October 2008 marked the long awaited and seemingly inevitable melding of five promising musicians, creating a fresh and energetic new band: Mindil Beach Markets. Though new on the scene, the band's members have been playing together in various musical projects for over five years and MBM just seemed to come together naturally. This process was undoubtedly aided by the boys' similar perspectives on life and music. Having grown up on the serene Sunshine Coast, all five band members are accustomed to a laid back lifestyle and exhibit an innate appreciation for the simple beauty found in nature. This perspective clearly manifests in their music, lending an organic and pure harmony to the nostalgic summer time vibe of their songs. Their curious name, courtesy of an actual market place in Australia, is surprisingly apt. Exhibiting a diversity not unlike that of a marketplace, they are a band that is difficult to cram into a nutshell, with song stylings ranging from funky and bumping to powerfully emotive. Although the songs are generally composed by guitarists Daniel and Pat, each member brings a unique style and energy into a collaborative end result. Together they seem to have a knack for creating a blend which is catchy without being empty, a rare kind of honest and heartfelt rock born out of five ordinary guys writing melodies and words for ordinary people. Essentially, they are a band that is creating exactly what their name implies- something for everyone.
