Scott Spark Releases Monday Anthem “Two Alarms”

It’s Monday at there’s no beating around the bush: it sucks. It’s the worst. There’s no cure for Mondayitis, but you can at least feel like you’re not alone when you listen to Scott Spark’s brilliant new single “Two Alarms.” The Brisbane singer-songwriter has crafted one of the catchiest melodies and some of the wittiest lyrics about the soul-sucking nature of the corporate world that I’ve ever heard.

It also comes with an awesome filmclip, animated by local cartoonist Oslo Davis, which stars Lenny, the most adorable alarm clock you’re ever likely to see. And there’s a free app too which allows you to turn your iPhone into a Scott Spark alarm clock.

And if that wasn’t enough goodness, Scott Spark will also release his sophomore album Muscle Memory, featuring “Two Alarms,” this Friday, June 13.

Scott Spark, Tash Parker, and The Rescue Ships Say Three’s Company

Scott Spark, Tash Parker, and The Rescue Ships are putting sporting allegiances and state rivalries aside for one big East Coast tour next month.

The Three’s Company shows will take in each act’s home state over three big consecutive nights. Fittingly, the hometown hero will headline their own city, supported by the other singer-songwriters on the bill.

The Rescue Ships is the brand new outfit of Sydney’s Elana Stone and Brian Campeau. You might be familiar with their solo work, but with their forces combined their sound is incredible. They’ve been wowing crowds overseas, so the Three’s Company dates will be a kind of homecoming.

Scott Spark impressed me last year with his quirky single “Fail Like You Mean It” and won over crowds while supporting Washington and Tim Rogers. But there’s more to this Brisbane boy than meets the eye. He’s ambitiously co-writing OMFG, a stage show he calls an anti-musical.

Tash Parker rounds out the bills. She’s a bit of a ring-in, as she originally hails from Kununurra in far northern Western Australia, but she now calls Melbourne home. With the debut album Waking Up under her belt Tash has supported major Aussie artists like Gotye, Missy Higgins, and Clare Bowditch.

If you love music for lyrics, melody, and heart rather than flash, I heartily suggest checking out these shows. Tickets are a bargain costing just $10 on the presales and $12 at the door.

5 May 2011 – The Evelyn Hotel, Melbourne
6 May 2011 – The Globe, Brisbane
7 May 2011 – Spectrum, Sydney

Free Scott Spark Christmas Tune

Scott Spark’s spreading a little festive cheer with his new track “Last Christmas (What Do You Say?)”

Don’t confuse this song with the campy Wham number. It’s a beautiful piano driven tune, the kind of thing perfect for spinning late at night when you’re sipping on eggnog or brandy.

And it wouldn’t be Christmas if you couldn’t get it for free, would it? Click on the link and this lush seasonal song is yours!
