trib•ute [trĭb'yūt] n. 1. a gift, payment, declaration, or other acknowledgment of gratitude, respect, or admiration : recorded a cover compilation as a tribute to their musical influence.
alright, alright. so i adjusted the example a wee bit. :)
it's old news to those in the know. but it's sad news, nonetheless. after [16] sixteen brilliant years together aussie indie pop legends the lucksmiths have called it a day. all good things must come to an end eventually. [unless you're the rolling stones. in which case you are nothing but a sad shadow of your former selves churning out the annual greatest hits perfomance promoting your embarrassing album of "new" material.] not unlike my heroes, the jam, who stepped out of the limelight whilst still producing relevant music.
the indie pop scene will definitely feel the effects of their departure.
dale marquez [apple orchard, some gorgeous accident, sonnet lviii] has [once again] organised a brilliant compilation of bands to pay fitting tribute to the luckies. we're honoured to have played a part in "music to hold hands to." we hope that it serves its purpose as a farewell/love letter to our melbourne lads : tali, marty, mark & louis.
thank you for the music.

Congrats! I have to confess, though, that I've never heard the Lucksmiths, though I've certainly heard of them. Must remedy that.
So, I finally got around to checking out your blog and website. Very cool! You guys should come play a show in OKC - about halfway between Pcola and SF.
