Tracks
1. Moon Dear
2. River Hymnal (Guerre)
3. Chain Gang
4. Photo Finnish 2
5. TLC
6. Assalot Highway
7. Who Sez (Selena Gomez)
The digital-only mix-tape is being released for free through the bands website and features a swagger of originals and some mash ups (Hello? Selena Gomez could you please stand up!), as well as a video of the duo performing on a row boat, floating down the iconic River Thames in England. Say what?
2011 marks an exciting year for long-term musical amigos Russell and Doug. The two embarked on a global journey that saw them visit the grand old US of A as well as Europe and South America.
While traveling together the two had plenty of fanciful adventures including playing exclusive parties in London and Brighton, and a day long row boat ride down the historic River Thames, MPCs and a picnic basket on tow.
When asked what inspiration behind the boat ride was Doug quips
“Russ can be a bit of an action man so when he told me he wanted to take me on a boat ride down the Thames, I figured he meant a speed boat or some such thing.”
Russell is known for his practical jokes and when asked about this deception provided this explanation:
“I’d agreed to do a live video with our MPCs plugged straight into a video camera! I knew Doug would be scared by that, so I had to lie to him. Luckily we had a really nice time together” Russell said.
Touché!, Russ, touché!
Following the release of Hookz 4, Fishing will hit the road with American beat-wizard Baths, as well as Australian favourites Richard in Your Mind, after which they’ll shy away to record their keenly anticipated debut album.
The Hookz 4: Lophiiforme mixtape is now available for free download from the band’s website www.fishingsounds.com/hookz

Fishing Release Hookz 3: Maccullochella Peelii
Fishing have delved deeper in to the pond and come back up with their finest collection yet – Hookz 3 Maccullochella Peelii.
The digital-only mix tape is being released for free through the band’s website and contains something a little different this time. Last month Fishing presented a whopping 18 tracks but this time they have come forth with a video clip and companion mp3, a ghetto rap, a world class remix and some stems for those feeling a little creative.
The Maccullochella Peelii, or Murray Cod as it is better know, is an important and charismatic part of Australia’s vertebrate wildlife and Doug Wright of Fishing thought it a fitting title for Hookz 3.
“I’ve never seen a Murray Cod in the flesh so that fact alone makes this particular fish a bit mysterious to me. I imagine Murray to be a really fun guy to hang out with – until he eats you. Maccullochella Peelii is a carnivore if you didn’t know.
Dougs musical spouse Russell disagrees
“I’m not sure why Doug said that. He knows I just like the name Murray. I wish he would listen when I talk to him.”Despite their differences, Fishing are proud to offer their fans something new and beautiful. A video and accompanying mp3, a ghetto-party rap, a Jonathan Boulet remix and the stems to their song “Brown Legs” for people to cut up and get creative with.
The mixtape is available to download now from the band’s website – www.fishingsounds.com/hookz
Fishing are also currently in the US and UK where they will be playing a small number of shows. Watch their website for more information as it is announced.
