EightyEight

About Me

Eighty-Eight was born when three Brisbane based school mates joined together to emulate the sounds of their rock/pop-punk idols. After playing numerous shows around Brisbane, the band decided to take a year off in 2007 when faced with a change to the line up.

Now, the boys are back. Their old tunes have been revamped, and they are always adding to the collection of new tunes, promising to bring even more energy to their already rocking shows.

Eighty-Eight now play regularly around Brisbane, and their following is growing steadily. If you don't want to be accused of living under a rock, get yourself to their next show. You won't be disappointed.
