Ahead of her forthcoming Space Tour this November, Alex the Astronaut shares her new single ‘Happy Song’. Premiering on triple j last night and performed for the first time to a packed tent at Splendour in the Grass, ‘Happy Song’ is a track that trades in equal parts melancholy and optimism and aims straight for the heart.

Alex says: “I wrote this song at the start of the year about the awkward middle part of a breakup when you don’t really know what you’re doing. I recorded it with Sam (Cromack) and Dan (Hanson) from Ball Park Music (they both sing on the dadadas) and it took us about nine months to get it right so it’s pretty much a song baby. I’m really proud of it and I’m so excited for people to hear it”.
As previously announced, Alex will embark on a national tour in November, taking in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Perth.
It’s been a productive 2018 for Alex, who is currently on tour in Europe for the second time this year. She sold out a co-headline national tour with Stella Donnelly, played UK’s The Great Escape, Primavera in Spain, Spin Off Festival, Splendour in the Grass, and Manchester’s Neighbourhood Festival. In July she shared ‘Waste of Time’, which was added to full rotation on triple j and garnered international support from BBC Radio 1 (Huw Stephens) and Radio X (John Kennedy). She stole the show at triple j’s One Night Stand, where she performed a show-stopping cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘Blowing In The Wind’ (with Sam Cromack). Plus, in a career highlight, Alex the Astronaut interviewed Alex the (real life) Astronaut for Cosmos Magazine (read it here).

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
