"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.

It’s a bit surreal about looking back and realising just how much time has passed without you really noticing it happening. Nearly ten years ago, we filmed a little video called At Home With OLDER. At the time, we were sitting there talking about songs we were writing for what would become our first album...Continue reading
OLD BASS, LOUD MEMORIES
There’s something about old gear that sneaks up on you. You don’t think about it for years, then one day you’re standing there wondering what’s the oldest bit of musical kit I still own? For me, it turns out to be this bass. It’s a 1980s Japanese bass guitar, nothing fancy, nothing rare. In fact,...Continue reading
