This is a live E.P. from a show at a venue called Revolt in Melbourne. Usually, I wouldn't include a live E.P., but in this case all 6 tracks are previously unreleased, so I'll let it off.
Earlier in the year, The Jane Austen Argument's Tom Dickins quit his day job in order to chase his dreams full-time. To celebrate this dramatic decision, Tom and Jen performed this one-off show under the name "Fuck Plan B". The moral of the night was that there is no time for a plan B, so don't have one. Take the risk and put yourself fully into what you want to be doing. It's advice that I wish I had the balls to take myself.
Anyway, the actual music ranges from the emotional melancholy previously seen on 'The Birthing Pyre', to the comedic 'Staying Single' which features a section in which Tom reads out messages from the crowd about their funny break-up stories, with answers like, "You left me for a midget, Nazi", and "I've never had a boyfriend, so fuck you". It's a nice change of pace, which I hope they will do more of.
Next up, The Jane Austen Argument will be recording their debut full length album, made possible thanks to donations from fans on the fund-raising website, Kickstarter.com
