The last 3 years have been a whirlwind for brother and sister duo, Angus & Julia Stone. Their debut album ‘A Book Like This’ released in 2007 glided easily in to the hearts of Australians. It debuted top 10 on the national ARIA album chart and maintained a spot in the top 100 for over a year. In 2008 it earned Angus and Julia 6 ARIA award nominations and reached platinum sales status.

The duo with their band, have travelled around the world from the cold Scottish Highlands to the warm desert towns of the USA. Have had songs feature on TV ads from Korea to Scandanavia and have appeared on Festivals throughout the world including SXSW in Texas, Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Latitude in London. All this international touring successfully expanded the bands audience, with their MySpace plays now exceeding 5 MILLION !!!

The new single ‘And The Boys’ has been enjoying high rotation on Triple J, is released today and comes with two bonus tracks ‘Change’ and ‘Take You Away’ when purchased through the iTunes store. The track was co-produced by Angus & Julia with Brad Albetta (Martha Wainwright) and is the first taste of new material from their forthcoming sophomore album ‘Down The Way’. The lyrics inspire joy gained from lost love and it takes you from darkness to light with it driving drum beat, beautiful touches of melatron and moog behind the acoustic guitars and dancing piano and bass. The song really highlights the power of the beauty that can be found in even the hardest of times.

Angus and Julia Stone will once again grace our stages when they hit the road next March on their national tour!
