where can i get this from?

thanks pex and to everyone else who's been ordering!

paul; definitely bachelor of the year.

brilliant

they played a bunch of melbourne shows last year. but i don't know if they'll be touring before the new record, maybe get in touch with them!

3 of them are fathers and they have some pretty hectic jobs, one of the lads is a lawyer / lecturer. i think they're pretty time poor.

thanks so much for ordering melons :)

Available on vinyl for the first time and shipping immediately, first pressing limited to 264 copies all hand-numbered!

Almost 4 years since it's original release, THE LEAP YEAR debut album With A Little Push, A Pattern Appears was a record I expected to largely go unnoticed. Instead, the album was a retail success, quickly selling out at stores across the country. It was at this point Hobbledehoy's fastest selling release. The four friends from Perth, Australia have since gone on supporting international heavyweights Spoon, Low, Swervedriver and more. While the CD is now long out of print and we anxiously await their second full-length, it seems only fitting to give this record a new life on vinyl LP.

Hobbledehoy releases (Blueline Medic, Arrows, etc...) will be available significantly cheaper than the $1.69 per track on this service.

The artist has to be an AIR member (or be on a label whom are members) right?

Thanks for all the kind words!

That Wheeler interview from Beggars I saw some time ago, definitely recommended watching for anyone who's interested in this sort of thing. (Apologies, I would provide a link if I remembered where I originally saw it.)

Hello Ash,

Unfortunately the gimmiesound interface is pretty ugly, I certainly wish that would change.

Aesthetics aside, yes downloads are flooding in. The income is surpassing what our ''paid'' downloads (itunes, emusic, etc) collectively were bringing in. But what's really important in my opinion is that our physical sales are spiking in both retail and our e-store. It's driving new fans to discover the labels artists, many of whom would not have otherwise.

While I sincerely doubt this would work for a lot of artists / labels, it's currently working for us. I'd say it's largely due to the particular music fans Hobbledehoy attracts.

I'm sure this won't be the last revenue model we use in addition to selling physical products.
