Fallen Angels Album Launch - August 09
The ‘Afternoon Tea Party’ album launch (complete with free cupcakes!) drew an audience of over 100 on a rainy, wintery afternoon at the Northcote Social Club. Sales of the CD were brisk and the crowd enjoyed supports by Nervous Doll Dancing and James Macdonald, before Leticia’s polished full band set. During the launch lead-up, Leticia was interviewed on Triple R, PBS, 3CR and other community stations, as well as featuring in street press and suburban newspapers. Pictures below...
Touring Adelaide - September 09
A successful Adelaide tour and launch took place in September with interviews on Radio Adelaide and Three D Radio, articles in mainstream and street press and two shows - one pub gig with a band featuring local musicians and the other in a more intimate café setting as a duo/trio. The show at this venue was such a success that Leticia is hosting her two Adelaide Fringe 2010 performances there.
More Touring in 2010
Plans are afoot to launch the album in Sydney and Brisbane, with other shows in regional areas around Australia.

Time to leave it to others to do the talking...
“Coburg's Audrey Studios (ARIA award winner Craig Pilkington) has played host to many of Melbourne's finest musicians over the years, with The Blackeyed Susans, Mick Thomas and The Lucksmiths all crafting their pop wonders under its roof. Now you can add Leticia Maher to the hallowed list.” Rip It Up Magazine, Adelaide, 24 Sept 2009
“The production on this album is exemplary... Leticia is able to
convincingly deliver an album that draws you in. The more you listen to
Fallen Angels, the more you discover... there’s a certain confidence
that comes through with her vocal delivery - which comes from a place
of self belief and inner awareness... I anticipate great things to come”The Dwarf Fallen Angels Album Review by Kostaki, 30
