THE LIVING END are still locked away safe in a Melbourne studio, hard at work on tracks for their brand new record. Fantastic news, as the band have been working on demos and look to record sometime in the coming months. Chris took some time out from he studio to attend the launch of MTV's new channel MTV Classic last week. He even stepped up to the stage to present the final performance of the evening; Guns'n'Roses own Slash playing firing up for classic Paradise City. After scooping up the illustrious APRA Song of the Year Award for White Noise in 2009, it seems the accolades just keep coming in for The Living End's monster rock track. Last week White Noise took out the rock category in the 2009 International Songwriting Competition. Fellow Aussie Sarah Blasko took out the folk category. Click here for a full list of winners. Some news that TLE fans will no doubt be very happy to hear is that The Living End will be doing a special one-off performance come June. The Community Cup is something of a Melbourne institution, with the celebrity football match annually supporting the Reclink charity. Reclink raises money to provide sporting and musical opportunities to disadvantaged folks, and to help the cause The Living End will fire up for a special half-time set. The theme of this years' match is The Clash, so get down to the match and you may just hear TLE play a couple of sneaky covers.
