Ladies and Gentlemen,
We are a band from Perth, Western Australia. We combine the musicianship of technically progressive bands with the interesting and intricate melodies of more "pop" and "alternative" oriented outfits. The local press has described the band as an emotion-charged outfit "....commanding elements of dense, down-tuned phases that stab at the musical soul of their listeners and band alike" – The Drum Media, 2/11/06. We have toured Western Australia in support of our debut EP "Portrait" produced by WAMI nominated producer Adam Spark (Birds of Tokyo). We are back in production working on a follow-up to "Portrait". Editors note - We also like stupid jokes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Captain Planet. And we still listen to Michael Jackson.
....on the record....
"Its f**king brilliant! it's on high rotation here at the moment.." - Dan Beard, Space Ship News
