and it was fun. apparently we stayed in the seediest part of town, it wasn't too bad, we only saw 4-5 strip clubs and a handful of junkies.

Hi all -

After months of late nights in the studio recording and mixing, we are happy to tell you that we have finished our new CD "Sunny Letters". This is pretty much an industry showcase type release, and as such we are not making it available through iTunes or in stores or anything like that. However, if you would like to purchase a copy they will be available at shows...or shoot us an email.

Big thanks to Dave and Marshall at Damien Gerard for all their hard work and generousity, Pete at JMC for the late nights mixing with us, and Val at the Sound Basement for being such a cool guy. Also thanks to the ladies at Three Blocks Left design for their super fantastic art skills.

Enjoy the tunes,
Scott/Hailer

Here's a sunny letter for your mailbox.

We've put together 4 noveaux-aural delights, recorded and ready for your ears and you can check them out here if you ain't done so already.  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hailer/88350158068
Yes, Hailer has a 'fans' page. What's the difference between that and the group? dunno, you're asking the wrong lad, but you can listen to music there, so do it.

So we've been laying low, writing, buying records and helping our friends with our other amazing talents.

I've been doing 'sound design', for want of better wank-word, for a show on at Newtown Theatre at the moment.  It's called 'The Return' by Reg Cribbs, directed by Jess Tuckwell, and it's not shit.  In fact it is very very good indeed!  Plus we've dug up some instumental music by Hailer from a session 3 years ago to assist with vibe-control.  Head here for event details and get amongst it - support independent theatre in sydney.  It runs until 4th July (independence day, will the fresh prince save the day again...?)

OH YEAH! We're playing a show on the northern beaches at Mona Vale Hotel on Fri 17th July, supporting Regular John.  If you want to hear some newly written songs, as always, come and watch us play a show, cos that's where the moss don't grow.

Looks like we're doing a set at Kino Kabaret next tuesday night also... head here for details.  With free Coopers & Jameson upon entry it's a boozers wet dream.  http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=85795319231

Busy Busy.

Peace and Fucking and Lots of Hailer Love.

Hi all -

We were lucky enough to be on the cover of ALIVE Sydney's music issue this week, as well as feature in a double page article. Check it out!

We have been really lazy in updating this blog, perhaps that is because we have been doing actual band related things instead of sitting on the computer all day hitting refresh!

We are finishing a 3 track album teaser as we speak, this teaser will contain the new tracks "Never Leave You Alone", "Sunny Letters" and also a slightly re-vamped "Jack". Depending on our bribery bankroll, you should hear it on your radios ASAP. If you do not hear it on your radio then do not stress, just purchase it or ask for or email us or pick one up from a gig.

This will be done by the end of the month.

Aside from that, we have been taking it easy on the gigging front after our tour, you get pretty tired driving around SE Australia all weekend and then working during the week...but I had a great time, and I know everyone else did as well. We will be doing this again soon.

And by the way...hi.

Now I am going to go to the current mood box, close my eyes and scroll down...how's that for "random"?

Hailer
play the Hopetoun Hotel (corner of Foveaux and Bourke St, Surry Hills)
this Thursday the 19th as part of the Rotating Heads tour - March 2009.
Playing tunes from our yet to be titled, released or diagnosed record
with a special guest on keys - great times. Come along - $8 door.

 

Hailer – 10:30 – 11:30

Watt Riot – 9.30 – 10.10
Cockfight Shoot Out
– 8.30 – 9.10

                              ..                              ..                              




Three of Australia’s
most talented upcoming  rock  bands  unite throughout the month of March
to  celebrate all that is  rock’n’roll. The  Rotating Heads  Tour
will feature a rotating  headline act each night to   give punters the
live experience of all  three acts over  eight killer  shows. 

  

With Sydney  rockers,  Hailer, combining Brian  Jonestown Massacre
inspired   southern rock infused psychedelia, Melbourne’s   Cockfight
 Shootout blast heavy, Black Sabbath  drenched rock, and The   Watt
Riot tie it all  together with their high voltage,  rock’n’roll
tracks  that  are stained with the hard edge of post-punk  & the grit
of  dirty  blues. 

  

While Cockfight  Shootout  have been securing support  slots with
acts such as MC5,   Young Heart Attack, The Hellacopters, Killing  Heidi
and  Giants of  Science, their 2008 EP release ‘Breed Until Broken’
  received glowing  reviews and healthy national air play on  youth radio
network  Triple  J.  

  

Hailer-  a three piece out of the Sydney ‘burbs   play music out
of a  vintage vacuum into the stainless field of  today.    With a current
music market saturated with   over-indulgent electronic  instruments, Hailer
revert back  to the  dirty sounds of the ‘60s. Their  boisterous EP,
 ‘Like A Uniform’,  sees their blues infused rock flatteringly   compared
to their  influences; Black Rebel Motorcycle Club,  The Rolling Stones
 and Mess  Hall.
“Hailer buzzed
like Kings of Leon arm-wrestling Black Rebel Motorcycle Club for the
soul of  Bob Dylan…  they won't stay  unearthed for long." - Drum
 Media     
It is no surprise that
‘Gong favourites, The Watt Riot were Unearthed by Triple  J
with the epic and  pertinent track  Rock’n’Roll.   ‘Paint The
City Red’ is The Watt Riot’s second EP   release which saw the foursome
work with  Anthony The  (Wolfmother, Youth Group,  The Vines) and Al Wright
 (Motley  Crue, INXS) to create their explosive  release.  The   Wollongong-born
outfit have supported notable acts such as   Eagles Of Death Metal, Betchadupa
and Mess Hall.  
“Y’know how everyone
uses ‘rock’ to   describe something good these days. Like
‘you rock dude!’  or ‘that  DJ set was totally  rockin’… Well,
unless they sound like this song  by The Watt Riot, they don’t  really
 ‘rock’ at all. 5/5” -Chris  Scadden (Triple  J)

Hi all -

We are hitting the South -East of Australia this March for our first tour of the year...and we are excited. The Rotating Heads tour will feature a rotating headline act each night, and you can be sure for a full on night of rock n roll.

With our good friends the Watt Riot and Cockfight Shoootout, we will be hitting stages in Melbourne, Wollongong, Canberra, Sydney many places in between!

Check out the dates on our site - and we will see you at one of the show.

Hello nobody,

Hailer have just resurfaced from tracking a bunch of new tunes for us all to share. We will be tinkering, tuning and tasting over the holiday period and you will get to hear it early on in the new year. It's good - it's really fucking good.

So, would just like to let y'all know how splendid a time was had t'other evening at the Gaelic Club in Surry Hills.

9 Bands playing tribute to the great man Neil Young and his deep pockets filled with heart-melters and hard-rockers.  If there's one man that could bring a grown man to tears, it's Mr Young.

We were delighted to have some close friends of ours on stage with us that evening.  Thank you for sharing it with us.  See some pics at the link below (courtesy of Alex Vaughan, www.alexvaughan.com.au):
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=63925874&albumId=2535165

Would just like to say a massive thank you to Cam from Break and Entertain for putting the night together and allowing us to make some new friends in the other bands (aided by sing-a-longs to The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down).  I was super impressed by both The Green Mohair Suits and Fait Accompli on the night who performed completely different, but equally compelling, sets.

All for now.  Hope to have something new for you to listen to real soon.

Love,
Gus.Hailer

After a pretty busy few months, where it seems that we have been playing at least twice a week for I don't know how long, we are going to take little break from things here in Sydney and focus on recording a single or two...which may turn into another EP, which will probably turn into an album. Our last show for a while will be at the Sando on the 14th of November (check on our gig guide for confirmation!) with a Melbourne band called 'Damn the Maps'. All we do is play with bands from Melbourne lately...speaking of which, make sure you check out both the 'Son's of Lee Marvin' and the 'Screwtop Detonators'...cause they are both really really good.

You will hopefully be seeing us again in Melbourne either before the year is done, or early next year, as we are more than keen to head down there again. Top city. If all goes to plan we will do a few dates between here and there, and maybe even head North.

We have also received a few sms' from friends etc saying that they have heard our tracks on FBI and JJJ recently...so keep an ear out for Hailer tunes!!!

And if you're not busy tonight come down to the Gaelic Club, we are playing a few songs as part of a Neil Young Tribute night...along with other class Sydney bands like the Mules and Ryan Hazell.

That is all - have a rainy Wednesday.
