The Morning After Girls are an Australian neo-psychedelia band. The group was originally formed in Melbourne, Victoria around 2003 by founding members Sacha Lucashenko (vocals and guitar) and Martin B. Sleeman (vocals and guitar), who relocated the group to New York City in 2008. Its American lineup included Alexander White (keyboards, percussion, backing vocals), EJ Hagen (bass guitar), and John Brodeur (drums). They returned to live performances in Australia in 2017. Expect the new long-awaited full length album some time in 2022 as recently announced on LA's KCRW.
History
The group released two EPs, the first on Rubber Records in 2003 and the second on Fly Music in early 2005, both of which were self-titled. On 20 September 2005, the band released its two EPs as one CD in North America entitled The Morning After Girls: Prelude EPs 1 & 2. This album was also released as Shadows Evolve on 17 November 2005 in Australia and 16 June 2005 in the UK through the London independent label Best Before Records. Mark Gardener of Ride contributed vocals to the track "Fall Before Waking".
The band toured with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Dandy Warhols, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Keys, and The Warlocks. Festival appearances included slots at the Reading Festival, Leeds Festival, T in the Park, and Oxegen Festival—2006, Homebake in 2003, 2004, and 2005, and Clean Air, Clear Stars in 2009.
After taking time to record a new album in Australia with engineer and producer Robbie Rowlands they headed to London for final mixing with producer Alan Moulder. The band released "The General Public" maxi single exclusively through iTunes worldwide (except Australia and New Zealand). The full-length album Alone followed on 7 July 2009 (digital only through iTunes in North America). Tee Pee Records released a limited edition white vinyl 7" including the songs "The General Public" and "Who Is They". Following this, the band toured the US in the summer of 2009 with The Warlocks.
Alone. was released on CD and LP on Xemu Records (Dead Meadow, Spindrift) on 11 January 2011 in North America and 14 March in the U.K and Europe.
The band contributed the song "Death Processions" to Tony Hawk Ride, which was released in November 2009 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii. In 2009, Alone appeared on 90210, and in 2010 "To Be Your Loss" appeared in The Vampire Diaries, both on the CW network.
alone in north america was released through iTunes by Hypnagogia Films on 20 January 2015.
The band returned to Australia in 2017, performing shows in Melbourne throughout the year and into 2018. They supported The Charlatans at Melbourne's 170 Russell in August 2018.
On the 23rd of September 2021, both KEXP and KCRW’s US radio morning shows confirmed rumours from a ‘reliable source’ that release details for the new albums (plural) will be confirmed very soon.
