Quasimodo's Dream

℗ and © 2013 Samples 'N' Seconds Records Pty Ltd. and Perfect Tripod under exclusive licence to SLAM (Save Live Australia's Music) Ltd Cover Artwork © 2013 Patricia Piccinini Limited print run of 500 copies - hand numbered. SLAM proudly presents the second in their series of limited edition 7” vinyl and digital releases. Quasimodo’s Dream, the 1981 classic by The Reels; voted number 10 in the top Australian songs of all time by APRA has now been reinterpreted by Gotye, with Perfect Tripod (featuring Eddie Perfect & Tripod). A limited vinyl release of this song includes a special collaboration by internationally acclaimed visual artist Patricia Piccinini. SLAM approached Wally (Gotye) to represent them as a SLAMbassador after he’d just caught Tripod’s ‘Australian Songs’ show. Wally was taken by Tripod’s Acapella renditions of the classic Australian songbook and the seed was planted for their version of Quasimodo’s Dream. To enhance SLAM’s 7” series, highly respected visual artists have embraced the opportunity to work with their musical contemporaries. Patricia Piccinini’s visual interpretation of Quasimodo’s Dream is an exciting addition to the project. Gotye and the other artists that support SLAM may never need to play small gigs again, yet they appreciate how important small gigs are; in backyards, garages, traditional pubs, small bars, warehouses, paddocks or wherever they happen. Between the bedroom and the world stage, we need gigs of all sizes as stepping stones in a musician’s path. SLAM’s Pledge project is also about to announce a very special evening with with Gotye, where a group of lucky people will be able to grab the opportunity to dine with Goyte at his favourite Melbourne restaurant, then catch a live gig... Wally’s treat.
