Powderfinger has signed to BMG Music Publishing for Australia, New Zealand, Asia Pacific, South America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

BMG's Peter Karpin said today "Australian music has always been at the core of my ever present passion for music. It's my, and BMG Music Publishing's, privilege to be representing Powderfinger- one of Australia's greatest bands ever."

Release Date: Not long before Christmas. Actual date unknown.

Titled, "A Night On Vulture Street", Powderfinger's very first DVD will be one worth waiting for. It will contain 2 DVDs, both containing live footage. The first was a recording done at one of the LOVS Sydney shows, and the second is a very special recording of Powderfinger playing an acoustic set, again in Sydney.

Another first for Powderfinger, they will be releasing a VERY LIMITED edition of (what I gather is) the same recordings as the DVD, but in CD format. This will also be titled, 'A Night on Vulture Street'

Though no numbers have been confirmed, it has been said that Universal Australia have stated that once the LIMITED CD stock has been ordered by stores that is it, this disc will never be manufactured again.

www.soundworld.com.au are already taking pre-orders NOW for this CD set.

Both the DVD set is scheduled for release in Australia on either September 5th, however may come a week later.

CD release date unknown, however I would image it will be the same day as DVD date.

I cannot confirm this, however I can say that he is normally very well informed. Apparently it will include some performances which were taped form last year's 'Live On Vulture Street' Tours.

 Head over to the reviews section of this site for some more words on the new album.

The first single to come from Powderfinger's highly anticipated fifth album (Which we have found out will be titled 'Vulture Street), has proved that the band were serious when they said the new album was going to rock.

'On My Mind' is a rocking, sleazy, guitar driven number which is bound to get you thinking back to the 70's and 80's. But never fear the band haven't grown themselves mullets to finish the picture.

The single 'On My Mind' is available in a limited edition Digi pac, and contains three B'Sides titled, "Sweetness", "On My Mind- Demo" and 'This Song Has Gone to Hell- Demo".
