BIO: Formed out of a desire to have a water-tight creative unit unbounded by genre or fashion, The Tonights’ are built around the core trio of chief songwriter/pianist & bassist Eva Fritz, her guitar & bass playing brother Henry and her husband Christian Paul Sargeant, who fills the role of both drummer & producer. The bands' sound is augmented by Col McIntyre on woodwind.

From hooky guitar riffs to atmospheric, piano-led mantras, The Tonights’ charm lies in their diverse yet distinctive sound which journeys from symphonic pop to minimalist balladry; neo-psychedelia to undiluted rock -occasionally within the life of a single song. Always providing the bridge between these sometimes disparate styles is vocalist Eva Fritz-whose warm, melodic voice is at once sultry but vulnerable; reflective but hopeful, and can possess an almost hymnal quality suggesting higher powers....

The Tonights delivered themselves into the music world with a self-titled debut album that has received outstanding national and international reviews and airplay. The band take to Australia's highways in 2006 to support the album, (released nationally Nov 2005 through Sun & Air/MGM) and forthcoming 'Tiptoes' Remix EP (due late 2006).
