████ ████
████ ôYou got to me/IÆll get to you/How long how long can you hold ████
████ out?ö û How Long ████
████ ████
████ Like Crocodile Dundee, or bands like AC/DC and INXS before them, ████
████ LONGREEF are planning to conquer the USA on their 2013 tour. ████
████ ôWeÆre ready to take our music to the worldö says lead singer and ████
████ songwriter Josh Barker, who originally formed the band as Inakin ████
████ in Australia with LONGREEF guitarist Nick Miller. That group ████
████ played up and down the east coast of Australia and appeared in ████
████ reality TV series ôThe Resortö, in which they performed a tribute ████
████ to famed Aussie animal expert and ôCrocodile Manö Steve Irwin on ████
████ the one year anniversary of his death. They also played for the ████
████ countryÆs troops stationed in the Solomon Islands to quell civil ████
████ unrest there. ôYou donÆt get as tight as we are unless youÆre ████
████ getting out there and performing as much as you can,ö says ████
████ Barker, who was the first of the group to visit America. He spent ████
████ some productive time in Music City û Nashville, where he wrote ████
████ and recorded with 3 Doors DownÆs Chris Henderson, called on ████
████ Miller to join him, and added bassist Jim Wark and drummer ████
████ Tristan Davies to finalize the line-up. ████
████ ████
████ ôWe love the USA, the audiences are insane and thereÆs just so ████
████ much opportunity and so many live venues here,ö adds Josh. ôWe ████
████ feed off the crowdÆs energy, and every show we do gets better and ████
████ better. ItÆs an awesome experience.ö ████
████ ████
████ Interspersed with tour dates which took them back and forth ████
████ between their native Australia to the Gulf Coast, Southern ████
████ States, East Coast and Midwest, LONGREEF went into the studio to ████
████ record their debut EP. The first single, ôLonelyö was released to ████
████ radio and reached #33 on BillboardÆs R&R Indicator chart. ████
████ ████
████ They began to draw interest from labels, with NickelbackÆs Chad ████
████ Kroeger among their high profile fans. They chose to forego the ████
████ offers and remain independent, returning to the studio to record ████
████ their second EP ôDirty Motelö, which shows off an increased ████
████ songwriting prowess and a harder edged sound. The title track was ████
████ released to Active Rock radio and was a huge hit for rock fans ████
████ across the country, reaching #4 in Biloxi and receiving similar ████
████ airplay in cities such as Chicago, Spokane and New Orleans. With ████
████ lines like ôI love the way you wrong every rightö (Dirty Motel) ████
████ and ôSex is her body/That girlÆs in demand (She Likes The ████
████ Ladies), the boys from LONGREEF havenÆt lost touch with their ████
████ cheeky ôShrimp on the barbieö down under roots. ████
████ ████
████ Foregoing the major label system to date to go it on their own, ████
████ Barker is confident the bandÆs instincts will win out in the end. ████
████ ôHaving the creative control has made the band so much closer,ö ████
████ he explains. ôWe donÆt want to just wait around and wait for ████
████ someone to tell us what to do. We want to take the reins and make ████
████ this happen on our own. So far, itÆs been working.ö ████
████ ████
████ ôItÆs tough sometimes being away from family and loved ones, but ████
████ I like to think we have the best job in the world,ö enthuses ████
████ Barker. ôThe day we played our first show we knew we had ████
████ something special. Every show has been an absolute blessing. ████
████ ThatÆs the best way to get your music out there, getting out and ████
████ playing for as many people as you can and showing them a good ████
████ time. We just want to keep moving forward and shooting for the ████
████ stars.ö ████
████ ████
████ LONGREEF are a new force in rock to be reckoned with, and theyÆre ████
████ coming to a town near you soon. ████
