"With Selfie, Older has created a classic. A collection of songs that spans years of observing, feeling, daring to be individual, whilst staying focused on the here and now."

OLDER The Band
OLDER have a passion for producing biting social commentary that takes a hard swipe at modern life. Jel Legg & Julie Legg produce music that is laden with antipathy for mainstream culture and is seasoned with an alternative point of view, wrapped up in a layer of respectability. They champion the creative thinker and the under dog yapping in the wind.
Being driven by a love for high-energy alternative rock music, their productions can be both simple and cinematic while their lyrics question everything and assume nothing. As a result of never being constrained by genre their albums are accessible to a diverse audience.
The band are ambiverts living away from people in rural New Zealand, happy in their own space and never more so than in their own Studio109. When they 'go out to play' they love to hang with interesting, creative types and engage deeply. Jel & Julie don't really fit in any scene, and they quite like it that way. Together, as OLDER, their 'inner child' is alive and well and they are proud to define their own space in the world of music.

TOO OLD? NOT INTERESTED!
I’m as passionate about making music now as I was 40 years ago. That hasn’t changed. And I think that’s the bit that matters. Because you see it all the time. Brilliant musicians, far better than me, just… stop. Lose interest. Move on. And that’s fine. Nothing wrong with that. But underneath it all, it’s...Continue reading
THEY START A BIT SCRAPPY
I’m Julie, the singer in OLDER, which still makes me laugh a bit because if you’d told me years ago this is where I’d land, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. But here I’m, still doing it and still loving it! I take the lead on vocals, but if I’m honest, the real fun for...Continue reading
