PRAISE FOR TOTAL GIOVANNI

“These self-styled party lotharios show off a discerning, deep appreciation for disco, The Cure, Talking Heads and MiSex… Loads of fun” – The Herald Sun ★★★★

“A diverse, thrilling experience through the band’s wonderful creative minds, [Euphoria is] a record not to be missed.” – The AU Review ★★★★

“Silky synth-pop epic driven by heavy 80s nostalgia” – Pilerats

“The introduction to [Awake] is a sharp, sweltering, Spanish guitar-like sound, with a fine bass line that follows to accompany echoing vocals leading the song… You know you’re in for a good time.” – Purple Sneakers

“Incendiary, light-footed and brazen with cow bell love, Awake is sure to make your feet move, wherever you lie” – AAABackstage

Melbourne’s Total Giovanni are thrilled to release their forthcoming debut album Euphoria today via Dot Dash / Remote Control Records.

A blend of  Balearic hedonism, classic punk funk and psychedelic washes, Euphoria feels like a sweaty dancefloor and tastes like the first burst of summer. Glistening singles ‘Your Light’, ‘Comes In Waves’, ‘Awake’ & ‘I See’ each draw on the diverse inspirations that have influenced the making of Euphoria, where the Paradise Garage meets Madchester on the shores of the Mediterranean.

Total Giovanni are a band that emerged out of the creative experimentation of five old friends Vachel Spirason, Julian Rawendra, Joe Charles, Dave Reidy and Matthew Hadley. The band’s following has built quickly on the reputation for their unpredictable and incendiary live shows. In addition to displaying a unique musical rapport, these live shows involved visual experimentation and explosive physical performances that combined to set off a word-of-mouth phenomenon.

Total Giovanni are set to take their amazing live show on the road in support of Euphoria in October and November. With Sydney and Brisbane sold out and Melbourne’s second show about to sell out, do not miss Total Giovanni in full flight.

al Giovanni are excited to share two brand new remixes for current single ‘Your Light’.

Premiering on Mixmag yesterday, Tuff City Kids – the duo consisting of Gerd Jason and Phillip Lauer – have delivered an amazing italo-disco inspired summer banger that begs you to worship at the altar of Total Giovanni.

Sydney’s Sam Weston (Alba, Shiraz Voyager) has delivered ‘Your Light (Sam Weston’s Lights Low Rub)’ which has been streaming exclusively via Thirty Days Of Yes.

Both remixes are now available on all digital service providers.

‘Your Light‘ reintroduces you to the Total Giovanni’s signature breezy groove, edges into more polyrhythmic territory then escorts you through an open, big falsetto disco chorus, with layered lo-fi synths and up beat guitars pulsing towards the track’s close. “It was the first time we’d recorded with a live drummer instead of using drum machines and samples,” the band say, “we wanted the song to have a warm organic feel that reflected the sentiment and tone of the song.” Graeme Pogson, whose elite kit skills power GL and Bermuda, laid down the body of the track which would base the collective energy of the band playing in one room.

Lyrically, the song is about love as a journey. “The song got written around the time my partner became pregnant and it’s really about the euphoria of awakening and becoming. I feel like I owe my lover an eternal debt for changing my life for the better so the song is about that shift she brought about in me,”says Vincent D (AKA Frankie Topaz)
