The Sunday Spotlight returns for another great, iconic Australian group, this week, its Brisbane's Ball Park Music. The group just released their sixth self titled record as well as covering Radiohead on Triple J's Like a Version.
Ball Park Music came onto the scene with iFly back in 2010. A huge radio hit on Triple J. Their debut album Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs followed featuring hits and sing a longs like Rich People Are Stupid, It's Nice to Be Alive, Literally Baby and more. Next came Museum featuring more indie favourites then Puddinghead in 2014 followed by Every Night The Same Dream & Good Mood.
That sees us up until 2020 by which time the five piece had released Spark Up!, Day & Age and Cherub. By October we were ready for a full length release.
The album was featured this week on Triple J whilst already going well on the iTunes album chart.
Ball Park Music won the J Awards of 2011 for Unearthed Artist of the Year whilst also being nominated that same year for Australian Album of the Year. In 2014 they were also nominated for the same award with Puddinghead.
The group are a favourite on the tour and festival scene whilst their growing back catalogue is loaded with choice sing-a-longs.
Sam Cromack , Jennifer Boyce, Paul Furness, and twins Dean Hanson and Daniel Hanson make up Ball Park Music. So why not make Sunday your day for discovering Brisbane's favourite indie five piece.
Until next week!
