The Goodbye Girl, released on 8 March 2004 through Flugelhorn Records, was the record that put Ballarat's Epicure on national youth radio. The band had started out in 1996 under the name Pima's Little Finger, and by now they'd grown into a moody, progressive-leaning rock outfit with an ear for a big, brooding chorus.
"Armies Against Me" and "Life Sentence" did the heavy lifting: triple j picked both up and its listeners voted them into the Hottest 100 before the album was even in the shops. Around the same time the band opened for Live on their Australian tour late in 2003 and played the Big Day Out in January 2004. The album itself only scraped into the ARIA albums chart at No. 88, but it did better on the Hitseekers list, reaching No. 5, and it sits between Airmail and the later Main Street in their story.
