One of Sydney’s most gifted and exceptional songwriters, nominated by the NFSA - National Film and Sound Archive of Australia as a “Priority Heritage Artist”, Louis Tillett provided a distinctive and influential presence on the Australian underground music scene throughout the late 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s, leading groups like Wet Taxis, Paris Green and the Aspersion Caste. His impressive career has seen him be invited to collaborate with Leonard Cohen and Brian Eno, he has worked with Charlie Owen, Ed Kuepper, Tex Perkins, Don Walker and Brett Myers. Nick Cave called him “a pioneer that has been an inspiration to many of us”.

 What is "Torched Songs" about? Following the apartment fire in October 2018, still an unresolved case of Arson, Louis has been steadily recovering and restoring himself and his music. He has re-released The Ugly Truth on Vinyl, and now the classic Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell on CD. However, he did lose the majority of his CD and Vinyl stock in this fire...and has been planning to do a tour, and possibly an album, with Torched Songs in the title...as a reference to his burned music. And the time is nigh.
In 2020, he performed two nights at the Premier Jazz Club - The Camelot Lounge - just as severe Covid restrictions came into place. Since then he has awaited the opportunity to perform for those who couldn't make it to those nights, due to Health concerns. On November 22, 2020 Louis was invited to play an Impromptu performance at this same venue, as part of the "Great Southern Nights" ARIA Initiative, to boost Live Music attendance in Australia. The Camelot Lounge have been practicing Covid Safe Protocols and have once again invited Louis to return, in January 2021. See the poster attached for details.

Louis Tillett has decided to REISSUE the album that shook up the Underground Music world so many years ago. The title of the Album even became a part of the Vernacular from its inception. And in case you are wondering...it was indeed Louis who coined the phrase. The expression "Ego Tripping at The Gates of Hell" has been "borrowed" for everything from TV Episode names, Podcasts, and even sampled in other Underground Music. The Flaming Lips paid homage to Louis, naming their US Number One Album "Ego Tripping at The Gates of Hell", after having used it as a song title on their previous album. (And YES, we have confirmation that Warren is a genuine fan of Louis' music!) Louis has teamed up with WOW Music to release Ego Tripping at The Gates of Hell on CD, with updated liner notes and improved Graphics. We would like to acknowledge not only WOW MUSIC for their incredible work, but also ART AND SOUL, for their Graphic Design prowess in taking the original Hand-Painted Artwork and painstakingly restoring and updating it. So it looks better than the original! You can find AUTOGRAPHED copies, unsigned copies, and related Merchandise at the link below. Just hit the BUY NOW button and we'll take you there!
