It might no work out so cheap for USA folks with the dollar like it is but then again, when I was there I paid $12 for some singles that were imports so maybe it isn’t so bad? Anyway, check it out…

The 3 different designs for our Sandra Sully EP designed by this lovely girl we know named Sarah. The bottom design is the one we went with. We were told we couldn’t use a photo of Sandra on the cover so we asked a friend to draw a picture of her and I still think, to this day, she did a great job. Sandra herself knows about the song, heard it (although it wasn’t really her thing), and approves of it. We’re pretty happy about that cos I actually love this song and we still enjoy playing it live to this day. I tried to remove the song from the set once and the people who come to see us weren’t having a part of it and demanded we play it. So, 11 years on, we still play this song at every show. :)

You can listen / watch the video for it here:

Note: For those who don’t know who Sandra Sully is, she is an Australian news presenter and we felt that all these other celebs get sung about but no one praised Sandra. We knew it was the right thing to do. She rocks!

MUSCLE CAR TO CELEBRATE THE 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR SANDRA SULLY RELEASE.
After jumping the border and relocating to Melbourne, long time rock n roll band, MUSCLE CAR, are returning to their hometown of Adelaide for 1 show only to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of their Sandra Sully EP. The band have just returned from playing in Japan and are happy to be coming home to celebrate the EP that started it all. The Sandra Sully EP released in 2001 was 5 tracks of a heavy fuzztoned mix of glam, punk and rock n roll with the EP’s title track quickly becoming a staple of the band’s set with the CD charting on the Changes One independent charts in the UK, with the irony being that the people of England had no idea who Sandra was.
Celebrating this anniversary, MUSCLE CAR will be joined by an all-star line-up of Melbourne bands including BUNNY MONROE, THE R.I.P. RIDES and THE COUNCIL at The Enigma Bar on Saturday the 19th of November. All the action starts 8:30pm for a measly $10. Bargain!

We were asked to appear on a ZODIAC MINDWARP tribute album. This was our version of Planet Girl. I think we did alright. The compilation album was released by Sleazgrinder records and had a bunch of great versions of the Love Reaction’s kickass music. Great band, great songs.
