Montpelier Launch Debut EP

This is something we’ve been excited about for a long time.  On Friday March 5, 2010, we’ll be releasing our debut record.

In 2009 we traveled to Los Angeles to record with producer Kevin Augunas (Cold War Kids, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes).  This self-titled EP is what we came back with.

We’re launching the record with a show at The Zoo in our hometown, Brisbane.  Joining us on the night are Timothy Carroll and Tin Can Radio.

You can purchase pre-sale tickets here:

We’ll be announcing a run of tour dates in support of the release soon.

This will be a big one for us, the biggest so far in fact.  We’d love your company at the show.

Single Launch Review on FasterLouder

Our single launch last month was reviewed on FasterLouder.com.au.  Here’s a bit of what they had to say about the night:

Turn the tables once again, and main act Montpelier offer yet more points of difference on the musical smorgasbord of the evening. Fresh from a recording stint in Hollyweird, the Brisbane four-piece are a tight and polished pop-rock outfit seemingly from another time and place. This was no polyester-shirt, horn-rimmed glasses, shoe-gazing affair, but unadulterated melodic soaring, backed by some superb uplifting harmonising. Guitarist Dave Butler kicked off the vocal duties, but spent most of the evening wonderfully harmonising below bassist Greg Chiapello’s heart-on-the-sleeve singing style. Drummer John Pickering’s staccato rhythms provided a necessary counter-point early on and significantly lightened the mood in some of the darker moments. Nearing the set’s end, new singles The Rafters and Fireworks were treated to a slight re-working with Larsen joining them onstage for a little extra guitar and vocal kick. With keyboardist Andrew Stone strapping on a piano accordion, the two offerings were clear indications of this band’s ambitions to make memorable, fit-for-the-moment epic rock. The apt rise and fall of Last Boat Out To See You, with its nautical theme and interesting back-story, perfectly illustrated the intelligence and warmth Montpelier bring to their sound and whetted the appetite for more things to come.

Thanks for the review BrisJamin.  Check out the full article online here:
