First Post - Bio, next post the moon!

Little Bones is a band.
Little Bones was one man, but it's now three. It's kind of like in the bible, but less dogmatic. And no-one is anyone's father, nor ghost.
"Ramshackle Eclectic", the first album under the Little Bones moniker, was the work of several years gestation from Wes as a solo artist. 
Very much a bedroom album, recorded in several different home and professional studios (including Sound Solutions in Frankston and Andy Albert's Soul Chicken Studios), it's a dog's banquet of old-fashioned song-writing, intimate recording and explorative recording techniques. 
It's an album of friends, memories, regrets and bitter-sweet melodies. It is available for download at http://littlebones.siamesetwin.net/, or in hard copy for $10.
The full band formed for the 2008 Mofest gig, with Luke Brown jumping behind the kit, and John Lipscombe picking up his trusty bass to bang out some tunes for charity. The old songs worked well with a newly found rhythm, and the new songs to come out of the band harnessed the tension and strength of the Little Bones live three-piece.
With plans for several new EPs during 2009, including the fully written and partially recorded Bone Songs (from which the track "Another Cup of Coffee" was featured on the Triple J Unearthed Featured Music List), the band is looking to gig more extensively, and shake the Little Bones of the Australian music industry.
