Posted
on December 3 2009
Sienna Skies are a 6-piece Experimental/Post Hardcore band from Sydney, Australia. Their debut album ‘Truest Of Colours’ could well be what Australian Hardcore fans have been waiting for.
In 2007, the band released their first EP titled ‘Where Joy Exists Despair Beckons’ which saw the band tour quite consistently both in Australia and New Zealand which paved the way for them to become a support favourite to many Australian and international touring acts including Haste The Day (USA), Blessed By A Broken Heart (CAN), Family Force 5 (USA), Closure In Moscow, The Amity Affliction, The Getaway Plan, Behind Crimson Eyes, The Red Shore, Carpathian, Deez Nuts and Mourning Tide... just to name a few.
The full-length album ‘Truest of Colours’, released nationally on December 5th by recently established label ‘New Justice Records’ (Town Hall Steps, Ash Phoenix, As Silence Breaks & Chemical Transport), is easily one of the most anticipated Australian releases of 2009. Including killer tracks "Heartquake", "Daylight Through The Nightlife" and "Sea Of Smiles", this is something to be excited about!

We played an amazing festival called T in the Park in Scotland, which was a year and a half ago now, but that was really amazing in terms of being, by far, the biggest crowd we've played infront of, I think it was- we played in the dance tent, and it was the middle of the day, so it wasn't night time craziness, but they packed like 20,000 people into this tent, and it was totally round, it was just the best kind of crowd to be playing infront of, we were really suprised and weren't expecting to get such a big reception, particually in Scotland. We only really had played a handful of shows in Glasgow and hadn't really played anywhere else, so yeah, that's definitely up there.
Ideal Lineup? We kind of actually had this discussion when we first started playing together, before we even did any shows as Cut Copy, we made up these phoney band names and played a few shows at this pub, sort of on the wrong side of the tracks and a bit run down, you could ring up like the night before and get a gig the next day, so it wasn't really like, you know.. anything amazing. But we booked in, I think a couple of times under false names, just to make sure we could actually play our instruments and do everything before we actually put Cut Copy up on the stage, and I think in that year we sort of had this imaginary- it wasn't like a festival it was kind of the idea of billing this gig where it was us headlining with Sonic Youth, and then Daft Punk would be like the warm up DJs, and that was like our ultimate show, ever! And then we've actually played with Daft Punk at the end of last year so we just feel like we've maybe partly lived that dream a little bit, even though they obviously weren't the warm up DJs for us, but yeah, we've ticked off one of those things at least. All we've got to do now is play with Sonic Youth!
