Augie March - On The Quiet Live

On The Quiet Live is the first live album by Australian indie rock band Augie March, released in February 2021 via Augie March.

In 2009, when it couldn't get any bigger or louder, Augie March pared back and skirted the east coast of Australia with their On The Quiet tour. Playing their acclaimed repertoire with laser-like focus and strident minimalism, this largely acoustic show was a huge hit with fans.

Ten years on in 2019, Augie March reprised the concept, bringing On The Quiet to some of their favourite venues and taking the opportunity to revisit tunes across their 23 year career.

This 15 track set was recorded at Brisbane’s famed Old Museum concert hall, containing rarities alongside crowd pleasers; all songs reimagined in sometimes startling, but always inspired, ways.

It chronicles five musicians who have performed and recorded together for over twenty years shifting effortlessly through their many collective musical gears in an informal but no less compelling format.

Glenn Richards says: “We had a seriously good run with the On The Quiet shows in 2019 and were gratified by the turn out and the response to the sets. We love playing this style of show, the songs get their due but there’s little, if any loss of power, it’s just a different kind.“

This album is a limited edition of 500 copies on compact disc housed in a cardboard gatefold sleeve with unique hand drawn illustrations by Sandra Eterovic and Madeleine Griffith, pressed in Australia via Augie March.
