Angus & Julia Stone

Angus & Julia Stone 是一對來自澳洲的兄妹組合，樂隊(duì)的名字就是倆人名字的相加。Angus Stone和Julia Stone。兩人的聲音各具特點(diǎn)，怎么聽都舒服。Angus的嗓音很有磁性，柔和之中帶著一絲沙啞和隨意，而Julia的嗓音則可愛得像孩子一樣，跳躍感極強(qiáng)，就連小小的跑調(diào)也讓人覺得調(diào)皮至極。 by Jody Macgregor Angus & Julia Stone are a brother-and-sister performing team, aided by Mitch Connelly on percussion (he also doubles as their official photographer). Growing up in Sydney's Northern Beaches, they were taught the history of pop music from an early age by their father, who played in a cover band. At first, they thought the Beatles' songs he played were his own compositions. In 2005, Julia Stone began teaching trumpet lessons while her brother Angus worked as a laborer. She convinced him to test his musical talents by performing locally, and he responded by bringing her on-stage with him as a backing musician. At first, the two played separately billed shows, but each would support the other on-stage to the point where it made sense to share billing credits. The duo released an EP of early material, Chocolates & Cigarettes, before moving to London in 2006, where the siblings met Fran Healy of the band Travis. Healy was impressed by their songs, inviting them to his house to use his piano. The band eventually recorded its entire second EP, Heart Full of Wine, at Healy's home. In return, Julia Stone provided backing vocals on the Travis song "Battleships," from the record The Boy with No Name. Angus & Julia Stone's debut album, A Book Like This, was released in 2007, and charted well in the bandmates' native Australia. An international release followed in March 2008. 更多>>
