I Won’t Stay Too Long & Batmania Album Tour 0
I Won’t Stay Too Long is the next single from The Fearless Vampire Killer’s impressive debut LP, Batmania. This barefaced song encompasses the vibe of the 70’s as much as it does the sound. The retro surf-rock tune is “essentially about one night stands; being young and having flings with people just for the sake of it and in the end nothing really matters because we’re in our youth and we have all the time in the world to destroy relationships and start new ones. It’s the mentality of thinking you’re invincible really.”
Staying true to the sound that we have come to know and love, I Won’t Stay too Long is layered with musical texture that barrels through to a powerful finish and reinforces the claims that TFVK are “one of Australia’s greatest hidden gems”.
2012 has kicked off at a cracking pace for the band. With For You & Me recently on the American TV series 90210, TFVK are beginning to make a name for themselves internationally.
The Fearless Vampire Killers will be hitting the road in March with what J Mag have dubbed a “Brilliant Monster”. Batmania explodes lives, so be sure to catch them on any (or all) of the dates below.

MAG and The Slattery Media Group are thrilled to announce that MAG After Dark will be returning in 2011. With the masters of party-starting good times, BLUEJUICE, locked in to headline the event, MAG After Dark is expected to again attract a sellout crowd – just like 2010 where Art vs. Science shook the Prince Bandroom walls until they couldn’t take it.
Oh, and it’s MAG’s birthday, Australia’s highest circulating music title is turning eight, so we’re making sure it is going to be great, wonderful, amazing and ‘most excellent’ all rolled into one.
Since seminal indie classic Vitriol first put BLUEJUICE on the map and dominated the Triple J playlist, the Sydney outfit have continued from strength to strength. Their hit single Broken Leg went PLATINUM and picked up a slew of awards for Video of The Year as well as an ARIA nomination. Two years later, BLUEJUICE return with their most cohesive album yet. Due out November 11, Company is a genre-hopping, chart-busting monster. New single Act Yr Age has been enticing and shocking the nation with its ‘granny loving’ video and there’s plenty more where that came from.
Supported by an all-singing, all-dancing, all-everything live show, the new album is a chance for BLUEJUICE to showcase both their love of pop music and unhinged live shows. You’ll see both firsthand at MAG After Dark. Supporting Bluejuice on the night are The Fearless Vampire Killers, and DJ’s Derek {K} and Andrew Slattery

With a unique blend of garage-rock riffs and surf-pop hooks, The Fearless Vampire Killers we know today are a far cry from the sound you would expect of four teens who made a high school pact to worship the false idols of rock n’ roll. Although the line up has changed slightly since starting out, the Melbourne outfit have proved they possess the raw talent and genius essential for creating highly infectious tracks.
The first taste from this bands powerful and intoxicating LP was For You and Me, a catchy blues infused track that, left listeners with an uncontrollable thirst for more. “This song was never going to be our single. We didn’t realise this song’s potential until months after the recording”.
It was a long process with each track coming together in its own time. Some, including previous single Loaded Gun, spent months as a work in progress, without a title, or main phrase. “The very last thing we did was finally settle on “I’m a Loaded Gun’”. While other tracks such as The Sinner were born then and there whilst experimenting with a new dynamic, and proving deprivation breeds creativity. “Our old bassist Whil didn’t turn up to practice one day so we played around as a three-piece with Sean on bass, and this is what came out. It was an interesting way to work”.
From secret house parties to support slots for the likes of Kasabian, The Hives and more recently The Mars Volta, The Fearless Vampire Killers erupt live. The level of skill possessed by this young band when performing becomes evident as does the bands musical influences. Paying homage the rock icons, The Beatles, the band’s striking live rendition of Yer Blues is an absolute stand out and always has the audience swooning.
Following a number of successful singles the band chose Melbourne’s Soundpark Studios to make their mark and record debut album Batmania – featuring Seán Ainsworth on vocals & rhythm guitar, Jacob McGuffie on bass guitar, Justin Olsson on drums and Al Marx on lead guitar. Batmania has been produced by Lars Stalfors (The Mars Volta) and engineered by Michael Badger.
