History

Signing to Boomtown

Following their formation in 2004, Angelas Dish were quick to find a label, only one year later they signed to Boomtown Records for the release of their debut EP, "Lie Die". The EP received a positive reception and led to a follow up in 2006 entitled "My Body Is An Ashtray". During the release and promotion of these two EPs, the band toured with better known Australian bands, such as Gyroscope, Something With Numbers, After the Fall, Kisschasy and The Butterfly Effect. As well as supporting popular international acts such as Jimmy Eat World, 30 Seconds to Mars, Anberlin and Copeland. On top of this, Angelas Dish managed to squeeze in four headline tours, all in their four year existence.

Moving to BNM

After the release of "My Body Is An Ashtray", Angelas Dish made the decision to move from Boomtown Records to BNM Records, along with Sony BMG distribution, to record their first full-length studio album. On 27 October 2007, Angelas Dish released an EP titled "Soft November", which featured the lead single off their upcoming album, "Soft November". The EP featured two other songs "Wear What You Wear" and "The Blind Girl", as well as the music video for the title track and behind the scenes footage of the music video.cite web|url=http://www.angelasdish.com/releases.html| title= Angelas Dish Releases|accessdate=2008-05-27] The "Soft November" video clip was directed by Tim Stobart, who has formerly worked with INXS, and was produced by iCandy Productions. The use of "groundbreaking" technology gave Angelas Dish the edge for their first video clip, which "features a secret underwater location using world first high definition technology". The video also featured a cameo appearance by dwarfed belly dancer Rima,cite web|url=http://www.newcastlemusic.com/artists.php?ID=3029|title=Recent Myspace Blog Posts From Angela's Dish|publisher=Newcastle Music.com|accessdate=2008-05-27] who later found her 15 minutes of fame on Big Brother Australia 2008, after breaking her legcite web|url=http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,26278,23643104-5016681,00.html|title=Big Brother's Rima breaks leg|accessdate=2008-05-27] and having pornographic photos revealed of her outside of the Big Brother house.cite web|url=http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,26278,23619791-5013560,00.html|title=BB Rima's rep threatens legal action over nude photos|publisher=News.com.au|accessdate=2008-05-27]
