The psychedelic alternative outfit from Perth, Australia has made its way to the States at record speed after the band’s conception in 2014. The members of the band include English guitarist and singer Jack McEwan, guitarist Luke Parish, drummer Danny Caddy, bassist Wayan Billondana and keyboardist Chris Young. What originally started as a happy accident of late-night jam sessions suddenly turned into something more when McEwan moved into a barn “trying to live the bohemian life… until I ran out of internet.” The band met at the barn composing songs out of an old, out-of-tune piano and hooking up various projectors to the amps in order to beam out psychedelic energy onto the walls. The members’ inspiration interestingly came from their time as tradies working on building sites. What was produced was “a riotous stomp of psych-rock escapism.” Today, the band is compared to the likes of acclaimed psych-alt composer and musician Tame Impala. The band has now made its way to the 40 Watt to deliver a plethora of mind-warping sounds to the Athens music scene.
