DTR SA/NT FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK....Radio Spectacular
About Radio Spectacular!!!
Phebe and Harry met in 2005 on MySpace and five months later Harry had moved from Bundaberg to Adelaide so they could be together. Harry had been in Brisbane hardcore band Slain of Myself and was a keen piano and guitar player. Phebe had no previous musical endevours, other than the few years of recorder she did in primary school. As a joke they wrote and recorded a few songs Little Stevie and Waltz Of The Fuzzy Peach King and put them up on Harry’s music page www.myspace.com/harrywhizkidmusic but after getting a bit of attention they decided to get a bit serious and created Radio Spectacular!!! in 2006.
They did their first gig in 2007 after getting air play on community radio stations like Adelaide’s Three D. They have played with the likes of femme fatales, Cut Sic, We Grow Up, brothersister and Mr. Wednesday. They independently recorded their first EP called Extended Play which was reviewed by local magazine ‘Excitement Machine’ and described it as ” … one of the best pure pop recordings we’ve heard in years. And oh my god, is that a recorder?”. They have also been included on a few compilations including Three D Radio’s Depthcharge 6 release, Excitement Machine’s A Pretty Exciting Xmas CD and Japanese record label ABCDEFG Record’s ABCD-EP Zine.
In late 2007 they were chosen as a ‘Spotlight Artist’ on Triple J’s Unearthed website and their song Ghosts and Ghouls was played on ABC’s digital TV channel ABC2 as part of an Unearthed program. Not long after Vintage Piano was played on Triple J radio.
Harry and Phebe met on Myspace.
They fell in love.
With their powers combined, they are ...

Quotes!
"Be entranced as Phebe's voice whispers over guitars, synths and other -worldly sounds."
- Triple J Unearthed
"... one of the best pure pop recordings we've heard in years. And oh my god, is that a recorder?"
- Excitement Machine
"... a obnoxiously cute little 2 piece band that could either double as (a) a Children's Television theme jingle, (b) a really scary Christian rock band or (c) the Antichrist itself. ENJOY!"
- Spoz
"There’s a lot of variability in their sound, suggesting that they are a band still finding their voice but with a scary amount of raw talent."
- afreeman.org
"...all their songs have combinations of what sound like toy instruments and simple productions with friendly vocals, that make you want to sing along ..."
- The Pop League
