Deep Sea Arcade - Lonely In Your Arms

Led by vocalist Nic McKenzie and bassist Nick Weaver, Deep Sea Arcade combine their love of ‘60s beat, surf and
psychedelic pop with 80’s new wave, and 90’s indie. A recent signing to Ivy League Records in Australia, and eminent
management company Winterman & Goldstein who between them have helped launch the best of Australia’s musical
imports including, Jet, The Vines, Empire Of The Sun, Cloud Control and Youth Group.

McKenzie, the son of an Australian foreign correspondent and the grandson of a senior MI6 officer (yes, a real life ‘60s
era James Bond) spent his childhood and adolescent years in London where he became engrossed in the world of Brit
pop and trip hop. Both styles had a lasting effect. After relocating back to Sydney, McKenzie re-united with a teenage
Weaver at high school. They instantly bonded over shared influences, penned dozens of songs and then experimented
with every sort of sound in their bedroom DIY studio for several years before finding their perfect counterparts in
drummer Carlos Adura and guitarists Simon Relf and Tim Chamberlain.

The band’s debut UK release ‘Lonely In Your Arms’ will be available on limited 7" on 30th May through New Music
Club and is already hitting UK radio waves via Zane Lowe on Radio 1. The track mixed by Dan Grech-Marguerat (The
Vaccines, Sound Of Arrows, Penguin Prison) conjures pure ’60s girl-group emotion with trebly surf-rock guitars and
harmony heavy vocals to match.
