Matinée debut from Australian supergroup Bart and Friends! From humble beginnings in the 1990s in Girl of the World to founding member of the Cat's Miaow (and later Hydroplane, Pencil Tin and the Shapiros), indie pop icon Bart Cummings has spent two decades warming our hearts with his jangly pop nuggets. With a cast of other Australian luminaries, Bart and Friends debuted at the turn of the century with releases on Drive in Records and Bart's own Library Records. Nearly a decade later, Bart and Friends made a welcome return with a handsomely received EP and mini-album on the hip Lost and Lonesome imprint. Joining Bart in the current superstar lineup are Mark Monnone (The Lucksmiths), Louis Richter (Mid State Orange, the Lucksmiths), and Jeremy Cole (The Zebras), with ace vocal stylings by Pam Berry (The Pines, the Shapiros, Glo Worm, Black Tambourine, etc.) and Scott Stevens (Summer Cats, the Earthmen). The Matinée debut is the 'There May Come a Time' EP showcasing Pam's incomparable vocals across six fantastic songs. The melodious and chiming title track could have easily graced any former Shapiros release, and with it the band has accidentally recorded it's first three-minute pop song which is certainly remarkable to any serious student of Bart's previous bands.
