IT’S HERE!

Recorded in 22 action packed days and nights between October 06 and February 07 at Brunswick’s Thirty Mill Studios, the stunning new album ALRIGHT ALREADY is dripping with ink and out through Soundvault records. Launched at the world famous 2007 Port Fairy Folk Festival to fantastic response, it follows the acclaimed INNER SOUL (04) and the quirky ep FLAUNT YOUR SWEETNESS (01).

Bachelor of Jazz Richard ‘Tank’ Tankard, the big hairy keyboardist from Blue Heat, Shane Howard band, Things of Stone of Wood, Andy Alberts and the Walkabouts, and, recently, Jimmy Barnes at ‘Fill the ‘G’, leads the Dilemma through a soul/jazz/blues/funk workout, with the occasional wink to pop.

Featuring the fine work of the full TD line up, the album showcases the talents of Jon Emry (drums), Ruben Shannon (bass), Matt Hewson (sax) and Matt Trenery (trumpet). Between them, they have appeared with Blue Heat, Piffen Yonnies, Neil Murray, Shane/Damian/Marcia Howard, Gorgonzola, The Borderers, Extreme Sprinklers and Andy Kirkland.

Previous live staples ‘He who Hesitates’ and ‘Set the Agenda Brenda’ are now joined happily by the new kids - ‘Come Over’, ‘Get Outta my House’ and the jazz 6/8 closer ‘For More’. The introspective guitar jangle comes from “Penultimate Days’ and “Cellar’. One style it ain’t. And that’s the Dilemma.
