░ To capitalise on winning the band competition, The Simpletons ░
░ decided to tour in early 1994 and put out their debut EP. 6 tracks ░
░ were recorded for Smother in Lismore, January 1994. Darren Hanlon ░
░ joined as guest guitarist for the recording and ended up staying for ░
░ years to come. His catchy jangly guitar work would become a familiar ░
░ trademark for the band. ░
░ ░
░ The Simpletons toured all around the country in a rented van and ░
░ then manager Amanda. They impressed crowds instantly with their ░
░ catchy acoustic pop songs. Smother sold extremely well at shows and ░
░ became an instant classic. Every track on the CD remained a hit at ░
░ live shows to come, even '2480' a song about living in Lismore found ░
░ life in different towns. The first 1,000 copies of Smother quickly ░
░ sold out within 6 months and band refused to repress it. Smother was ░
░ reborn about 2 years later when The Simpletons re-released it with ░
░ new mastering and artwork changes. æBuzz AldrinÆ (about the second ░
░ man on the moon) won Song of the Year at the North Coast Music ░
░ Awards. ░
░ ░
░ "The Simpletons. Now there's a great name for a band. Come to think ░
░ of it, there's a great name for several thousand bands. The one in ░
░ question is actually relatively cerebral. the clarity is ░
░ crystalline, the sound is semi-acoustic, the words are often funny ░
░ and the style is eccentrically restless. There are lots of sharp ░
░ lines." - Rolling Stone Magazine ░
░ ░
░ Australian music kicks arse. Always has, always will. We're just glad ░
▒ that you're all on board for the ride. We here at OZM will continue ░
░ to shove Australian music right in your face proving that it's at ░
░ equal to and usually better than any other international act. ░
