Check out SKYBOMBERS featured on Channel 7's City Homicide
"Skybombers live is one of the highlights of Australian music at the moment" Jaymz Clements - Beat Magazine
Youth. Energy. Rock and Roll. Since the 1960’s this combination has propelled thousands of youngsters into garages, with borrowed guitars, broken drums and a swiftly taught power chord.
The story for Skybombers is no different; it begins with the ejection of one member from his high school orchestra, as a result of some ‘living end’ style double bass standing. The word went out, guitars were borrowed, drumkits were dusted off and re-assembled. The first rehearsal began with silence; two boys, having hated each other since a fistfight in year eight, now found themselves sitting in awkward silence, waiting for the remaining two members to arrive. Four words were said: “How are you?” Good, how are you? Good.”
The lads wrote songs based on those of the bands they loved, 1960’s garage pop, 1970’s rock and roll, early punk, 1990’s grunge and Britpop. The Kinks, The Clash, You Am I, The Easybeats, Oasis, The Hives. The racket echoed outta the suburban garage and straight into another era. The youth and the energy still remained.

Skybombers are about energy, they’re about melody, they’re about 4 A.M., they’re about being so drunk that you can’t stand still, so your only option is to dance. Most of all, they are about being young. Everyone can relate to that!

You guys were brilliant Friday! My friends and I agree that we didn't thank you enough for coming to Sydney and especially didn't thank you enough for all the swag! Thank you, thank you! Of course, being as greedy as we are, we went back and pinched the posters from the walls :D
Hope you had a great night after you played and again on Saturday! We did, but it was noting in comparison to getting to talk to you lot and help you with your stuff.
You are invited to come play at the CAVERN CLUB in ADELAIDE...its all ages / licensed / fully decked out with stage and PA AND door person provided!!...
Msg for info.....we are running the BANDROOM out of there .....our founder is the booker for the club!!!
If all goes to plan I'll be dragging a few friends down to Sydney tomorrow (trackwork with the trains may slow us down and one of us is working that morning)... minus a Tracey unfortunately but with the traditional sacrificial Pringles to appease the gods.
If we don't make it down, I hope you all have a great time while you're in Sydney and go back there soon for a gig we'll definately be there for... or back here to Newcastle :D
