DMA's - Live MTV Unplugged Melbourne

Live MTV Unplugged Melbourne is the first live album by Australian rock band DMA’s, released in July 2019 via Infectious.

DMA's is a three-piece Australian rock band formed in 2012 in Sydney, Australia. The band is composed of Matt Mason, Tommy O'Dell, and Johnny Took. They gained popularity for their debut single "Delete" and for their self-titled EP released in 2014. Their musical sound has led to comparisons to the band Oasis.

Renowned for their anthemic energy, MTV Unplugged Melbourne finds DMA’s stripping their songbook back to basics. Focusing on acoustic guitar, piano, violin and cello, these new arrangements unveil fresh new perspectives on the songs - honing in on the poignancy of the band’s lyrics, and their classic songwriting.

The set makes an immediate statement with “Feels Like 37”, which substitutes its rush of spiky melody with a more reflective atmosphere. Numerous fan favourites such as “Step Up The Morphine”, “In The Air” and “Lay Down” resonate in their new form, while the album also features their previously unreleased, violin-driven take on the Madonna classic “Beautiful Stranger”.

MTV Unplugged was launched with the emotionally-charged acoustic version of “The End”. This represents DMA’s’ first live performance of the song, which has since become a staple of their live sets.

This double album 2LP record set is a limited edition 2022 reissue on red coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, pressed in Australia via I Oh You.
