  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. TonkSGreen write and perform songs all over the place. Upside, downside, backwards, frontways, and then some. Together they create a mesmerising, looping, close to the bone stream of unexpected sound. Matt & Syd's shows have earned a reputation for a unique haunting power. The songs, the voice, and the playing add up to far more than the sum of their parts. The sound is sometimes haunting and fragile, then suddenly huge and richly orchestrated. It’s often hard to believe there are only two people on stage. Finalists for APRA Songwriter of the Year in 2006 & 2008, TonkSGreen take their audience somewhere unexpected. In a hybrid steel string, flamenco, finger-style attack, Matts guitar is sampled & looped, creating waves of mesmerising, spontaneous sound. Combining Matt’s powerful, creative vocal & guitar with Syd’s intuitive, compelling drums & dobro, these two passionate performers push the limits of duo... If you like to be surprised, & aren't afraid of the unusual, Matt and Syd want to meet you. Synaesthesia - CD available now. NEW ALBUM MARCH '09. A new album is around the corner - catch a sneak peek right here... ............ ....Myspace Layouts.. at Pimp-My-Profile.com / ..Gray and Simple.. / ..Comments.. ..
