Seeker Lover Keeper was an Australian indie rock music supergroup formed by Sarah Blasko, Sally Seltmann and Holly Throsby in August 2010. The trio each have separate solo careers as singer-songwriters. The group's first album, which was self-titled, was released on 3 June 2011 through Dew Process/UMA.
On 12 June 2011, the album debuted at No. 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart. The album was a surprise success, peaking higher than any former release from Blasko, Seltmann or Throsby. According to The Official ARIA Charts, the album has since been certified gold for shipment of over 35,000 copies. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2011, Seeker Lover Keeper was nominated for 'Best Adult Alternative Album'.
Seeker Lover Keeper also scored two songs in Triple J Hottest 100 of 2011. "Light All My Lights" came in at #86 and "Even Though I'm A Woman" came in at #17.
In August 2010, Seeker Lover Keeper was formed by Australian solo artists Sarah Blasko, Sally Seltmann and Holly Throsby. Each has a separate solo career as a singer-songwriter. They recorded material in New York and issued the self-titled album on 3 June 2011, which peaked at number three on the ARIA Albums Chart. The group issued three singles, each with an accompanying music video, that featured each individual as the lead singer, "Light All My Lights" (Blasko), "Even Though I'm a Woman" (Throsby) and "On My Own" (Seltmann). The video for "Light All My Lights" starred Australian actor Barry Otto.
Seeker Lover Keeper undertook two major tours in support of the album. The first was undertaken across July and August 2011; and featured Dirty Three's Jim White on drums and David Symes (now of Boy & Bear) on bass. Support on the tour came from Youth Group's Toby Martin. The second tour was from late November into early December, primarily undertaken in churches and cathedrals as a part of the Heavenly Sounds tour. Although Symes returned for this tour, White was replaced by drummer and percussionist Bree van Reyk; Throsby's then-partner who also co-wrote the Seeker Lover Keeper song "Rely On Me." The tour concluded with an appearance at the Homebake music festival in Sydney.
