Hometown?

 

Home of the famous brown Yarra River which runs through the CDB, By far the BEST casino, Home of the greatest artists hitting Australia including Taxiride,

Madison Avenue, The Skyhooks, John Farnham just to name a few, Home of the gorgeous Julia Gillard.... MELBOURNE!!!!

 

What are you up to at the moment? 

 

Me? Im sipping down a few glasses of Spanish Shiraz.... But as a band we've just completed our full band line up, and getting ready to play

a string of shows around Melbourne, our most important show being The Espy Artist Showdown on the 2nd Of June. Also we've been promoting 

our Kylie Minogue Cover Song which is on YouTube. We've been writing new material which we think sounds killer and we will be playing these new songs

at our coming shows. 

 

 

Plans for the future?

 

Our plans at this stage is to connect with as much of Melbourne as possible, we are still fresh meat ready to get cooking. So far we've had

great support from friends and family and we are ready to get out there and show Melbourne Rock lovers that we LOVE writing music and performing and we promise not to disappoint. Once we've built ourselves a fanbase, hopefully head interstate! We are hoping to release an EP sometime in the next few months which we've been working on at a studio in Christmas Hills with Producer/Musician Joel Dowling. Our band is totally self managed at the moment, and we are promoting ourselves as far wide and beyond as possible on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Reverbnation... through connections picked up various shows... but finding management is definitely on the cards, hopefully someone who can help steer us in the right and best direction that suits our interests!

 

 

Whats the bands biggest achievement to date?

 

Our biggest achievement is definitely moulding this band together. From past experiences its sometimes hard finding that common ground between new members especially when personality clashes head on... but we all got along from the beginning, and its always a joy writing with the dudes week in week out... we have some real talented, creative and down to earth braajjj's!

 

 

 

Who parties the most? 

 

Tomye and myself have definitely had our fair share of partying prior to this band, being best mates since early High School and played 

in bands, performed and grown up together we have COUNTLESS amount of funny, horror, cringe worthy, cute and head shaking stories...

We all haven't yet had a big night out together, even a catch up drink... so the others might put Tomye and myself to shame. But if I was a betting man... I'd guess Anson would be the party hardy!

 

 

What are your Influences?

 

We all share a common love for ROCK music ranging from Punk, Hardcore, Metal etc... but its our Individual passion and love for all things that have a beat,

melody, hook and heart that shines through our music. Across our line up influences range from Hip Hop, RnB, Mellow, Acoustic, Pop, Rap, Post Hardcore, 

Eighties music, Golden Oldies, Jazz. Tevv even has a passion for Mongolian Throat Singing... which we totally respect!    

 

 

What can punters expect at one of your shows?

 

Our Guitarists throwing themselves into the crowd whether it is 5 people or 50... Lots of Sweat... Good looking bunch of dudes... Wailing Guitars....

Energetic Stage moves... Tevv's Next Top Model lip pouting... but most of all... EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! 

 

 

Who gets the most groupies?

 

None of us at this stage of time unfortunately... but i think Tevv will definitely be popular with the fans!

 

 

 

What is your dream support slot?

 

DEFINITELY an A Class festival like Rock Am Ring or Vans Warped Tour where we've seen all of our favourite bands on every line up year after year,

being apart of a show like those would be a dream come true!
