Sweet Misery: The highly anticipated long player from the guitar/drums two piece The Blackwater Fever. 13 tracks of garage blues, alt-country, murder ballads, and four on the floor rock n' roll, with appearances by Steve Merry (The Fumes), Alex Archer (The Kill Devil Hills) and crunk soloist Red Ghost all putting their mark on this potent, multi-layered release. A harrowing growl, a tortured electric guitar and the rhythmic stomp of an unrelenting drum kit. If you close your eyes you can almost smell the swamp and feel the moonlight on your face. It's hard to believe such an atmospheric, blues-heavy sound comes from just two guys. Breaking your heart one minute only to pick you up with an irresistable rocker the next, this Brisbane-based duo are a live experience not to be missed. Released in 2006, their Abused Blues EP saw strong support from Aussie stations with consistent airplay, interviews and gig crossovers. This national hype helped TBWF gain momentum, sharing stages with internationalists The Black Keys & Bob Log III plus shows and tours with home grown acts The Fumes, The Vasco Era, Birds Of Tokyo, Whiskey Go Go's, The Kill Devil Hills, Mia Dyson, The Mess Hall, Youth Group, Yves Klein Blue, Ash Grunwald, The Gin Club and Mary Trembles to strong music press reviews.
