Untitled Records are delighted to announce the upcoming Asian album release of hotly tipped Australian favorites, The Jezabels.  The band’s debut full-length album, Prisoner, will be available in markets across South East Asia in June, coinciding with a four-date promotional tour of the region.

From humble beginnings in a Sydney University band competition to winners of the prestigious Australian Music Prize, singer Hayley Mary, keys player Heather Shannon, guitarist Sam Lockwood and drummer Nik Kaloper have fashioned a musical cocktail of power and elegance that has resonated with fans across continents.  Their polarities of grandiose theatrics and gothic intensity melding into a trademark sound that is moody, mysterious and epic, whilst buzzing with the group’s ever-present knack for an irresistible pop hook.

Already Gold certified and #1 on the iTunes chart in Australia, Prisoner is a panoramic study of tension and emancipation, from the echoing stone cathedral of the title track to the sun-blasted morning of the first single, Endless Summer; from the cloistered atmospherics of the instrumental interlude, Austerlitz, to the chiming and climbing pop of Deep Wide Ocean and the quiet reflecting pool of Peace of Mind.

“The lyrics are set out as a letter to a prisoner,” singer Hayley says. “I’m interested in the idea of your personal role in your own oppression.  To a certain extent the album explores the idea of looking at yourself as a prisoner and asking about the reasons for that.  Are they external or are they internal?”

The first international act signed to Untitled Entertainment’s new record label division – Untitled Records, The Jezabels were ideal partners from the start.  “The label is there to work hand in hand with our live business, and only with artists that understand the value and importance of touring,” says Untitled Entertainment’s Business Director Dash Nagata.  “The Jezabels are a band we truly believe in.  One we can grow alongside, who share our vision of wanting to develop Asia as a region for fresh and exciting music.”

A tireless work ethic remains central to The Jezabels.  Their commitment to Asia has already seen them take part in the The People’s Party cross-regional series (along with Bombay Bicycle Club, Metronomy and The Naked & Famous) in January.  Now they’re back for their first set of headlining club dates as part of a promotional album tour that will encompass Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Support on the evening comes from HK’s very own Sun Eskimos who will be playing an acoustic set to warm up the crowd!

On Sunday afternoon, May 20th we will be celebrating the launch of Untitled Records!! On showcase for this event/party (hehe) is our first label release 9 Maps sharing with us LIVE their beautifully crafted debut album ‘High Incline.’

**This is a private event on an invitation only basis**

Since the release of AUGUST BURNS RED’s 2009 breakout album, ‘Constellations’ – which landed the metal juggernauts at #24 on the Billboard 200 – the Lancaster, PA-based genre giants have found themselves in some rather unexpected places. From the cover of Alternative Press to Fox’s “American Dad,” from the sands of Dubai to the Warped Tour, from Japan to Australia to South America, AUGUST BURNS RED crisscrossed the globe time and again on the road to the top of the hard rock heap.

When it came time to record their fourth full-length album, ‘Leveler,’ ABR could have played it safe, could have simply cashed in on their previous success by making Constellations II. Instead, after eight years and a quarter of a million albums sold, AUGUST BURNS RED scrapped the old game plan and followed their sound where it led them. The direction, as it turns out, was both forward and backward. On ‘Leveler’, the band recaptured the hungry, ferocious heaviness of their earlier albums, and at the same time bravely indulged some of the more creative impulses they had previously stifled. The breathtaking result is nothing short of a game-changer.

Support on the night comes from blessthefall hailing from Phoenix, AZ. Having stormed to the forefront of the new evolution of the post-hardcore/metalcore genre with the release of their critically-acclaimed second album ‘Witness’ they debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at #56 and the Independent Chart at #6. In May 2011, the band hit the recording studio to churn out their third full-length album ‘Awakening.’ The album was named by Alternative Press as one of 2011’s Most Anticipated Albums. Trying to win over new fans while appeasing the old may be a difficult task for some bands, but blessthefall accept it eagerly as a challenge that they’ll work toward with their forthcoming tours and releases.

Untitled Entertainment are pleased to announce that seminal indie legends The Wedding Present will perform their classic album ‘Seamonsters’ live in Hong Kong at Grappa’s Cellar on the 19^th April.

With a career spanning twenty seven years, eighteen UK top 40 single hits and countless releases, live dates and plaudits, The Wedding Present have always maintained a fiercely independent spirit and throughout, have charted a pioneering, if often eccentric, course of their very own.

Having enjoyed instant UK success as part of the burgeoning “C86” scene, their 1987 debut LP ‘George Best’ won them further critical acclaim.  Their 1989 follow up ‘Bizarro’ produced by Chris Allison (Coldplay, The Beta Band) featured their first hit single ‘Kennedy’ and opened up the American college radio scene to their sound.  The band cemented their US ties by recording their next album ‘Seamonsters’ (1991) in the States with Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, PJ Harvey) and once more to a rapturous reception this LP fast became a fans favourite. They’ve gone on to work with Albini across the decades.

The band came up with their next intriguing idea in 1992.  By the end of December, The Wedding Present had released twelve singles, one per month, equaled Elvis Presley’s 35 year old record for “most hits in one year”, rekindled everyone’s interest in that ultimate pop format, the 7″ and led the NME to describe the band as “casually revolutionary and underhandedly unique”.  A gang of impressive names, including Ian Broudie from The Lightning Seeds and legendary Rolling Stones producer Jimmy Miller collaborated on the industry-challenging project, ultimately to be compiled on to two separate releases entitled ‘Hit Parade.’

Following two more albums ‘Watusi’ and ‘Saturnalia’, vocalist and main man David Gedge took a break from The Wedding Present to create a new project called Cinerama and released three albums inspired by the love of film music.

Reforming The Wedding Present in 2004, Gedge and Co. set about on the group’s largest ever tours and managed to maintain a healthy release schedule with 2005’s ‘Take Fountain’ and 2008’s ‘El Rey’.  The group’s next LP is due out in 2012.

To mark the 21^st anniversary of ‘Bizarro’ the group toured the album playing it live track-by-track to enthralled audiences throughout Europe, America and Japan.  This year, the group continues this concept by playing the album ‘Seamonsters’ for half of the set, whilst for the other half playing a collection of both old classics spanning their career and new material.  Hong Kong fans both new and old now have the opportunity to catch this legendary group in all their glory at Grappa’s Cellar on the 19^th of April.  Don’t miss out!

Some quotes:

‘The boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Era. You may dispute this, but I’m right and you’re wrong!‘ – John Peel

‘Some of the funniest, cleverest and most relevant indie you’re likely to hear.‘ – NME

‘Gedge has consistently been way ahead of other, more lauded musicians.’ – The Guardian

~~Logo has been confirmed as the support act on the night~~
