"When I first saw these guys at the end of last year they were a total surprise, two thirds of former Wollongong band Cikim, The Convenience were taking things down a totally different but impressive road. Their debut recording is a great reflection of what they are live and for a home studio recording they have really pulled together a special little five track disc. The trio specialize in delivering a modern day take on classic pop/rock sounds that bands such as Australian Crawl and Split Endz did so well back in the eighties. Despite this type of music still dominating commercial radio airwaves, it is somewhat refreshing to hear a new band doing it. If you are a fan of the aforementioned artists and current bands such as Sparkadia and even the more recent output from The Beautiful Girls, you should like this disc."

Do you like a cool tune regardless of the style or who's playing it? Do you care about the band members haircuts or what jeans they are wearing?
Do you love a bit of a sing-a-long.......maybe with a little bit of a rock edge?
Well.......The Convenience are a 3 piece 'powerpop', 'pop-rock', 'however the fock you want to classify them' band from Wollongong that seem to put the right mix of ingredients into their musical stir-fry, writing simple but effective tunes which focus on the concept of song.
An experienced band without the ego and haircuts, The Convenience are one of those bands that just seem to work; regardless of the venue, crowd, or amount of alcohol in the rider.
Good songs, good blokes.....it's all so very convenient!
thanks for the add I found you guys cuz your band name is the same as my myspace URL *myspace.com/theconvenience* and i decided you were pretty good and decided to add you.. cool songs ^-^
