OPERATOR PLEASE Founded by female lead singer Amandah Wilkinson, the recently discovered Gold Coast five piece, OPERATOR PLEASE, have kicked some incredible goals both locally and internationally.
The success of the band's debut single 'Just A Song About Ping Pong', has been a pleasant surprise, but when your single threatens to become a global phenomenon, that's when things start to get crazy. For Operator Please that time has come.
In the space of twelve months the band has not only inked a deal with EMI Australia, but has signed on with UK label (and EMI affiliate) Brille Records for the world. 'Just A Song About Ping Pong' recently became one of the most added songs at Australian radio.
With the video featured on the front page of MySpace and YouTube, over 500 000 hits were received in its first week! In August they will play UK Festivals Leeds and Reading and NME have named them one of this year's buzz bands.
On the other side of the Atlantic, international interest continues with controversial celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton, recently naming them his 'favourite new band'.
The band are currently in the studio recording their debut album, yet to be titled but planned for release later this year.
Operator Please are sure to be a huge highlight when they make their HOMEBAKE debut this year!
