Ten years ago, in a shared house on Chapel Street, Melbourne, four 20-year-olds with zero expectations wrote and recorded an EP in a single afternoon. Those six blistering minutes of music became ‘Giddy Up’. An hour later, Amyl and The Sniffers had a name and the beginnings of a legacy.
As Amy recalls: “We recorded and wrote over the afternoon… we’d never played together before that day… it’s spontaneous, and fun and achievable in that time because to us it sounded more than good and we weren’t perfectionists and it didn’t matter.”
Following a year of backyard gigs, playing for friends and partying across Melbourne’s sticky carpet music scene, the band released their iconic second EP, ‘Big Attraction’, in 2017.
Now, to celebrate a decade of raw power and reckless spirit, ‘Giddy Up / Big Attraction’ returns in a definitive 10th anniversary edition - fully remastered for maximum punch.
Featuring early classics like ‘I’m Not A Loser’ and ‘Stole My Pushbike’, plus enduring live favourites ‘Balaclava Lover Boogie’ and ‘Westgate’, this is the sound of Amyl and The Sniffers before the world caught up - feral, funny and unstoppable.
From DIY house shows in Melbourne to international stages, it all started here.
180g black vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve showcasing Chris Sutherland’s iconic 2017 band photo, alongside an exclusive new essay from Amy Taylor and a heap of neverbefore- seen behind-the-scenes shots from the band’s earliest days by Jamie Wdziekonski.
