Thu 7th Jun, 2007 in Local News

Melbourne rockers Ground Components have secured an OS agreement with Japanese label, P-Vine – home to a roster of killer indie acts such as Joanna Newsom, The Shins, Yo La Tengo and Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings.

P-Vine was founded in 1975 by Yasufumi Higurashi in Tokyo, Japan, the label began by specialising in the Japanese release of black-American Gospel, Blues, Soul and Doo-Wop. Later expanding to
cover a far wider range of music – everything from J-Pop to Garage Punk, and increasing their scope to the publishing arena.

The band’s signing to P-Vine comes at a great time for the Melbourne outfit – they’ve planned a September tour to Japan to coincide with the album’s Japanese release.
