sleepy township

sleepy township was an indie pop band which was formed in perth in 1994 as a side project by guy blackman -lrb- guitar , electric organ , vocals -rrb- , mia schoen -lrb- ex-molasses -rrb- -lrb- guitar , electric organ , vocals -rrb- , and paul williams -lrb- drums , vocals -rrb- .

the group released two full-length albums , `` set sail '' in 1998 and `` deep water '' in 2001 , together with several eps , for australian indie label chapter music among others .
the group broke up in march 2002 , although they reformed six months later for a single performance to release , `` all these records '' , a compilation album , consisting of the band 's singles and rarities .
as bolger was away overseas , bass duties were performed by mindy mapp , -lrb- ex-little ugly girls and flesh vs. venom -rrb- .
the group reformed briefly in 2009 for two shows .
since breaking up in 2002 , all members have been active as writers and performers in other groups that either co-existed during sleepy township 's lifetime or were formed shortly after their demise .
