Support for ’29 GOLD STARS’
“Dripping in an assured style and air of untouchability”. – 4/5 Stars – Declan Byrne – triple j (AUS)
“It’s got the curveball touches of a fried Beck off-cut with this searing guitar circling overhead”. – 4/5 Stars – Dave Ruby Howe – triple j (AUS)
“Cavaleri’s vocals sizzle with a kind of self-assured swagger and sass that you don’t see from many Aussie acts. We could have a future rockstar on our hands here”. – Music Feeds (AUS)
“Rich production on a tune that’s executed in all the right ways”. – 4/5 Stars – Zan Rowe – Double J (AUS)
“Nathan Cavaleri is a Sydney-based musician adding a slick, modernised twist to a nostalgic blues-n-roots-inspired sound; mixing pop hooks and intricate songwriting with raw instrumentation and this soft, DIY-esque haze”. – Pilerats (AUS)
Premiered on triple j’s Roots n All program
Added to Spotify playlist ‘Nu-Blue’

Following on from releasing a pair of critically praised singles, Sydney-based artist Nathan Cavaleri recently released his latest cut ’29 Gold Stars’ – another gripping number lifted from his forthcoming debut EP ‘Demons’ (due May 31).
Channelling the strut grooves of Prince, understated vintage tones of J.J. Cale and hybrid hip-hop type arrangements, ’29 Gold Stars’ shines a light on Nathan’s ability to shape songs eclectically, while still retaining apt cohesiveness.
Nathan describes the motivation behind ’29 Gold Stars’: “My head was in the gutter when I wrote this track. Fascinated by the relationship between desire and shame. The change in topic was a nice break from the usual emotive pieces I write. As an artist, I need this balance”.
Previous singles ‘Demons’ and ‘Rising Sun’ were widely embraced by Spotify and the likes of Australian radio stations triple j, double j, ABC Local Radio, SYN FM, JOY FM, RTR FM, Radio Adelaide, 4ZZZ, 979FM, Bay FM, Edge FM, 2XX FM, The Pulse and various others. The tracks also received support from Australian tastemakers and blogs such as Pilerats, Music Feeds, The Music, The AU Review, Savage Thrills, AAA Backstage and Forte Mag.
Nathan Cavaleri followed this release with the accompanying music video for the single, directed by Armand de Saint-Salvy and shot by Tom Black in Sydney’s suburb of Bondi Beach.

Filmed in one continuous shot, the sultry clip ties into the songs themes of ‘Guilty Pleasures’ with Nathan being involved in a love triangle between his wife and two other love interests. The risqué story takes a series of daring twists and turns; constantly keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat.
Director Armand de Saint-Salvy describes the process behind the production: “As the story happens over a number of weeks, we had to create the illusion of passing time by making changes to the set, our lighting and the character’s wardrobe while actually filming. This not only required a very complex choreography of our actors and the camera, but a number of crew that had to work around them. After more than ten hours of takes, we nailed it. The final cut was take 52 and captured after 2am”.
Since release, the track has been strongly supported by the likes of triple j, triple j Unearthed, Pilerats, Music Feeds, Savage Thrills, Spotify and community radio.
To celebrate the release of ’29 Gold Stars’ and his forthcoming debut EP ‘Demons’ (due Friday May 31), Nathan is traversing the East Coast with performances throughout May and June.

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.
