"Look Up"
Look Up was decided to be the 2nd single from Toni Collette and the Finish's highly successful Independent album Beautiful Awkard Pictures. It was decided to be the 2nd single as of the possitive critical reaction and the reception it got at the sold out 2006 tour Toni Collette and The Finish around New South Wales.
The accompanying video was filmed in Sydney by the very talented Paul Goldman and Alice Bell (the partnership behind the award winning movie Suburban Mayhem) and since release in mid January has been on high rotation on most video outlets introducing more people to the band's emotive, heady and soul-stirring music.
The single features two live tracks from Toni Collettes MAX Session which comes as a treat to fans.
The single is in limited release, and it sold in ARIA participating outlets and at Toni collettes tour merchandise stand.
