Liminal offer a fresh approach to a classic format - the traditional four-piece rock band. Their sound is modern but meaningful, moody yet invigorating, powerful but accessible. Members of the group combine a love of many different musical genres into a sound that is both polished and intensely soulful.
The band consists of Corinna Jane on vocals, Stephen Robb on guitar and various friends on other instruments. Corinna has sung in countless bands, including the Dormice, Bull In A China Shop, Nova and Yamaha Rock 91 finalists, Magic Circle Club. She has been described as "the female Robert Plant". Stephen previously played guitar in the indie rock band Dependent, and is branching out as a lead guitarist and songwriter in Liminal.
Liminal formed in September of 2001. The band was off to a flying start when selected as a joint winner of the HITZ-FM Exposure songwriting competition. The judges were impressed by one of the band's very first compositions, Inclement Moon. This success resulted in a lengthy live broadcast of original material, when the band was a mere two months old. Following this auspicious beginning, Liminal has steadily gained recognition for their painstakingly crafted original material.
One number that has garnered a lot of praise is Galaxy, a fast-paced, driving track, which was included on the 2002 Girl 2 compilation CD. Respected music journalist Clem Bastow noted that Galaxy's musical strengths were "something of a lost art". The success of Galaxy led to appearances on the channel 31 television programme, Russ Kellett's Melbourne as well as a number of showcase performances at Melbourne icon, the Esplanade Hotel.
The knock-down, drag-out track Shadowed was included on the internationally released Payola1 compilation CD. Sultry track Single Female Wanted was released via Payola2, with a big launch in May at Melbourne's Pony, along with Kathematics, Koshowso and Stardiner. These tracks subsequently gained synchronisation licences from a popular local television show, Fat Pizza. September saw the band host "Take 2: 3, 4, 5", a special event which featured Liminal alongside stellar Melbourne musicians Tempted and the Deborah Hocking Band, performing unique cover versions of each act's original tunes.
In 2007, Liminal featured on the Two-Up: Double A-Sides compilation, released through Phonoscope Productions, headlining the day-long CD launch at the Empress Hotel. At the moment, Liminal have taken time out from their live performance work to get started on their long-awaited debut EP recording, to feature some of their latest and most dynamic original works.
