about

Brisbane based band Halfway are proud to announce the release of their third studio album, AN OUTPOST OF PROMISE.

Halfway was formed by John Busby, Chris Dale and Elwin Hawtin who originally hail from Rockhampton, Central Queensland. Based on a mutual love of Dylan, Springsteen, Big Star and The Replacements, they left Rockhampton and headed south to put together a band with the finishing touches to the line up being added in Brisbane to round the Halfway line up off as an 8 piece.

International and national supports followed the release of both LP’s. Halfway have played with The Black Keys, Gomez, You Am I, J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr), Josh Pyke, Band of Horses, Gary Louris and Mark Olsen (The Jayhawks) amongst many others.

In 2008 Halfway song writing duo, John Busby and Chris Dale won Queensland’s most prestigious song writing award - The Grant McLennan Fellowship. The selection panel included members of the Go-Betweens, the McLennan family and Queensland Arts. The fellowship allowed John and Chris to travel to London in November 2008. Whilst in London, they rehearsed, played acoustic shows, wrote and began to put together the initial framework for this their third album “AN OUTPOST OF PROMISE”.

This award helped develop a working relationship with Robert Forster (The Go-Betweens) and in 2009 Robert was recruited to handle the production duties for the new album. After months of rehearsal under Robert’s instruction, the bands third album was completed in September 2009 with Wayne Connolly again at the controls.

"An Outpost of Promise is a band coming into its own. Ten classic songs, played straight up with tension and drama"
Robert Forster - THE GO-BETWEENS (AU)
