Biography

There are two successful bands called ‘The Boats’. One is the UK-based band and the other is Australian Instrumental/Post-Rock outfit ‘The Boats’.

The Boats (UK)
‘Songs by the Sea’ (released 27/09/2004) is the first release from the Boats, a collection of songs that the band claim where written by a band called The Sea but songs that they recorded for them after ‘finding’ the songs in a box on a beach. ‘We Made It for You’ (released 19/09/05) is the second installment from the boats, a collection of 14 piano tracks all derived from one original song.

In 2006, Moteer Records released the more song-oriented album ‘Tomorrow Time’. On 10/01/08, the Boats released their new album ‘Our Small Ideas’ on their new record label of the same name in a limited run of 200 CD-Rs

The boats have emerged with an emotive album of material that represents the birth of a very strange and beautiful kind. ‘Los Musicos Perdidos’ was recorded to analog tape over two weekends in 2004 at Intrepid Studios; a small studio in the rainforest of Olinda (just outside of Melbourne). The result is exactly that … two weekends of eclectic, instrumental music.

For the next year or so the boats went into a hiatus. After regrouping in 2005, the album was finished with some beautiful overdub additions from Rae Howell (The Sunrwae Ensemble) and Alistair Watts. The boats debut album is the valorous sound of a band captured in the first stages of their evolution.
