Sharp Practise started in 1999. Debut album Hiya was released in 2000 to good reviews, leading to an appearance on Ground Zero TV in Australia, playlisting around the world and an audience in Costa Rica of one third of the country’s population. One song from “Hiya” was featured on a DVD by Japanese TV star Chieko Mitsui, another on the “Rock For Athletes” CD produced for Italian sportswear company Fila. New album “Radiocity” is available worldwide, with songs from the CD previewed via garageband.com already winning Track of The Day and Listener’s Picks awards. The album has already featured on www.kweevak.com, and is nominated for the Kweevak Awards 2006, with radio airplay across the globe including US college, Australian indie networks and numerous internet stations. Over 200,000 copies of Sharp Practise’s music were distributed in France in late 2005. Radiocity was released under licence to Whiterock Records in Germany on 10 January 2006. Bed of Rhythm spent 11 weeks on the World Underground Chart in Australia, peaking at #3. “We are a rock band that can play with influences from folk to dance yet still create a sound that is recognised as Sharp Practise and no other band,” frontman Nigel Clothier says. “We’re fighting a crusade to get well-played, proper songs back into the charts around the world. I want to have written as many standards as Neil Finn of Crowded House ­ songs that fix moments in people’s memories. I’d like to be signing loads of autographs because people have recognised Sharp Practise as being a hard-working band with honest songs.” “Radiocity” is essentially an album about travel - in both the literal and emotional sense ­ and is a pure delight in a music world where style is often preferable to substance and should go down well with fans of the Counting Crows and Big Country and many others. “We trying to put some good playing together with some strong words and picking up on things from everyday life as if we were peeking into your diary and singing your life back to you,” Nigel says. The band toured Britain in May/June 2005 and played everywhere from London to Glasgow, including a wild night in Rhyl when Liverpool won the Champions League soccer final. Highlights were the show at the Cavern Club, Liverpool, and the last night, a hometown HMV showcase in Manchester.
