Midnight Oil’s Peter Garrett writing songs for first time in a decade – new Midnight Oil in the making?
Midnight Oil frontman and former Labour minister Peter Garrett has announced he has started writing songs for the first time in at least a decade. All happened while writing his recently published memoir, “Big Blue Sky”: “I’d get to four or five in the afternoon and try and get the words done in the day and felt the guitar sort of calling me.”
Garrett is also considering recording the songs, but if that means the start of new Midnight Oil activities remains to be seen.
The last album Midnight Oil recorded as a band was “Capricornia” which was released in 2002 under the Sony Music label in Australia, and the Liquid 8 record label internationally.

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
