The Pictures cut a swathe through the competition early in the new millennium, but were hindered by usual music biz rubbish and the fact that "rock" - which had once more or less been synonymous with "pop" - had by the new millennium been reduced to a misunderstood sub-genre, even if it was seeing a brief "revival" of popularity at the time.ĭavey Lane elaborates: “I was burned out and, in hindsight, incredibly depressed and anxious as a result of the band’s experiences. No mere side project, The Pictures, who also featured - feature - bass player Luke Thomas and drummer Brett Wolfenden, were known for their classic tunage and their meaty, beaty, big, and bouncy instrumental punch, which was heard on 5 EPs, 2 albums (including a Triple J Feature Album) and an odds and sods compilation. The Pictures of course were - are - the singing, songwriting and guitar-slinging vehicle for Davey Lane, best known perhaps to Australian music fans as You Am I's "newest" member - he joined them in 1999 - and long-time guitarist. Available digitally, on limited edition marbled blue/black 7” vinyl, and on black vinyl.
Melbourne trio The Pictures return with their first new music in 15 years in the form of a new single ‘I Can't Hold It Back’, the first taste of an LP, due early 2023.
