Episode 142: My Friend Lonelyspeck

A quiet kid from suburban Adelaide, Sione Teumohenga always kept their passion for music private and locked away. Bit by bit and song by song, however, saw them unravel that shyness and insecurity to ultimately reveal a blooming, blossoming and creative songwriter. The last few years has seen Teumohenga at the helm of Lonelyspeck, creating some of the most unique and immersive experimental/electronic music that this country - or indeed any country - has to offer. Through Lonelyspeck, Teumohenga has gotten to play Laneway Festival, collaborate with Allday and even open for The Dillinger Escape Plan - and they're far from finished, too. Back in June during a visit to Sydney, Teumohenga had a chat out the front of a busy Surry Hills cafe and gave a quick guided tour through nu-metal discoveries, high-school bands and opening up to Ableton.Lonelyspeck's new EP is out November 15 via Good Manners Records.Abyssal BodyLonelyspeck will be opening for Baths on November 19 in Melbourne and November 20 in Sydney.Thanks to Sione Teumohenga, Hugh McClure, Good Manners, Two Good Eggs Cafe and Adam Buncher.Follow Lonelyspeck on Twitter and Instagram: @lonelyspeckSupport David and the podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/davidjamesyoungThis podcast was recorded on Gadigal land and edited on Tharawal land.www.allmyfriendsareinbarbands.comSupport David on Patreon: http://patreon.com/davidjamesyoungSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
