Dion Read & The Afterthoughts - Be Here Right Now

Dion Read & The Afterthoughts follow up previous release The Shoes & Gloves EP with a new five tracker, following a heavy bout of touring around Melbourne and Queensland recently.

Be Here Right Now is the opening title track and while you have to give credit to James K Pere (bassist) and Kyle Goldsworthy (drums) who provide a superb rhythm section for the talents of singer and songwriter Dion Read.

On this track and in fairness others on the EP like The Blame and Make My Day it’s his vocals and the powerpop music powered along by his Ben Folds style piano that provides the real drive in the track, the others play their parts for definite and it wouldn’t work as a solo act, but he’s definitely the burning star here.

Intereting stuff that could well find a home somewhere on the fringes of the mainstream over here.
