This brand new soundtrack – volume 3 in the series – follows countless enquiries at Whammo. Secret Life of Us fans are wonderfully obsessed with the gripping tele-drama that follows the lives of a young group of friends in Melbourne’s inner city. It would be difficult to find more loyal fans of any tv show and it’s not surprising when you look at the quality Australian artists the series is able to attract, many recording exclusively for this release. Abby Dobson (Leonardos Bride / paulmac), Pinky Beecroft (Machine Gun Fellatio), The Calculators with Adalita (Magic Dirt), Lazy Susan, The Tulips (Caroline Kennedy, formerly of The Plums and Deadstar), Origene and Dean Manning (Leonardos Bride) have all recorded unique tracks for this album and Eskimo Joe, Kylie Minogue and Waikiki add ‘non-album’ tracks to the mix. As The Secret Life Of Us goes from strength to strength, the soundtrack’s quality matches the snowballing popularity of Australia’s favourite weekly treat.
