About The Minority

*** CHECK OUT OUR BRAND NEW VIDEO CLIP SHOT ENTIRELY ON GREEN SCREEN (Created By Steve Edwards) ***

FLAMBOYANT : DYNAMIC : SEXED UP : the minority

NEVER BEFORE HAS AUSTRALIA GIVEN BIRTH TO SUCH AN UNASHAMEDLY DARING, PANSEXUAL FOURSOME AS THE MINORITY.

Theatrical, multi-layered tunes; controversial lyrics and a sexy, glam rock image; The Minority are sizzling with the most intense blend of all things hot!

How many other Aussie male/female combinations openly toy with androgyny & sexual ambiguity, yet all the while maintaining integrity and sophistication?

How many other Aussie bands produce catchy, enigmatic songs & highly energetic, compelling live shows for the broadest of audiences?

The Minoritys music is distinctive; infused with intense, edgy character and a unique, contemporary flavour. The styles vary from alternative rock/pop to classy dance pulses - always seething with a flirtatious charisma and an addictive kind of magic.

A closer listen to The Minoritys eccentric lyrics reveal splashes of witty humour, sordid truths & some power packed angst - wrapping sexual politics, twisted relationships and numerous obsessive behaviours in character, comedy and charm.

While comparisons to Scissor Sisters, The Darkness & The Killers are not uncommon - these guys & girls are a breed of their own; confident in their direction - and a stage presence rarely seen. The result is simply dynamic!
