About Me

Brisbane band Wasted On The Young formed in late 2006, the culmination of several members leaving their former bands distraught and disillusioned over the muddy waters they'd driven their talents to in the past.

What started as a pet project for Kyle Kyleson in his Houghton St office in 2005, mushroomed into a cash crop of quality hits that would form the mainstay of Wasted on the Young's future playlist.

Joined by fellow band members Douglas Pye on lead vocals/harmonica, Craig McGrath on saxophone, Christian Hamilton on guitar/keyboards, Ian Sheward on bass and Doug (Snoop) Marsden on drums, the band quickly rose through the ranks of Brisbane's dwindling array of playing venues, establishing a strong audience of listeners who immerse themselves in copious melodic sounds and wailing lyrical overtones – a reminder of what obsessive and fixated music is capable of.

The band has never claimed to have the individuality and originality of other groups who loosely call themselves "artists", but assures its audience of a rock & blues experience that will not act as a memento of previous gigs they've seen before, but an honesty and inventiveness that struggles to leave the mind.
