Biography:
The Lucksmiths were an influential indie pop band formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1993. The members are Martin Donald (Guitar), Taliesyn 'Tali' White (Vocals, Drums), and Mark Monnone (Bass) and in 2004 they acquired Mid State Orange's guitarist Louis Richter on second guitar. Whilst originating from beach-side Melbourne, the original three members of The Lucksmiths moved to inner Melbourne and fell in love with its charms. The songs Under the Rotunda, The Cassingle Revival and Tmrw Vs Y'Day all demonstrate as much.

Lucksmiths – Ficiton (from Warmer Corners.)
Written down here, gentle reader
G
It seems too good to be true
C
But there’s a girl in Kansas City
G
With my favourite tattoo
Am C G
Oh why would I lie to you?
C
This was in another century
G
Somewhere near the summer’s end
C
The fahrenheit was frightening
G
I was awake the whole weekend
C
Invited to a barbecue
G
I found refuge in the kitchen
C
Discussing post-war US literature
G
With a girl whose upper arm read “fiction”
Am C G
Like it might have been typewritten
C G – C G
C
When I asked her its significance
G
She said she sometimes took reminding
C
What she wanted to be doing
G
Whether reading it or writing
C
I admitted admiration
G
For both typeface and intent
C
And said more softly — sotto voce —
G
I knew too well what she meant
Am C G
She just smiled and in a while she went
Dm Am G
For a time I forgot this ever took place
C
She left her bottle on the bookcase
G – C G – C G – C G – C G – C G
C
So though I leave you little option
G
But to take me at my word
C
I assure you, dearest listener
G
That it happened as you’ve heard
C
A beer left on a bookshelf
G
At a bygone barbecue
C
By a girl from Kansas City
G
With my favourite tattoo
Am C G
Oh why would I lie to you?
Am C G
Oh why would I lie to you?
Am C G
Oh why would I lie?
