This Sanctuary announce the release of new single, ‘I Do’
Sydney pop rockers This Sanctuary have announced their new single, I Do set for release on July 19 and will be celebrating with an east coast run of shows and festivals throughout August and September. The new single is lifted from the band’s forthcoming album, Keep Talking, Please which is due to hit stores in late August.
After first single Rumour picked up solid airplay around the country late last year, second single I Do will be serviced to Australian media on Monday July 8. “The single tells a story of two lovers who are separated for long periods of time which is soo relatable to the members of our band as we’re often away from home,” explains lead vocalist Renee Sieff. The song begins sweetly and quickly builds to become a belting pop rock number with a huge international sound, heralded by Sieff’s powerful and unique vocals.
“We’re so excited to show everybody this new single as it really offers a great taste of what is to come on our new album. We love giving our fans something new to experience, so hopefully they will really enjoy this!”
Armed with a kaleidoscope of musical and cultural backgrounds (Ben and Brendan are Malaysian, Sam Fijian, Neil South African and Renee Egyptian), This Sanctuary have already set a buzz across the world with their high energy and enviable live show, even securing a performance on the main stage at the global music conference, Music Matters in Singapore and Indonesia’s biggest rock festival, Java Rockin’land.
Influenced by day-to-day experiences and bands such as Paramore, Four Year Strong and Fall Out Boy, the band’s resulting music is an eclectic fusion of meaningful pop songs that has awakened and resonated with a global fanbase. Next up on their to do list is Australia!
This Sanctuary is Renee Sieff (vocals), Ben Tan (Lead Guitar),
Neil Burmester (Rhythm Guitar), Sam Sudhakar (bass) and Brendan Tan (drums).

ELLA HOOPER ANNOUNCES TUESDAY NIGHT JUNE RESIDENCY AT THE TOFF ALONGSIDE TEXTURE LIKE SUN
Off the back of the success of her packed out Haxan single launch at The Workers Club earlier this month, Melbourne songstress Ella Hooper has announced a June residency at The Toff In Town, supported weekly by special guests, Texture Like Sun.
To celebrate her new Tarantino-esque solo workings, Ella will perform the songs from her forthcoming solo album, In Tongues every Tuesday night through June.
“A warming winter residency is the perfect way to introduce people to my solo album material, as it’s smoky and sultry and goes well with whisky,” laughs Ella. Excited about sharing the stage with Texture Like Sun, Ella goes on to say, “they’re super talented, soo very good at what they do and I think we compliment each other in a really nice harmonious way… it’s going to make Tuesday the highlight of every week!”
Ella and Texture Like Sun will also be supported by various local acts including:
4th June – Roscoe James Irwin
11th June – Ariela Jacobs
18th June – Krista Polvere
25th June – Gena Rose Bruce
Stay tuned to hear more about Ella’s debut solo album, In Tongues set for release later in the year.

BUCHANAN ANNOUNCE EAST COAST TOUR FOR JUNE/JULY
Melbourne band Buchanan have announced an east coast tour in June/July to promote their acclaimed debut album, Human Spring. The tour is set to kick off at The John Curtin Hotel on June 6 (supported by Harts and Clubfeet DJ’s) and will move through to Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney before finishing up in their home town for a show at The Workers Club.
“We’re incredibly excited to be taking this album on the road and to cities we’ve never played before as a band,” says lead singer Josh Simons. “The recorded versions of our songs have a lot going on, so for the live show we tore it apart, and honed in on what made each song special, building it back up from there. It’s a very energetic show!”
The new single and album title track, Human Spring has been getting some positive recognition in the music industry after being championed by Triple J and many other leading community stations around Australia. “Human Spring was one of the first songs written and in hindsight really is one of the centerpieces of the album. It certainly shows the album’s worth of colour in one song,” explains Simons.
Co-produced by Simons and Catherine Marks (Foals, Death Cab for Cutie, Interpol, Kanye), the album Human Spring was recorded across seven different studios, with the bulk of the work done between Tender Trap studios in Northcote and Simons’ home garage studio. “I really wanted to evolve past the DIY production of our first couple of EPs,” explains Simons. And what better way to step it up than to have it mixed on an analogue desk by Andy Baldwin (Bjork, Midnight Juggernauts) and mastered by Geoff Pesche (Radiohead, Coldplay, LCD Soundsystem) at the world famous Abbey Road Studios.
Buchanan is Josh Simons (lead vocals, guitar and piano), Luke Shields (guitar), Miles de Carteret (bass) and Tom Crimmins (drums).
