Sister Jane’s ‘Be Kind’ featured on ABC TV’s Crownies last night along with Lanie Lane’s ‘What Do I Do’ and Lovetones’ ‘When It Comes’ (which coincidentally was produced and engineered by our very own Liam Judson). Nice one ABC!!! See it here.

Just been reading through some of this year’s press. No harm in giving one’s self a pat on the back so we thought we’d post some here for y’all ;)

The Drum Media, (Album review) 24 May 2011- “…a big bluesy trenchcoat, covered in a funk of dust and ready to be wrapped around your soul…”

“…Mercy is the first full-length from the Blue Mountains exports… It’s a tremendously impressive debut, as well as a glorious album for a road trip… Mercy explores the scope of Sister Jane’s talent as a band, drifting between ambience and rough-riding rockabilly…”

★★★★ – BRAG MAGAZINE INDIE ALBUM OF THE WEEK

The Brag, 25 April 2011- “…The nine songs presented here coalesce to envelop the listener in a richly melodious soundscape that oscillates between rollicking 60s Americana rock’n’roll, hazy psychedelia and haunting mini-anthems… Finding bands that operate at this level is always a joy..”

Rushh Magazine, April edition 2011 - “…There’s something of Buffalo Springfield, a touch of a mellower Justin Townes Earle to what they put out – it’s all Bob Dylan meets the boy in the checked shirt you’ve crushed out on for years.”

★★★★ – BRAG MAGAZINE INDIE ALBUM OF THE WEEK (‘Be Kind’ EP)

The Brag, 7 Feb 2011- “You’ll hear the elegance of well-crafted Byrds songs coupled with the heady, pulsing Americana of a Mark Lanegan and Isobell Campbell collaboration.”

Our set time for FBi Radio’s “Pot Luck” social night at Kings Cross Hotel is 8.15 to 8.45 this Friday night. Come down for a drink, a chin wag, and a flitter through the “zine theme” novelties for the evening. What better way could there be to wind down & vibe up after a hard week’s slog. Hope to see you there friends. The live music portion of the night will be broadcast live on FBi 94.5FM’s ‘The Bridge’ program. Gotta love that station, eh?!

Not a word of a lie… We’ve made our way along winding roads, through fog and rain, to the heart of the woods with howling dogs and owls a flutter. Now here we are in a disused school house with a bottle of scotch & instruments a plenty. In 7 days time we intend to have a dozen songs recorded and ready for you all. Not a word of a lie… This place is spookier than grandma’s attic, vibier than your mum’s first date, and prettier than your childhood sweetheart.

 Only 7 days to go before we float north to woody Wauchope to spend a week recording the next record in a dis-used school house that we’ve not yet seen. Hoping there’s a heater (and some good room reverb)…

Just confirmed for Friday 19 August Sister Jane will play a new evening at FBi Social - a weekly taste of Sydney’s arty underbelly.

Take zine stalls, bingo, art installations, readings, skits, film, crafternoons, bands & DJs… throw it all together, and you’ve got POT LUCK. Free, every Friday from 6pm at FBi Social.

Each week will bring a different combination of fun times.

Details will be posted on Sister Jane’s ‘Shows’ page as available or check FBi Radio’s website http://www.fbiradio.com/events/pot-luck
