The ball just keeps rolling Melbourne’s premiere soul band  Saskwatch, after a busy year winning hearts and starting parties at Golden Plains & Meredith Music Festivals, a sold out LP tour and a debut UK tour in 2012. In the later part of the year Saskwatch & Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring / Total Control), a gritty track that brings a whole new layer of garage rock to the band’s ever evolving soul sound.

‘I Get Lonely’ takes Saskwatch on a whole new path of faster and harder than ever before. The track boasts clangy guitars and fast-paced drums evoke 60s surf- rock vibes, while the horn section bring the melody, all held together by Nkechi Anele’s gutsy vocals. It’s ambitious, but it hits the mark.

The work for Mikey didn’t stop – he and Max Kohane, collectively known as Brain Children liberally applied their talents to Saskwatch’s last big single single, ‘Your Love’ and the result – an ambient remix full of echoing guitars and almost prog-rock drums.

‘I Get Lonely’ will be released as a one-off, non-album single on 7” via Northside Records with the Brain Children remix of ‘Your Love’ as the b-side.

To celebrate the single, Saskwatch will embark on a 7-day east coast tour throughout April, where the real fun happens: Saskwatch’s live show is a shimmy-shaking brassy all-out soul stomp, don’t pass it up!
