DEBUTS AT #1
ON THE ARIA ALBUM CHART
May 25, 2020
Ivy League Records are extremely elated to announce that Live At The Forum, the incredible new live album from The Teskey Brothers, has debuted at #1 on the ARIA Album Chart!
LIVE AT THE FORUM – ARIA CHART DEBUTS:
#1 ARIA Album Chart
#1 ARIA Australian Album Chart
#1 ARIA Vinyl Album Chart
#1 ARIA Digital Album Chart
In a time where gigs and tours have been put on hold indefinitely, the live album – featuring songs from the band’s two critically acclaimed albums, Run Home Slow(2019) and Half Mile Harvest (2017), as well as a special cover of John Lennon’s ‘Jealous Guy’, is the first live album to go number 1 by an Australian band since 1992’s AC/DC Live.
“We are completely gobsmacked to reach the number one spot. I guess it just goes to show how much everyone misses attending gigs right now!” – Josh Teskey
In the tradition of some of history’s greatest live records (James Brown, Woodstock, Donny Hathaway, The Who), the band undertook the arduous task of recording to analogue tape, during their sold-out four-night stand at the beloved Melbourne venue last November.
Accompanying the live album has been the band’s ‘Stay Home Slow’ virtual tour – where in lieu of live shows, the band released a series of live videos from The Forum and a behind-the-scenes documentary of the live album recording experience.
The 16-minute video includes performances from the night, musings from the band members and a glimpse into the ambitious (and triumphant!) recording process.

The band also performed a stunning set for The State Of Music, which you can watch back here.
Alongside the CD & digital release, the live album is available on 180g double-blue gatefold vinyl. A limited version (with a different front cover) is also available exclusively to indie record stores.
In further great news, the band’s track ‘So Caught Up’ took out first place in the International Song-writing Competition in the AAA (Adult Album Alternative) category and they have been nominated for three APRA Awards – including Breakthrough Songwriter Of The Year, Most Performed Blues & Roots Work and Song Of The Year (for ‘I Get Up’). The ceremony will be streamed live on May 26.
Congratulations, The Teskey Brothers!
