Gaslight’s latest single, “Inner City Sally”, marks a welcome change from their usual politically motivated songs. It effortlessly captures the tranquillity of the suburbs and the attitude-filled life in the inner cities. The song was recorded in Gaslight’s home studio located in Burwood, Melbourne, and joyfully mixes outmoded sounds with modern touches resulting in a track that is excitingly refreshing yet perfectly nostalgic. The band’s innovative approach to music can be heard in the unique sound of the song. Ivan Beecroft, the frontman and guitarist has a love for all things vintage, and because of this, the song is etched with a signature warm sound that is authentic and distinctive. The band has put its own spin on classic rock, drawing inspiration from artists like The Who, but they’ve made it uniquely gaslight. The result is a sound that feels timeless, yet entirely fresh.
“Inner-City Sally” has long set itself apart from other musical pieces not only with its upbeat, rock-driven sounds but also with the light-hearted nature that accompanies it. The lyrics are cleverly crafted to highlight the two opposing forces inner city and suburbs, and also possess a cheeky touch that compliments the playful tone of the track. The difference in political attitude and commentary makes this song, fun and upbeat. The band Beecroft and Nikk Kourmouzis’s duo turned full-fledged band with the inclusion of drummer Mark Norton in 2024, shortly after the release of their first album. The single thrum of excitement caused by the premier of Gaslight Volume 1 has not yet settled as the band prepares to showcase “Inner City Sally”. “Inner City Sally” quickly became an audience favourite and was adopted into their setlist as an encore. The introduction of the single is set to add even more frenzy within the fandom for the group which has already established itself as a household name. Gaslight’s Burwood recording studio is one of the mainstays of the band and is deeply intertwined with the group’s identity. The area that surrounds the studio is for the ages, encapsulating breathtaking landscapes that are reminiscent of Australia’s classic bush painters. The local culture combined with the raw energy of the band makes a concoction that is unmatched in creativity.
