Meanjin jangle pop/alt-country five-piece Full Power Happy Hour are launching new single 'Siblings' at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Friday 1 July. They'll be supported by Meanjin alt-country songwriter NATHAN JOHN KEARNEY. 'Siblings' is the new single by the Brisbane indie-folk fun merchants, delving into the unique intensity of close blood relationships. Alex Campbell's hook-laden and ultra-expressive vocals ride atop crisp, bouncy acoustic melodies and rousing gang vocal counterpoints. Full Power Happy Hour first captured hometown hearts with their heartfelt, high-energy shows and parlayed that momentum into their acclaimed 2021 self-titled debut album. With songs based around the beguiling worldview and bewitching vocals of singer-songwriter Campbell, the band’s unique aesthetic mixes the intimacy and fragility of ‘60s folk singers like Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez with the ramshackle bonhomie of The Pogues, tempered by a more modern indie-rock sensibility akin to The Clean. They return with their confident second album, rife with impassioned lyrics, joyful camaraderie and heart-stirring harmonies, but with more focussed arrangements and a self-belief that elevates these songs to new emotional heights without sacrificing the band’s laidback charm. Supporting is NATHAN JOHN KEARNEY, whose songs evoke echoes of Townes Van Zandt, Emmylou Harris and Uncle Tupelo, with a modern Australian perspective. Also supporting is ZAC GUNTHORPE who simply needs just his guitar and voice to enchant the night.
