New York, NY -- Every decade ushers in the birth of a new style of Rock and Roll that energizes the Rock industry. Our new millennium just brought us the reinvigorating sounds of "The Lovetones." Their music does what Rock and Roll is supposed to do: bring out the “teenager” in all of us.

The Lovetones are a Rock and Roll band from Australia influenced by the sounds of The Beatles and David Bowie. However, they take us beyond that “union of influences” with a new, youthful, rebelliously-mature twist.

Their new album, “Meditations,” released by Tee Pee Records on Oct. 18, sounds as if it came out of a time capsule from the sixties, because the music represents a Rock and Roll “Coming of Age” that mirrors our current social awakenings.“Meditations is a ‘Meditation on Life’…deep thought, like a Coltrane or Davis record, not some ‘jingo-istic’ hippy dribble,” said Matt Tow, lead vocals/guitars.
The rest of the band is composed of Matt Sigley, bass/vocals, Serge Luca, guitar and Chris Cobb, drums. “We are a band inside a puzzle, wrapped up in an enigma,” said Tow.
And New Yorkers gave them rave reviews when The Lovetones kicked off their US visit in New York on Oct. 27.
“They have a new thing going on,” said Carl Bender, 26, audience member, “It’s kind of like Nirvana but better.”
Audiences in Galapagos, located in Williamsburg, NY, were mesmerized by such songs like “Inside a Dream,” “Pictures,” and “Mantra.”
“They’re energizing,” said Katherine Yodeo, 27, audience member.
The Lovetones’ “Indie” music is a new style of transcendental rock called “Stoner Rock,” because the music inspires provocative thought.
“It's the kind of layered sound to chill out to, to listen to at home while smoking a nice joint," said Emily Motherwell, 25, audience member.
The Lovetones’ cool, new sound is partly due to Tow’s 12-string “Rickenbacker” guitar play and Sigley’s bass that’s reminiscent of The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn or Chicago’s co-founder Terry Kath.
“It’s excellent,” exclaimed Gail Johnson, 50-something, after hearing Meditations, “There’s something very familiar about it – That’s very nice!”
When asked what made The Lovetones’ music unique, Matt Tow referenced the bands love for music and support from family and friends.
“My friends and family have been supportive from day one. Without their support I would be nothing,” said Tow, “We are a working band, and not elitist ‘Indie’ show offs…we want people to be turned on. The music is everything.”
And people are turned on and Meditations just might be appreciated by all Rock and Roll lovers.
Their music is new, hard, psychedelic, provocative and The Lovetones wind down their Tour in New York, Saturday night, at the Mercury lounge on Houston Street, NY.
