The Triangles are an indie pop band from Melbourne, Australia. Eleanor Horsburgh, Julie Conway, Katherine Simpson (née James), Matt Gormann and Robert Simpson met as school friends in Boronia, a suburb of Melbourne. They began playing together in 2003 and collaborated on writing songs that mixed elements of rock, psych-pop and folk. They performed in local venues and self-released two song collections before signing with local label Half a Cow Records. Through Half a Cow they released the CDs ''Magic Johnson'' (2005) and ''Seventy-Five Year Plan'' (2007). ''Magic Johnson'' spawned the regional hit singles "Applejack" and "Let’s Replace the Cityscapes." The Triangles ostensibly split after the release of their second CD when several members left Australia. The band reformed early in 2010 when they were approached to perform "Applejack" in a Spanish TV commercial for Estrella Damm. Consequently the tune became a hit single in Spain during the summer of 2010, reaching No. 1 on the Spanish iTunes singles chart,〔("Melbourne’s The Triangles Hit No.1 In Spain," MessAndNoise.com )〕 as well as spending 14 weeks on the CD singles chart, peaking at No. 8.〔(The Triangles "Applejack" - Spain Top 50 Singles chart performance at ACharts.us )〕 The commercial has been viewed on YouTube over five million times as of July 2013,〔(The Estrella Damm channel on YouTube )〕 and led to the posting of numerous home-grown "Applejack" music videos by Spanish fans.〔(The Triangles official website, 26 June 2010 posting (archived) )〕 An album of previously released Triangles songs was released in July 2010 by Universal Music Spain.〔(“The Triangles” CD at Amazon.es )〕 "Applejack" was also featured in a 2010 TV advert for Jetstar Airways,〔(Jetstar Airways "Low Fares Are Just Part of the Story" ) on YouTube〕 and in 2013 for the LG G2 smartphone ad in Europe and the U.S.〔(LG G2 "Learning From You" ) on YouTube〕〔(WhatSongIsInThatCommercial.com )〕〔(TVAdMusic.co.uk )〕 The Triangles reactivated in late 2010 with new music in the form of an EP entitled ''The Night Lunch'', released independently in 2011.〔(The Triangles official website, 13 June 2011 posting (archived) )〕 On November 19, 2013, World of Rock Records announced the release of "Applejack" as a limited edition, yellow seven-inch vinyl single, with "Let's Replace The Cityscapes" serving as the B-side. It is scheduled to be released in 2014.〔http://worldofrockrecords.bigcartel.com/product/the-triangles-applejack-limited-edition-7-vinyl〕 A commercial for the single was released by World of Rock Records on December 19, 2013.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcc7K7TQorU〕 ==Members== *Julie Conway - keyboards, accordion *Matt Gormann - guitars, vocals, ukulele, banjo, harmonica *Eleanor Horsburgh - vocals, drums, percussion, melodica, glockenspiel *Katherine Simpson - bass guitar, vocals, recorder, ukuleue, kazoo *Robert Simpson – drums, guitars, synthesizer 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Triangles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
