Release Notes:

Say Hello to The Long Goodbyes!

Springing from the creative watering ground of
Australia’s NSW South Coast, this three piece
ensemble is poised to inspire the music industry
with their lilting yet vibrant, groove-induced,
world-friendly tunes.
After listening to their recently released first
single “ New thought”, Fox Studios director
Christopher Collins selected the band as the winners
of a full production music video, which is currently
being played throughout Austraian television
networks.
Collins’ company Flickapolitan Films has produced
clips for a string of high profile artists during
the eighties such as Chris Rea, Sam Brown and Howard
Jones. After abandoning his search for a ‘new sound’
in Sydney, Christopher stumbled across two members
of the Long Goodbyes and heard their song ‘New
Thought’ while hanging out down south and promptly
signed them up for the shoot. The video is an
ethereal montage of pre-Raphaelite motifs

The band has an eclectic mix of creative souls. The
voice of singer/songwriter and artist Tracy Verdugo
has been long compared to both free spirited Kate
Bush, and Harriet Wheeler of the Sundays. Her
passionate display of emotion is evident voice.

National award winning songwriter/guitarist Mex from
the former Indie pop band Twinfish is also a
talented engineer, recording and mixing and
producing all Long Goodbyes songs, and writes most
of the Long Goodbyes music.

Drummer, percussionist and keyboardist, John Coleman
provides the rhythmic cohesion to the project, with
his latin based groove orientated rhythms, and fiery
marimba play.

The album is a recording that explores themes which
both unite and divide us as human beings. Imbued
with a strong holistic worldview, it explores
several different languages to highlight the wealth
of cultural messages and sounds beyond theEnglish
language. Spanning Japanese, French, Spanish and
English, vocals also glide gracefully between sultry
and uplifting, guided and inspired by intelligent
composition. Combined, these elements deliver an
album that both soothes and tantalise the senses,
making it an essential part of any quality music
collection.

What other people are saying about “The Long
Goodbyes”

“There is something special about the breathy
lyrical poetry of ‘New Thought’ by Tracy Verdugo and
the Long Goodbyes…
The melody has a transcendental quality that lingers
gently like the lengthening twilight shadows of
autumn.
The video is pure alchemy. It ebbs and flows and
strangely reminds me of a Botticelli Painting.”
Allan Baptist- Regional Arts development Manager,
Shoalhaven

“I’ll tell you right now, the song New Thought is a
hit!” Robert Allen and Mark Victor Hansen, world
renowned authors, speakers, lecturers and mentors.

“Wow - what a beautiful, professional and big,
expensive sounding production you have! This is the
best I've heard her voice sound. Your production is
wonderfully sparse - only the essentials - and
beautifully knitted together. It sounds like a hit
record to me.”
Michael Stavrou- multi platinum mix engineer, writer
and inventor extraordinaire

“the video kicks ass!…. Its totally ready for
tv……The beach shots are so perfect ……… I want to
