"Our appreciation to Smart Artists for the calibre of song selection, sensational
harmonies and vocal sound, captivating guitar work and more importantly for being
'all round good fellas'…."
Carmel McKenna, Entertainment Officer, Arnhem Club Resort Gove NT
"Not only are you a great band with a great selection of songs, you are also great performers and entertainers which as you know is imperative in this business. It was one of our biggest nights and a tribute to you guys. I have never received such positive feedback regarding a band in the past. I handled many phone calls the following day wanting to know when you were playing next. Next time you travel to New Zealand I will definitely want to book you again.….."
Glen Christiansen, General Manager, Golden Gate Lodge Cromwell, New Zealand
"We have only ever received positive feedback from the patrons, staff and management and full credit goes to you boys. It always a pleasure working with Smart Artists and I look forward to working with you again in the future….."
Paul Kuellners, Entertainment Manager, Twin Towns Tweed Heads

This 4-piece band promises you one 'helluva' great night out delivering an instantly infectious brand of rock that captures energy and imagination.The recipe is simple ….. combine rolling verse that flows into catchy chorus that then melts into some tasty lead guitar work.The result is a rock sound of hooks and melodies, laced with crunchy guitars.Whilst the band will continue to write and release its own original material, it also takes carefully selected, well-known tunes and rearranges them for a freshness and a spark.It's fair to say that audiences from along the NSW North Coast of Australia through to the Northern Territory's mining town of Gove/Nulumbuy and throughout New Zealand's South Island can't get enough of Smart Artists.January 2008 has already seen the band tie up a music deal with Red Hot Global (an Australian Adult Entertainment Movie Company) that will see its music launched worldwide.Early December 2007 saw the band release its debut album 'Never Too Late'. It is an absolute powerhouse containing an explosion of the band's original material plus all 5 previous radio hits.The album now sits at No. 6 in Australia's MP3.com Charts (Rock Genre).The latest single 'You spin me right round' has now been picked up by many radio stations along the eastern states, regional areas and in New Zealand.The song now sits at No. 9 in Australia's MP3.com Charts (Rock Genre).
