Who are ‘The Bent Legs’?

Formed during the naughties when the world was becoming increasingly inward looking and fearful The Bent Legs came together to capture some of the mood and love of the time. Tunes banged out after midnight in the inner North. The drummer with a bung knee who would turn pale occasionally when the songs stopped. We kept playing late into the night, holding on, not knowing that all our lives were about to change.

Photo 13-01-13 4 54 29 PMThe Bent Legs are Craig Lawton, Jay O’Neill, Rob Martin and Niall Kennedy.

A few years ago we started jamming in Brunswick. The tracks here were laid down in Northcote and then they were almost lost amongst house moves, child-raising, breakups, operations and an almost deportation.

Then late last year Vital Mastering in New York took a stab at restoring and remixing the original takes. The resultant mixes were sent to Studios 301 in Sydney to be mastered by Steve Smart whose credits include Washington, You Am I, The Jezabels, Crowded House, The Living End, Midnight Oil, The Cruel Sea and Regurgitator

And now you have a chance to listen The Bent Legs self-titled 5-track EP.

During the next few weeks I’ll be updating the site with some funny stories about the recording sessions, the lyrics and some of the back-stories. Subscribe to this blog – ie. join the fan club – by entering your email address in the box in the right sidebar or alternatively follow on Facebook or Twitter.

Followers, subscribers etc. will get access to a FREE acoustic live track during the next month so get on to it.

There are many options for getting hold of the tracks so check out the Buy page. And after you’ve listened to the songs, write some reviews because it helps us out and we also get to know what worked well.

Chonk on!

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
