Gold Coast pop sensation Amy Cushway has ended 2009 with more confidence in her music genre than any other period in her life. Cushway and team have been creating their own backing beats since early July and should have 4 of her latest tracks on myspace.com/amycushway by early December. Amy’s latest tracks ‘Little Overweight for T.V.’
and ‘Breathing on Aeroplanes’ are streaming now and are just a taste of the direction Amy has ventured towards. Cushway explains, “As much as I enjoy writing intricate acoustic ballads, there’s nothing better than adding thunderous beats and raw energy to your set. I have just purchased a mini van and cant wait to spread these songs around Australia”. Stay tuned for new Amy Cushway tour dates in early 2010.
The new live show has been described as “an epic hour that gives all fans a taste of rock, pop and the occasional stripped back acoustic number”.
Amy recently released her 2nd EP ‘Love’s Not Anorexic’ which she toured nationally in early July and believes the next 2 years as being the most important in her career so far. “I need these songs on every Ipod in Australia. I know what I need to do, and I trust these songs have the potential – I just need to dig deep now and make this happen”

It was at the Great Escape Festival in Sydney. It was a really nice setting as the stage was set up alongside the Parramatta river. The only problem was about 15 minutes before the show it was raining and there was no crowd in front of the stage. So we where obviously like a little bit worried. Then about 5 minutes to show time, suddenly like clockwork the sun came out as well as a swarm of a few thousand people rowdy and ready to go crazy. Needless to say it was an awesome show and even better because it was in front of a home town crowd!
Ideal Lineup? Outkast, Bubba Sparxxx, Mos Def Featuring The Roots, K-os, Rage Against the Machine, Dead Prez, Notorious B.I.G & 2pac (hey you said ideal! J)
