Now based in Adelaide, South Australia, Arift originates from the regional town of Mildura (VIC, Aus); where friends Dale Fulton, Ryan Moore and Steve Pay started jamming and writing songs together at their local school many years ago.
After a few gigs here and there the boys enlisted the then guitarist, & now bass player, Nathan Bland to fill out their heavy sound. Their final member came a few months (& a few gigs) later in final member, now lead vocalist, Brent Logan.
Arift's screaming power, diversity & passion is embodied in these 5 friends (Fultz, Boagz, Moorey, Steve & Blandy); each bringing with them their own different influences, strengths, opinions and aspects.
Through it all thus far Arift have had the honour of sharing stages with many well-known (and not-so well known) bands including ‘Tim Rogers & the Temperence Union’, ‘Kissychasey’, ‘The Spazzys’, 'Jackson Firebird', ‘The Androids’, ‘Body Jar’, ‘Ten Penny Joke’, ‘TZU’, ‘The Devil Rock Four’, ‘From Hell’ & even hip-hoppers ‘The Herd’!
Chasing their dreams through the music they love & having an awesome time in the process is what it's about! Let me tell you... Arift are heavy, Arift are loud and Arift are doing just that... with a passion!
ROCK ON FAITHFUL!!

Our live recordings were at 'Live On Light Square' on Light Sq, Adelaide back in April 08 at our CD launch show. It is/was a great venue. It's being changed into an apartment block so they have moved just down the road, still the same name, just different place, but we haven't gigged there yet!
