After performing regularly around Melbourne and touring Queensland on the back of their debut independent release, The Shoes & Gloves E.P., Dion Read and the Afterthoughts have released their anticipated follow-up, Be Here Right Now.
The Afterthoughts have been together since early 2007, assembled as a vehicle for young singer/songwriter Dion Read to showcase the songs he had been writing since moving to Melbourne in 2005. As with any band, the sum of the parts have made a massive whole with the musicianship of bassist James K Pere and drummer Kyle Goldsworthy helping to shape what were bedroom recordings in to dynamic, upbeat and driving pop songs.
Dion Read and the Afterthoughts have received national airplay on Triple J radio and television and ABC Coast FM with the track Unloving You and have attracted international attention online with rave reviews from music blogs in the US and Brazil as well as those in Australia.
