The Upbeats on tour
Friday, 2nd November 2007 12:00PM
press release:
In 2007, The Upbeats are taking a new step in their journey to the top of global dance music with the release of their sophomore album Nobody's Out There, and is the first release in New Zealand on The Upbeat's new label Non Vogue.
The album Nobody's Out There is a story-lined expedition penned by the DJs-turned-scribes. Combined with the album's 15 tracks is a short story that weaves a fantasy tale about one man's personal journey, sharing the pages of an elaborate booklet with stunning artworks commissioned especially by The Upbeats. Their electric performances have seen The Upbeats tour Europe four times, the US thrice, another stop in Japan and numerous trips around New Zealand and Australia.
The Upbeats have remained firmly in control of the album's production, with one track 'The Stars' featuring a collaboration with fellow-Wellingtonian Trei. Australian vocalist Georgie Fisher makes an impressive debut, singing on Thinking Cap, and MC Ryme Tyme (Ed Rush and Optical) appears on Tonka.
