Models Uncover Unreleased James Freud Song ‘Dead Elvis’

Models have turned up a previously unreleased song titled ‘Dead Elvis’ and we will all hear it soon streaming to the world.

Models keyboard player Andrew Duffield tells Noise11.com, “It is the last recording that Sean (Kelly), James (Freud), Barton (Price) and I did together in about 93/94. It’s a song called ‘Dead Elvis’ that Sean wrote. To get people to come to the gigs we are going to put it up online as a bit of a freebie I think”.

Models were inactive at the time. The song was recorded nearly a decade before the reunions seriously got underway in 2000.

Andrew says the session was, “an informal one. We did it at Metropolis, the classic studio in South Melbourne. I moved into doing commercials after Models. In fact, for a short period of time James Freud was working for Les Gock’s (Hush) company. We all got together and did a few recordings and I turned one up the other day. We thought, let’s put it up online and see what people thing. But the reunion shows didn’t start until around 2000”.
