About Me

Atlas Weights are a rock’n’roll four piece from Sydney, Australia.
About the band.
Formed in 2007, they made their live debut in May and since then have made appearances at numerous Sydney venues such as The Hopetoun, The Lansdowne, The Gaelic Club and The Manning Bar to name a few. In 2008, Atlas Weights look to play bigger and better gigs in Sydney and surrounds to round out their first year of gigging together. And then begin the next one.
About the music.
Atlas Weights combine melodic sensibility with musical depth and experimentation, combining genres such as jazz, blues, progressive rock, post-rock, folk, country and pop into a distinct, versatile sound that they can call their own. Please note also the presence of bitchin’ solos.
About the CD.
As of December ’07, an Atlas Weights CD has been available. It contains seven songs and runs around forty minutes in length. If you are interested, check the blog above for further details.
About bookings.
For bookings, contact Atlas Weights by e-mail at our official address, "[email protected]" or contact John-Mikael by phone on 0420-654-476.
About you.
While you’re here, please check out our JJJ Unearthed page using the conveniently placed banner below. You can download, rate and review three of the tracks from our CD - Juju Fever, Nightwalker and Citadel.
Also, if you want to hear us on the radio, use this banner to check out FBi radio and request us. That would be smashing.
Or, if you’re more of a Triple J person, you could use this link.
If you’re in Melbourne, you could request us on RRR.
Or if you’re in Brisbane, you could request us on ZZZ.
Any and all support is much appreciated as always.
Cheers
- Atlas Weights
