theaussieword.com catches up with the very talented Client Liaison for special blog interview!
What can you tell our readers about you? How and where did it all begin?
HARVEY MILLER AO: Given our shared appreciation for story telling and dignified belief in the Australian identity, we naturally found ourselves writing music together at a young age. Having both attended Melbourne’s ‘Glamorgan Primary School’ – It was here that we met and formed the early foundations of the Client Liaison sentiment. Fast-forward to 2013, and we’ve begun to dedicate more of our time and effort into lobbying politicians to perform favours for us. State and federal, rezoning land for development, opening and closing certain taxation loop holes to our liking.
MONTE MORGAN: These long lunches in Canberra and late night parties amongst the diplomatic cocktail circuit have taken their toll however. We have a few more loose ends to tie up before we head back to the studio to finish our album. Till then keep your eye out for a ‘’Client Liaison developed high rise’’… coming to a town near you!What had you first interested in music?
HARVEY: Music television – Rage, Video hits, red, Channel [v], Music Max, MTV, VH1
Who motivates or influences your quest to make great music?

The shape of the music industry has changed significantly over the years, including the use of social media, how do you feel about the industry as a whole and what does it mean to you in getting your records out into the public eye?
