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.

The boys over at www.scenewave.com recently did some pre/post coverage of our single launch.  I believe our gig was also the very first of their “live tweets” (P.S. follow them on twitter: @scenewave).  We feel pretty special about that.  Find the coverage here: http://www.scenewave.com/tag/montpelier/#2009/10/montpelier-live-the-zoo/.

This was such a great night.  To everyone who was in the crowd, thank you so so much for being a part of the show.  It wouldn’t have been fun without you.  We’ll have to do it all again very very soon.

Montpelier play The Zoo on Thursday 8 October to launch the first single, “The Rafters”, from their forthcoming debut record. We recorded it on a recent trip to Los Angeles with Kevin Augunas, the producer who has worked with Cold War Kids, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and Yves Klein Blue to name a few.

We’d love for you to join us as we launch the single. We’ve been hanging out to let you hear it for way too long.

Joining us on the night are two awesome bands that we absolutely love. The Cardboard Kids are opening the night and Blame Ringo take the stage just before us.

On the night will be limited edition, hand numbered copies of the single, which comes with a track we just recorded called “Fireworks”. There will also be some hand numbered posters which happen to be the very first Montpelier posters ever.

To celebrate we want to give away some of this stuff. We’re giving away the number “1″ copy of the single and number “1″ copies of the two launch posters. The winners will also receive a double pass to the show. To enter email competitions@montpeliermusic.net before 5pm Wednesday 7 October.

You can hear a preview of “The Rafters” and all the songs from the forthcoming record now on our Myspace page.
