Edit history

From the streets of Brunswick to the seedy bars of Singapore, Anthony Rea's songs conjure images of places, people and times. After starting in the Melbourne music scene fronting The Lyrebirds, Anthony has since lent guitars and vocals to numerous bands and projects, and has been a mainstay of Melbourne's vibrant live music scene. Now Anthony is ready to release his first solo album, Separation Street. Two years in the making, Separation Street features songs ranging from the country blues of 'Your String' to the 60's swamp rock of 'Different Kind of Blue'; and from acoustic folk to power pop. Whatever the style, Anthony's lyrics are honest and infused with a knowing humour. Recording the album in his home studio, Anthony enlisted the help of former Spacecake band mates Mark Hendriks (bass and vocals) and Jamie Dickson (drums). Bursting with acoustic and electric guitars, Separation Street features hand-crafted tones created using a blend of vintage and modern equipment. Vocal
