The Tonights

LABEL: SUGARRUSH Records
Formed out of a desire to have a water-tight creative unit unbounded by genre or fashion, The Tonights are built around the core trio of chief songwriter/pianist & bassist Eva Fritz, her guitar & bass playing brother Henry and her husband Christian Paul Sargeant, who fills the role of both drummer & producer. The bands' sound is augmented by multi-instrumentalist Col McIntyre.
From hooky guitar riffs to atmospheric, piano-led mantras, The Tonights’ charm lies in their diverse yet distinctive sound which journeys from symphonic pop to minimalist balladry; neo-psychedelia to undiluted rock -occasionally within the life of a single song. Always providing the bridge between these sometimes disparate styles is vocalist Eva Fritz-whose warm, melodic voice is at once sultry but vulnerable; reflective but hopeful, and can possess an almost hymnal quality suggesting higher powers....
The Tonights’ self-titled debut album has received outstanding national and international reviews and airplay. The popularity of lead track ‘Tiptoes’ led to its recent release in the form of a remix EP featuring radical re-workings by the UK’s Go Home Productions (remixer David Bowie/Kaiser Chiefs/Plaid), Benjamin Ely (REGURGITATOR) and Nam Shub Of Enki (Brisbane psychotic-electro guru) as well as an exclusive epic horror-jazz version from The Tonights themselves.
