The Bill Parton Trio Australian Tour 2013 has been announced as the South Australian piano pop-rock band prep the release of their self-titled debut EP on Friday 2nd August 2013.
The Bill Parton Trio EP follows the successful release of singles ‘Going Away’ and ‘Falling For You Again’ both are featured on the new release. Bill Parton Trio are William Parton (Vocals & Piano), Jeremy Martin (Bass) and Andrew Partington (Drums) and their sound is a diverse mix of influences.
Imagine the simplicity and catchiness of The Beatles, combined with Coldplay-like chords and melodies, the impressionism of Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, along with a dash of the relaxed chilled-out mood and atmosphere that Zero 7 are notorious for being able to create.
Following in the footsteps of many other great established bands and artists, the trio started off by paying their dues performing on the local circuit in order to earn a crust. They boast a current performance tally of over 1000 shows, appearing at over 250 different venues!
Frontman William Parton explains: “The EP is the product of a heap of time, money, thought and effort. It represents common themes, simple chord progressions, catchy lyrics and tasteful melodies. We’re very proud of it and can’t wait to share it with everyone!”
The EP was recorded at Chapel Lane Studios (Adelaide) with the help of Producer Darren Mullan (The Angels, The Beards, John Swan, Russell Morris), Recording Engineer Adam Rhodes (Angus & Julia Stone, The Cat Empire, Paul Kelly, Missy Higgins), Assistant Engineer Gabriel Agostino (Lowrider, Sundance Kids, Hilltop Hoods) and was mastered at Disk-Edits Pty Ltd (Adelaide) by Neville Clark (Hilltop Hoods, Peter Combe, Levitators, Funkoars). Overseeing the A&R side of things was Matt O’Connor (Beautiful Girls, The Whitlams, Thirsty Merc).
To promote the EP release, Bill Parton Trio hitting the road for a national tour with Melbourne band Artist Proof and Sydney soloist Nathan Leigh Jones in August – September 2013.
