About Me

The 'pieces' demo is officially alive so come on down to one of our million shows to pick one up. WHILE STOCKS LAST

the small hours are quite possibly the only indie pop band to ever come out of south west sydney. the small hours are all 18 (wait, one just turned 19). the small hours have now been playing in sydney for about 8 months. the small hours don't practice as much as they should, but hopefully they will soon. the small hours like analog synthesizers. especially Roland Juno-60's. the small hours have just said goodbye to amanda, and now the peter plays the a-fore-mentioned Roland Juno-60(s). the small hours are trying to get to melbourne, but before that, they're doing a mini-tour with The Seabellies in July. the small hours have played with Dappled Cities Fly, Red Riders, Belles Will Ring, The Seabellies, Quarter Acre, Red Ink Spills, The Saturns, The Detours, Sister Jane, Mark Bradshaw, and Moonmilk, among many other fine and interesting groups. please contact [email protected] for bookings.
