Here are some reviews for the socialite from it's australian release:
"THE
broad church of pop is really the only catch-all that comes close to
encompassing the music of local boy made good Andy Kelly. Calling
himself Andy Clockwise, and based full time in LA where he is packing
houses, Clockwise displays a dazzling maturity on his second album that
makes him sound like a superstar you just haven't heard yet."
The Australian, 2010, 4 stars
"clockwise
pours everything into his well-honed, life affirming songs and leaves
no stone unturned in his search for musical nirvana"
Rolling Stone, 2010, 3 1/2 stars
"some guys realy know how to make an entrance"
who weekly magazine, 2010, 4 stars
"a man with the ideas and the energy to put them all into action"
the sydney morning herald, 2010, 3 1/2 stars
there will also be some special guests:
marvelous toy
silent comedy
brother wolves
we hope to see you all there!!!!!!

"Clockwise's songs possess a formidable observational bite!" LA Times
“Coming
away as much impressed by the fellow’s playful Aussie Iggyisms as much
as the stylistic range of his songs or the bite of their satire.
Bug-eyed and bearded, the man called Clockwise stalked the tiny space
like mad Nero, laying down strophes of punk, pop, and wonky soul that
sound like nothing you’ve ever really heard out of those or any other
genre. Music as fresh and original as this is what starts the wheels of
cult bandwagons turning and Clockwise tears through his own material
with the righteous force of one of those Ideas Whose Time has Come you
used to hear so much about”
Ron Garmon, LA Record
“While
it’s easy to identify his genial baritone voice with roguish lyrical
masters like Jonathan Richman, Stephin Merritt and post-modern maestro
Beck, Clockwise reveals his uniqueness by writing straight from his own
creative heart.”
Daphne Yang, 944 Magazine
“Australia-bred
Andy Clockwise has proven himself equal parts barroom rocker and
hopeless romantic. The former comedian’s live shows — which have earned
him a following in both L.A.s, the Eastside and Westside — have been
sweaty affairs, the roguishly charming singer channeling pop star, punk
rocker and soul man all in the space of a few minutes. No matter his
persona, Clockwise’s songs possess a formidable observational bite.”
Kevin Bronson, Buzz Bands LA
“Los
Angeles is not really known as a place to experience new music, at
least not these days, but we have a new found hope after our friend
Beau Swayze from CAA invited us out to see this Australian band Andy
Clockwise. Andy Kelly, a.k.a. Andy Clockwise along with his drummer
Stella Mozgawa and Bassist Josh Norton rocked the famous Troubador. Not
only did they impress us with their music, but we loved their style.
We’ve never wanted to be a performer more in our life”
Erica Cornwell, Style Seen Daily
