is this the end for montpelier?


30 minutes ago, i received an email telling me that brisbane’s montpelier has decided to call it a day – well, they're taking an indefinite hiatus. to celebrate their time together as a band, their second ep, ‘feed the city’ will be released in early 2012.

montpelier would love more than anything for everyone [existing and new fans] to share one more night of music with them and to celebrate what you've helped them achieve as a band. to thank their fans for coming to their shows, singing their songs, buying their records and enabling to make music that we all love, the boys will play a special farewell gig on 14th janurary 2012, at the zoo. they will be joined by dear friends charlie mayfair.


‘feed the city’ is a project that started way back in late 2009 when the band met aria nominated producer, member of the church and hall of fame member tim powles [aka timebandit]. this is a collaboration that has so far produced the amazing ‘china shop’ single. i can’t wait to hear the new stuff recorded.
tickets for the show are now on sale from oztix. as part of the ticket price you can choose to pre-order a copy of ‘feed the city’ which will be released digitally in january. included will be a booklet of all the artwork from the project as well as complete lyrics. all the artwork is by artist jefferton james who montpelier has collaborated with for the entire project.

goodbye, montpelier. it has been a pleasure. sadly, i will be back in uganda by the time the show comes round. but you will surely be sorely missed. and best of luck with hey geronimo! i hear 'why don't we do something' has gone viral.
