The Golden Rail is the culmination of a 30-year writing partnership between principal songwriters Ian Freeman and Jeff Baker. The pair met and started performing in Perth in the mid-80's running through a string of bands either together or as side players in The Palisades, The Rainyard, Header, Summer Suns, DM3, The Lazybirds and more recently with The Jangle Band.
A classic pop combination of guitars, bass and drums with some generous harmonies and occasional keyboard flourishes. It's a reading of 60s and 70s pop sounds through an indie prism with a subtle Australian bent. Think The Triffids, Died Pretty, Falling Joys or The Apartments “Songs From Empty Streets” is the band's third album and their first with Cheersquad Records. Come celebrate the album launch at this intimate Sunday afternoon gig, ably supported by friends and fellow songsmiths Blackbirds FC.
