It’s the “supergroup” that just had to happen. Three of Australia’s most distinctive female voices – Sally Seltmann, Sarah Blasko and Holly Throsby – together as one.
Calling themselves Seeker Lover Keeper, the trio will release their debut self-titled album on June 3 via Dew Process/UMA. Recorded over “two hot weeks” in New York, it sees Throsby, Blasko and Seltmann sharing vocal, as well as instrumental duties, and was produced by Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey), with The Dirty Three’s Jim White on drums and Shahzad Ismaily (Tom Waits, Martha Wainwright) on bass and guitar.
Seeker Lover Keeper, will embark on a national tour in July taking in all capital cities and a few regional towns along the way. They will be joined by White on drums, with New Zealand’s Tiny Ruins, Youth Group’s Toby Martin and Seagull in support. Dates below.
In the meantime, the band have posted three videos on their website as an introduction to the album. Directed by Natalie van den Dungen (Darren Hanlon, Ned Collette), the videos feature acclaimed actors – Barry Otto, John Waters and Aden Young - in a sparse theatre setting.

1 out of 3.
i had an excellent name for this group but i have forgotten it
doxylamine, diazepam, temazepam.. ?
Did anybody bother watching Otto's dance moves? Pretty fucking great!
Haha re:Powerpuff Girls. Love it!
Sumthin' about those dudes miming female vocals really annoys me.... i don't enjoy watching.
And to this day whenever I see John Waters I cannot help but think PLAYSCHOOL!
This''supergroup of bore'' should cover Lady Marmalade
Tizzle Bizzle Sizzle
And thank you, I think it was Aurthurly, for pointing me in the direction of the Living Sisters, a three piece cute lovely girly vocal supergroup trio prepared earlier. Just got the album yesterday.
Throsky, Sablo and Selmer
No Brisbane show? What kind of national tour ''taking in all capital cities'' is that?
Loved Barry Otto and John Waters' performances.
Who wants to come to the Sydney show with me?
sydney show same night as ty segall (i'm potentially the only overlapping fan aye)
reckon i'll go up to katoomba, nice place and tiny ruins is gorgeous!
''Bandwidth limit exceeded'' - and this is from their official site?
pintado - they probably aren't allowed to announce any other QLD shows until Splendour in the Grass sells out.
Well that's worst album of the year sorted.
so no Brisbane shows then...
Yeah, exactly. Thanks Splendour!
man you guys are bitches!
i thought only nick launay produced the bad seeds?
wow- I didn't hinkit could get any worse, and then I watched the film clips!
arghhhh.. it's terrifying!
why?
No Caravan Music Club show? Oakleigh not good enough for you?
