As all that have seen them know, Fall Electric are a stunning live band, so be sure to check out these shows before the band go supernova.

For those not in the know Fall Electric is a storm of acoustic music revolving around the songs of former adamsaidgalore mainman Andrew Ryan. Andrew’s steel string guitar claps as sharp as lightning. Tristen Parr can be seen regularly playing with Schvendes, his cello playing with Fall Electric is the gusts of a breeze keen and powerful enough to flip young ladies off their feet. Pete Guazzelli’s drumming is the rain… pelting in perfect continuous increments… at times in buckets and at others like a sun shower. Having incorporated a range of different musicians in the studio, the band brought in fourth member Stina Thomas to help realise their recorded sound live. Stina, an artist in her own right uses her Micro-Korg to weave glimmering, sometimes dirty electronics through the mix creating a ribbon of continuity between the plucked and bowed strings of the guitar and cello then wrapping it around the kick drum to tie the whole band together.

Hidden Shoal Recordings will release the band’s brilliant debut album Measure and Step on November 11th 2008 with the first single due out early October. The album was recorded with Casey Rice who has worked with the likes of The Dirty Three, Liz Fair, Tortoise, Stereolab and Grand Salvo.
