Event Details

THE ALBUM:

Four years ago, local soul powerhouse Marissa Saroca was putting the finishing touches on her debut album ‘Cheaper Than Therapy’, ready to launch on her 25th birthday. Fast forward to today and she’s feeling a serious case of déjà vu, with new album ‘Boys Write Love Songs Too’ set to drop once again on her birthday - May 28.

 

THE STORY:

Since ‘Cheaper Than Therapy’, Saroca has racked up tens of thousands of frequent flyer miles, splitting her time between home and touring the faraway cities of London, Paris, New York, and Toronto. Upon each return, she enlisted friends and musicians Adam Miller (8 string guitar) and Adam Morris (drums) to bring her tunes and stories to life. The result: ‘Boys Write Love Songs Too’, eight original tracks full of soul, attitude, life, love, and honesty – all showcasing that irresistible voice.  

 

THE SOUND:

Once again using Adam Miller as producer, ‘Boys Write Love Songs Too’ perfectly captures the exciting, raw energy of the kind of live show one can only expect from such seasoned musicians. Saroca’s love for R&B/Soul is still evident, the album’s sometimes-rock edge helping flaunt her new-found sassiness. The album also includes a bonus track from indie pop-rockers Little Blak Dress, featuring Marissa as special guest rockstar.

 

THE LAUNCH:

Set at the effortlessly cool ‘Underground’ at The Grand Hotel, Newcastle, the launch slash birthday bash will be every muso’s dream – and a non-muso’s ‘most interesting birthday party ever’. Featuring support by James Chatburn, and post-set partying with Jay Chase, Saroca’s band will be made up of some of the best and most respected musicians in the land:

Adam Miller – 7 string guitar

Adam Morris – drums

Jason Bone – guitar

Luke O’Dea – organ

Holly Clayton – backing vocals

Jess Clayton – backing vocals
