It’s 8:15. Your date is here.

Well, there are four of them, really. THE HANDSOME CHARLIES. They’ve come all the way from Sydney to take you out for a well deserved night of romantic fun. The Charlies will turn all of your sono-erotic zones firmly to ON with mod-rock melodic confections for your ears, ballads for your heartstrings, and dance numbers for that cute booty of yours, the one that you’ve been just aching to shake.

[Readers please note, the above represents solely the views and opinions of The Handsome Charlies. i eat would be uncomfortable commenting on your booty; however, we will attest to the absolute demand for some serious booty shaking on our part.]

Touting charming Aussie brogues, fine-spun looks, and a highpowered stage presence, the Charlies have flirted their way into the collective heart of Austin, TX, with a seductive blend of intelligence (think RADIOHEAD), humor (think WEEN), and sex (think WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT).

i eat records is pleased to present our fourth release, The Handsome Charlies’ eagerly awaited, debut full-length, Gentlemen Never Tell.

  “The accents are real. Hailing from Australia, The Handsome Charlies bring a little trans-global flavor to their brand of mod indie rock. The band describes their music as happy brit-pop. Dressed sharply, these Charlies live up to their name."
- Melissa Johnson, San Marcos Daily Record

“Their musicianship and stage presence were impeccable; their show very quickly became one of my favorites of the year so far. The future indeed looks bright for the Handsome Charlies.”
- Victor Hell, Whoopsy!

“Crediting a vast assortment of musical influences that includes the Happy Mondays, Radiohead and Prokofiev, the Handsome Charlies play a uniquely visceral mashup of fiesty pop/rock ballads. We should also mention that they’re from Sydney, and yes, they have the hot accents to prove it.”
- Allen Y Chen, Austinist.com

“We’re just suckers for catchy, hooky smart pop-rock ... and then you add horns? Let’s just say, we’re happy to do your bidding. So, Handsome Charlies, start ordering us around. “
- Joe Gross, Austin American-Statesman

“One of the few bands in Austin that are definitely a ‘must see.’ Simultaneously cutting edge and vintage, familiar sonic territory and unchartered melodies, they’ve won a loyal and loving audience over the past half year that bands who’ve been around far longer would be jealous of.”
- Simon Arthwaite, Rank and Revue
