First Sight, Violets are Blue, Australian garage rock legends THE STEMS released their highly anticipated second album HEADS UP in October 2007.
Containing 10 new, spankin’ original garage rock gems, Heads Up was recorded in Perth, Western Australia in the earlier part of 2007 at the analogue and vintage recording compound KingDom Studios and later mixed at Ultrasuede in Cincinnati by producer John Curley (White Stripes, Afghan Wigs, Greenhornes, & Ronnie Spector).
In March 2003 THE STEMS reunited for a national tour which would see an amazing return to the local
and international music scene. After the re-release of their classic At First Sight, Violets are Blue,
originally released in 1987, and the release of the Mushroom Soup Anthology and Terminal Cool
retrospective in the US in 2006, THE STEMS found themselves playing to packed houses across the
country, touring Europe and playing the prestigious “Little Stevens Underground Garage Festival” in
New York.
