Edit history

First came the songs, written across nine countries in hotels, on trains and buses, and in the bedrooms of their creator Dan Durack. After a few years there were enough songs to make an album – a sprawling but branded collection built on Durack's depth of love and knowledge of music. At that point beyond the limitations of one man and one guitar, the songs that had become an album became a band. Durack returned to his West Australian home of Perth from a decade-long European exile, and Tenderhooks were born. A veteran from much-loved rock ensemble Three Orange Whips, Durack brought Tenderhooks to life using personnel he grew up alongside in his local scene. In a city like Perth, that means some spectacular talent. Co-produced by Luke Steele (the genius and voice behind Empire Of The Sun and The Sleepy Jackson) the Tenderhooks album features some of Perth's finest, most accredited musicians. Old mates, now at the top of their game. Representing the mind of a life-long record

After playing together for 18 months, Tenderhooks are extremely excited to announce the release of their debut EP, Headcase. Marc Deaz, Mia Tinkler, Nick Kearton and Oli Mestitz come together as proof of Melbourne's harmonious musical melting pot and deliver one of the warmer moments of yet another cold winter.
