Led by Lucksmiths lead mouth Tali White the Melbourne (Australia) based 6 piece line up is its most rockin' incarnation yet featuring lead-cellist/bassist Cressida Griffith, Sax Prodigy Gus Rigby, drummer about town Phil Collings, trumpet from Roger the tall man Clark and guitar magic from Basic Shapes Gerry Eeman. The favourite band you may not have known you had, the Guild League make music that you'll want to hug hard.

Tobias Cummings is from Melbourne, Australia. In 2004 he was signed to Bruce Milne's record label In-Fidelity (Dan Kelly, The Drones, Sophie Koh) and released a six track EP, You Incomplete Me, to great hurrahs!

Their debut album Join the Dots was released in late 2006 to more hurrahs! both in Australia and internationally. The album was shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize.

Review: The Sunday Age July 24
People have been deriding Melbourne's The Sailors as vulgar, offensive, sexist, racist, homophobic one-trick ponies for years. But they're not. Well they are pretty vulgar, and the lyrics are distasteful, but if you listen to the snarling Cracker in the Niggertonk, the sing-speak of I Wanna be Black, and the almost-sweet refrains of Back in the Closet, it's obvious that The Sailors are challenging prejudices by subverting stereotypes.
