The Shine Army

About Me

"Big Rock guitars, disturbing and perverse sexual connotations, no subtlety and to be honest I'd leave the room if they were playing"
Zac Anthony - 'Instore Now' Magazine

Stop Press

From The Shine's HQ...
******THE SHINE ANNOUNCE SPLIT*****
"After 13 years Melbourne rock extravaganza The Shine have decided to disband.
'We wish to thank everyone who has supported us over the years.'
The album Irresistible Force will remain ‘shelved’. The Shine’s final gig was Friday Jan 25th in front of a sold out Hi-Fi Bar supporting Airbourne for their final Melbourne show."

The Shine Army MySpace page will continue. I'll try to get some un-released songs for the music player
Thank you to Big Daddy, Pete 3, Benny, Frosty, Dylan & Tuff Guy (wherever you are!) for your great music and awsome live shows

Back around 2002 “Big Flava” Julian James (as he was known) and his “special friend” Stephan Cool recorded these commercials for Fa deodorant. The fact that they weren’t actually sponsored by Fa deodorant didn’t seem to matter.
These were shown at All Star Wrestling and on Channel 31’s “Monday Night Mayhem”. The bedroom one was banned due to being sexually explicit. Stephan’s former tag team partner Mark Delicious makes an appearance in part 3
