In mid-2002, some lads hailing from Sydney’s Northern beaches began recording tracks at bigjesusburger studios in Surry Hills. The studio – built by Chris Townend, had recently become the studio of choice for the likes of Augie March, Darren Hanlon, Paul Greene and even Portishead. The tracks recorded in late 2002, produced by Townend, would eventually be released as peregrine’s debut album, “one big happy heart attack.” The album consisted of 11 songs that singer-songwriter Brett Winterford and his band had been performing in Sydney and surrounds over several years – in which peregrine amassed some 300 gigs. The album would receive immediate critical acclaim as an independent release, with a sell-out launch at the Gaelic Club, rotation on such radio stations as Triple J, FBi and Bay FM, and finally a distribution and publishing deal with Shock Records. The past few months has seen the band break from its two-year residency at the Excelsior of Glebe to take the album on the road with several trips up and down Australia’s eastern seaboard. The band’s latest tour saw them perform in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Newcastle, Wollongong, Geelong, Wagga, Byron Bay and even small regional areas such as Murwillumbah, Nowra and Tathra. The year also saw the band’s single “Fingerpointing” featured on Triple J’s “Home and Hosed: First Harvest” compilation.“Heart Attack hums with life, both sprightly and seductive.”
