The Pretty Littles Australian Tour 2013 has been announced, with the four Melbourne music muck-abouts hitting the road in support of their first ever album.

The band write: “After some soul searching, some travelling, some asking friends for money to make a CD-ing, and a bit of recording too, The Pretty Littles have a first ever LP to release! (note: It was mainly the asking our friends for money bit).”

The Pretty Littles debut album, named Mash, (out Friday 15th November) follows what the four-piece describe as a “kinda stressful” 2012; “Not in a sold out arena kinda way… more in a playing 113 gigs worn out kinda way. There were some crackers in there though… Like selling out Ding Dong Lounge and The Tote and supporting The Vasco Era, The Mess Hall, The Cribs, The Fumes and The Datsuns. We know 113 gigs isn’t that much in the grand scheme of things, but it still made us tired, so bugger off.”

Having earned some time off, ‘Da Littlez’ hit the studio with Alex ‘Rudie’ Markwell of The Delta Riggs (“He once wrote a song for Keith Urban, but Kief didn’t like it. Suck eggs Rudie”). to get some tracks down. After four days worth of recording, The Pretty Littles emerged with 11 songs then “everyone slapped hands and drank red cordial. They decided to name their baby Mash because she was a big ol’ mix of scrappy rock and roll, a bit of scrappy punk, some scrappy ballads and some other genres that I can’t think of right now.”

Catch The Pretty Littles birth their new recorded baby the best way they know how, on the road, and catch them on dates around the country from November through to January next year.
