Nations by the River


Nations by the River was a side project by Luke Steele Ohad Rein and the Kahn Brothers that occurred in 2003 to 2004. Nations by the River only created a single album, Holes in the Valley, before the members went back to their main bands.

Biography

Nations By The River formed during the Gelbison/The Sleepy Jackson tour of early 2003, when Luke Steele and Edo Kahn started jamming and writing songs in a car park after misplacing their van's keys. Dove Kahn soon joined in and Nations By The River was established as a side project for the three. Ohad Rein and Edo Kahn co-wrote the song "Lovers", and shortly after Ohad joined the group.
The album was recorded in three days as a stripped-back and live experience with engineer/co-producer Scott Horscroft. In the studio, Nations were joined by friends and local musicians, including Sarah Blasko and Hamish Stuart. The album, Holes in the Valley, was released 7 June 2004 on EMI/Virgin, and distributed overseas on Astralwerks. In July 2005 the album was also released in the United States on the Astralwerks label.
