Every man needs a shed. When Colin Lillie and Dave Crowe from Alice Springs decided to form a songwriting group, in their shed, they had no idea it would lead to the full-blown rock outfit Shadows on Blue. Drawing on sounds from the Manchester scene and modern indie/folk, Shadows on Blue brings a different kind of rock from the red centre and sees two worlds collide with Colin’s Scottish origins and Dave’s Aussie heritage.

The two got together to work on Lillie's acoustic songs in Crowe's Alice Springs shed/studio. Weirdly, on this day, a rare weather pattern created a rainbow around the sun, known as the 'sun's halo'. With this in mind, they grabbed an electric guitar and a vintage synth and soon discovered a synergy and a sound. They realised how easy it was to work together, and pumped out the first single. 'Hold on' is a story of optimism and friendship, and a sense of belonging - in essence, their feelings towards Alice Springs and the Northern Territory. There is an undeniable magic as Lillie's heart-on-his-sleeve vocal combines with Crowe's sonic wizardry in the studio. The song was mixed in Alice Springs and finished off in New York by Greg Calbi. They are currently finishing their EP.
