Domestic La La is an Australian record label founded in 2017 by Violent Soho guitarist James Tidswell. It is a subsidiary of Unified Music Group, headquartered in Brisbane. Prominent artists include Dear Seattle, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, Teenage Joans and West Thebarton.

History

edit

Named after a Violent Soho song, Domestic La La was founded in 2017 by the band's guitarist James Tidswell. The label is managed under Unified Music Group.[1] Its first two signings were Adelaide rock band West Thebarton and Sydney grunge group Dear Seattle.[2] Tidswell said managing his own imprint had been a life-long dream and that his approach was to "allow bands to be on a label with someone who is sympathising with the artist themselves".[3]

Record club

edit

The label has released ten seven-inch singles through their own subscription service, Domestic La La Record Club. Each issue features two tracks from different groups, with the first featuring "Ivan" by West Thebarton's backed with "Dark Shadows" by Stork.[4]

Background

edit

In early 2023, Spacey Jane frontman Caleb Harper relocated to Los Angeles for recording and writing sessions that would inform their third album. He said to NME that the band would be more deliberate in finding time for writing the project, and that they would "try and ease into it a little more" than they did for their prior album, Here Comes Everybody (2022).[10]

In late 2023, Spacey Jane headlined several Australian festivals along the east coast, including Grapevine Gathering,[11] Rolling Sets (Central Coast),[12] and Changing Tides (Kiama).[13]
