ROOT! SAY 'GET UP YOURSELF '
... we were wrong about Tiffany. She was a MAJOR arsehole.
Pretty, tanned, body like those "who cares about the destination as long as I'm in a bikini" presenters on Getaway. News reporter voice - you know how they're taught that really weird emphasis that makes every fourth word sound like a car slowing down before a speed hump? John Wayne Gacy sense of humour. Education from the Elle McPherson "I don't read books unless I'm in them" school and a soul as cold as the arctic wind sweeping across the tundra
, after last year's critically - acclaimed debut Root Supposed He Was Out Of The Question.
Meet Tiffany. She's one of the characters you 'll meet on Get Up Yourself - the new single from ROOT!
ROOT! is, of course, the new project from "DC" - a man with a past he's not prepared to admit - but arguably Australia's most literate, funny, charismatic front man, backed by a rootsy, funky combo who literally sizzle with musical chops. ROOT! bring you catchy, funny, dark songs of the suburban underbelly in a riveting show that's part rock band, part poetry reading, part performance art.
And Get Up Yourself - a swinging slice of swamp swagger with the strangest yet catchiest tagline - "it's not soul, it's solipsism" - is their first release for 2008
ROOT! will be launching Get Up Yourself - which comes with three bonus tracks - in Melbourne and their first Sydney and Brisbane dates.
