Get Out, Give In
Encyclopedia
"Get Out, Give In" is the debut single
from Sydney
band Expatriate
. It was only sold at their early live gigs making it a really rare item. At the time the line-up of the band was Ben King on vocals and guitar, Damien Press on keyboards, guitar and backing vocals, Chris Kollias on drums and Tim Rogers (who then left the band and went on a solo career under the name Jack Ladder to avoid confusion with Tim Rogers
lead vocalist of You Am I
) on bass.
The version of "Get Out, Give In" is exactly the same as the one featured on the Lovers le Strange EP. The version of "The Spaces Between" was also very similar to the Lovers le Strange version, however the version featured on the single did not feature backing vocals. Both tracks were also re-recorded for their debut album In the Midst of This
. The version of "Killer Kat" however is very different from the EP version - it is much slower and rougher. The demos of "Blackbird" (then called "Black Bird") and "Sleazy" were recorded in a similar fashion. "Blackbird" has since been re-recorded for In the Midst of This, however no other version of "Sleazy" has been released to date.
. The track was eventually picked up by Triple J
. Then radio stations picked up the second single "The Spaces Between" which was eventually used to promote their first commercially released EP, Lovers le Strange.
