The Wonderful Lives

Piano, cello, pedal steel guitar, bass and drums collide in an epic storm of folk-shanties, grimy rock dirges and bittersweet dark country tales.

The Wonderful Lives have just released their first full-length album titled “The Human Heart Will Take Your Life”. Recorded over the winter of 2011 the album perfectly captures their alternative folk rock sound and unique instrument combination. From the grimy dirge of ‘The Dirty Bride’ to the bittersweet ‘Way Out to Sea’, the harrowing ‘Mary Lou’ and the demented carousel ride that is ‘They Were Waiting For Me’ this collection of songs constantly rises and falls, taking the listener on a ride from love to hate, life to death and heaven to hell. The album can be streamed in full from their official website www.thewonderfullives.com. The track ‘100 Ways’ is available as a free download.

The Wonderful Lives are:
Lucas Preddey (Vocals, piano, guitar, harmonica)
Tim Mahony (Cello, guitar, backing vocals, accordion)
Scott Cary (Drums, percussion, melodica, guitar)
Johnny Graffham (Electric guitar, Pedal Steel)
Cameron Jones (Bass)

Inspired by such visionaries as Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and PJ Harvey, these songs possess an insight into the human condition, revealing our failings and flaws, our ability to love and at the same time, destroy.
