about

"KILLER!!!! These Melbourne boys have been in the analogue kitchen and dinner is ready. Damn it tastes good, perfectly seasoned with the drums and bass cooked just as they should be. Complex arrangements: psychedelic, uncompromising and rugged. Left me hungry for more" - Miles Cleret (Soundway Records)

"Wonderful! Another triumph." - Bradley Zero (Rhythm Section)

"What is going on with the College Of Knowledge lot? They're so good! It's like the best crew of musicians in the world." - Tom Ravenscroft (BBC6 Music)

Formed in 2014 as a side-project to iconic Melbourne soul band Saskwatch under the name ‘The Let Your Hair Down Girls’, the group served as a vehicle for the instrumental impulses of the band’s rhythm and horn sections. In the ensuing years, the group held down a reputation as Melbourne’s ‘pub soul’ staple, brazenly introducing psych funk, cinematic soul and boogaloo sounds to the beer-drenched haunts that prop up Melbourne’s rock ‘n’ roll scene.

After a hiatus born from the touring commitments of the increasingly in-demand players within the group, the project was was revived with the addition of fellow travellers Hudson Whitlock (Karate Boogaloo) and Lachlan Stuckey (Surprise Chef), and a full-length LP of the band’s percussive instrumental soul committed to tape over a weekend in Karate Boogaloo’s infamous attic studio.

Produced by Henry Jenkins (Karate Boogaloo, Mo’Ju), the production mind behind all College Of Knowledge recordings, Waiting Room moves deftly through moments of fuzzed-out psychedelia, dusty deep soul backbeat and incendiary minor key funk.
