ABOUT US :)
Here is a little bio for you to read and think of rainbows.
Rooftop Nightwatch is a quintet of friends from Brisbane. Their creative influences and cleverness combine to make music which is like donkeys to dishes. They mix everything from indie-rock to folk-pop to alt-country, with lots of light and shade in chiaroscuro-esque tradition. Their songs drift from one style to another with dreamy boy/girl vocals. Rooftop Nightwatch want their songs to be like pastel-coloured rocket-ships floating splendidly in the universe.
The band started out in 2006 with duo Melissa Tickle and Patrick Elliott, using the band as an outlet, excuse if you will, which allowed them to play their own songs. In August 2007 the full band was formed with total babes Jane Austen, Pat McDermott and David Hannah. The same month they performed together for the first time and were very surprised at the lovely response they received. Since then the Rooftop Nightwatch kids have played Brisbane venues which include; The Zoo, Rics, Rosie’s and The Troubadour. Pat and Jane's senile old-lady neighbour has been quoted as saying "What is that TERRible noise?!" while the band was practicing in their apartment block. Werd.
Their interests include drinking cola, harassing elderly neighbours who have lost their marbles, inventing party dances, tattooing band names on their bottoms, donkeys named Geoffrey, the colour yellow, Taco Tuesday, bathtub parties with confetti, indecent behaviour, chasing scrub turkeys, Ric's, festivals, trashy house parties and Patrick Elliott’s controversial dancing skills.
