About Me

2009 ~ the Viscounts ~ trio formed several years ago from the popular 8-piece Smart Alecs band. Pete, Alec & Andy have pooled their songwriting, bringing together their various and eclectic musical backgrounds to create a highly engaging, groovy and original lo-fi style.From cinematic instrumentals to stories of attraction, apostate reflection, dry-witted wordplay & pointed social comment, you’ll find yourself gently swaying to a moody arrangement, or just getting up to dance. You can catch them playing through Central Victoria or down in Melbourne, so look out for a gig near you somewhere soon .. Come and light yourself up with the Viscounts – you’ll be so glad you did!
