about

Revered Melbourne blues institution Checkerboard Lounge are releasing their first new music since their multi-award winning and blues-chart topping album Sun Sessions.
Double A-sided new single "Uncivil Compliance"/"Rollercoaster" is the first product of sessions with equally revered entity Jeff Lang producing; sessions which will ultimately result in the release of a new Checkerboard Lounge album later in 2023. The group's latest album, Sun Sessions, won four of six available awards at the Melbourne Blues Awards and Best Blues Album at the Music Victoria Awards in 2022. It was in Rhythms magazines Top 10 Albums of the Year, and it spent more than a year on the Australian Blues & Roots Airplay chart, including multiple months at #1.

The new single is the first record to feature the band's current line-up, which features monster muso Zoë Frater on bass alongside group founder Carl Pannuzzo on vocals and drums, Shannon Bourne on guitars and Tim Neal on Hammond Organ.

While Carl Pannuzzo is revered as a vocalist (the late Broderick Smith once said Carl was the best soul singer in the country), the band wanted to highlight its instrumental prowess on the single with the catchy guitar-voiced groover "Uncivil Compliance". This also harkens back to when instrumentals were as common on 45s as vocal numbers.
