The Morning After Girls are an Australian neo-psychedelia band. The group was originally formed in Melbourne, Victoria around 2003 by founding members Sacha Lucashenko (vocals and guitar) and Martin B. Sleeman (vocals and guitar), who relocated the group to New York City in 2008. Its American lineup includes Alexander White (keyboards, percussion, backing vocals), EJ Hagen (bass guitar), and John Brodeur (drums). They have since returned to Australia and are now based in Melbourne to complete their third album in 2015.
The group has released two EPs, the first on Rubber Records in 2003 and the second on Fly Music in early 2005, both of which are self-titled. On 20 September 2005, the band released its two EPs as one CD in North America entitled The Morning After Girls: Prelude EPs 1 & 2. This album was also released as Shadows Evolve on 17 November 2005 in Australia and 16 June 2005 in the UK through the London independent label Best Before Records. Mark Gardener of Ride contributed vocals to the track "Fall Before Waking".
The band has toured with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Dandy Warhols, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Keys, and The Warlocks. Festival appearances have included slots at the Reading Festival, Leeds Festival, T in the Park, and Oxegen Festival—2006, Homebake in 2003, 2004, and 2005, and Clean Air, Clear Stars in 2009.
After taking time to record a new album in Australia with engineer and producer Robbie Rowlands they headed to London for final mixing with producer Alan Moulder. The band released "The General Public" maxi single exclusively through iTunes worldwide (except Australia and New Zealand). The full-length album Alone followed on 7 July 2009 (digital only through iTunes in North America). Tee Pee Records released a limited edition white vinyl 7" including the songs "The General Public" and "Who Is They". Following this, the band toured the US in the summer of 2009 with The Warlocks.
