About Me

The story so far......Mass Migration are a Brisbane 4 piece instrumental rock band. The band was partially formed in mid-2006 when guitarists Owen and Jamie answered ads placed in local street press mags by drummer Casey, and was later finalised with the addition of bass player and pianist Innez.In January 2007, Mass Migration entered Nasty studios to record their first bunch of demos. In 6 hours, 7 songs were recorded and cut live with little overdubs, capturing the live essence of the band. In March, the band made their live debut at Miami tavern on the Gold Coast, and to date have shared the stage with some exellent local and interstate acts including The Seabellies, Ponyloaf, Bloon, Del Toro, Buildings Melt, Holoscene and Cardiff Giant.In June Mass Migration re-entered Nasty studios to record their second batch of demos and with the added confidence from playing shows and with 2 days to record , songs were more fully realised. The band will release their debut EP mid-2008 with the help of Cam Smith of Incremental Records and producer Mike Major (Sparta, At The Drive In).Two of the songs from the forthcoming ep (Sepia and Ill at Ease) are up for you to enjoy.
