About The Hurries
The Hurries feature Swedish band Girl Alliance and Spanish band Sundae in a story full of e-mails, myspace messages, uploaded files and hurries... ABOUT GIRL ALLIANCE A few years ago I was asked by an acquaintance of mine to record a song for a compilation cd. Me and my friend Jonas Petersson wrote a song together and at that time Jonas had a big beard so we decided to call ourselves Girl Alliance. After that Jonas moved in with his girlfriend and I haven't heard from him ever since. I kept the name and now I record songs on my own in my apartment in Lund, Sweden, when I cant sleep. http://www.myspace.com/girlalliance ABOUT SUNDAE Sundae are born sometime during 2005 from the ashes of electronic pop band Shizuka. It isn't until 2008 that the first complete lineup of the band (comprising Davis at vocals, Cris at guitars and programming, Raúl at guitars and Juanlu at bass) starts to seriously write music, recording their first demo on february 2008, while preparing their first proper gig. However, by the end of 2008 the band becomes a duo with Davis singing and Cris playing everything else. They record their second demo on early 2009, receiving reviews in many blogs all over the world. This leads to both being awarded 3rd best demo of the year in Spanish National Public Radio RNE and attracting the attention of digital label BEKO, who release a digital single with two new songs by the band in January 2010. Sundae are at this point preparing new songs for a future split single on Cloudberry Records and possibly a self-released 10" later in 2010, and starting to organise a new line-up for live shows. Their sound could be described as a mixture of shoegaze with Sarah-influenced indiepop, showing their love for bands like Trembling Blue Stars, The Radio Dept, The Cure, My Bloody Valentine, The Field Mice, Brighter, Aberdeen, Slowdive, The Postal Service and New Order. http://www.sundae.es/ + www.myspace.com/sundaeordie SHORT INTERVIEW: 1. Tell us the story about the song. Sundae: - We love to keep the mystery... and the song wasn't finished when we wrote this! 2: Why did you choose to work together, and how did you meet? Sundae: Cris from Sundae was listening to Girl Alliance non-stop when the possibility of being on the comp came, so it was an obvious thing to do. The good thing is Toby from Girl Alliance was actually keen on the idea! 3: Do you have plans to do more music together? Sundae: It would be fun, but please no deadlines next time!
