Band Website	thecashews.com
Band Members	Click here to see footage of us playing at the Walk Against Warming that the lovely Dave turned into a video clip - how cool! Usually it's just Pete and Alison... ...but when we're really lucky we have Emily and Dan too! you can email us if you like (only if you're a nice person) thecashews [at] thecashews.com
Influences	Darren Hanlon The Go Betweens Clare Bowditch Sufjan Stevens
Sounds Like	Here's a lovely account of loadedog's experience of one of our recent guerilla gigs - with lots of fun photos, including a couple of our roaming instrumental solo and some of our fellow performers, Matty and Nick. Here's a little video of Sanji escorting people with song to thier cars, as they leave our first guerrilla gig. Here's an interview with Andy on 2XX's "In the Can" in which we play NEW songs (pencil and pad, headliner, felting), where there is trumpet and we unsucessfully try to limit our silly talk. Many thanks to johnboy of the theconcat.com.au for posting this up. Here's our Insatiable Banalaties Podcast in which we play songs and talk about lots of silly stuff like getting to third base for the first time on the banks of sullivan's creek. Here's an interview with Rafe on 2XX's "In the Can" in which we play songs and talk about lots of silly stuff like "cash-shoes". Many thanks to johnboy of the theconcat.com.au for posting this up - give it a minute to load. Here's the Insatiable Banalaties 50th Celebration Podcast in which we (and many other much more talented folk) play songs and talk about lots of silly stuff and Sophie states her preference for Pete.

The cashews take themselves very seriously...

You can tell how serious they are by the array of childrens toys they like to incorporate into their songs...

You can tell how serious they are by the number of songs they write about their soulless home town, Canberra...

You can tell how serious they are by the way they like to give their audiences only one hour of notice before descending - guerrilla style - upon a public space (like the side of a mountain) and playing a free unamplified gig...

You can tell how serious they are by their three music-related goals:
(1) to program Rage;
(2) to play a national tour of public library foyers;
(3) they've forgotten the third one...

You can tell how serious they are when you ask them about their favourite gigs which have included playing at the Southern Hemisphere Felters Convergence and the National Sound and Film Archives...

They invite you to take them seriously too...
