Captain Fantastic

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC is Sydney’s most Rockin’ Rock and Roll band!
The band brings together four dedicated, professional musicians which blend a mixture of Triple M based Rock & Pop music mostly from the 90’s til now aswell as a few goldern tracks from the yesteryears. With hits from bands such as The Living End, The Killers, Blink 182, ACDC, Grinspoon and maybe even some Katy Perry! – Captain Fantastic will create a fun filled party atmosphere that has proven to be a firm favourite with venues and function organsiers all across Sydney catering for all ages. Captain Fantastic can also be booked as an acoustic show with Dave, Mick and Wayne playing the same material plus much more in friendly 'take us home to meet your family' vibe! Also whilst on the subject, you can book Captain Fantastic with an additional keyboard player in Sydney session player Greg Agar - Have a listen to our demo Let Me Entertain You to hear us with some keys!
Fronted by Dave who is known to us as 'The Captain' since a huge career starting as a solo artist who had a 5 night a week residency in some of Sydneys prestigious music venues, Dave also went onto duo and band work, singing in sydney party band Hot Fudge. Dave has never been a stranger at Penrith Panthers either, over the years he has done 100's of shows as a solo artist at the club. Do try and avoid being targeted by his wave of in-between song jokes!
Mick Fryar plays lead guitar in the band, who has notched up around 600 professional gigs already at the young age of 22. Mick is also seen all over Sydney whilst also playing in his own duo and trio, aswell as being a freelance guitar player and session recording artist is currently working hard in his originals project 'The Loves'. Mick has shared the stage with The Living End, The Angels, The Casanovas, The Radiators and more. Take abit of the young brothers from ACDC, Brian Setzer and Chris Cheney and you have Mick Fryar! - No Steve Vai stuff here.
On Bass guitar is Chris Medina but known to most of us as 'Funky Cold'. Chris brings his loyalty, professional attitude to the Captain Fantastic team aswell as some damn good bass playing too! When Chris is not playin live he is one of Sydney's most in demand bass and guitar tutors.
Wayne Grech is the heartbeat of the band. Tonnes of experiance as a touring, recording artist since the 80's, Wayne AKA. Gretchie is a quiet achiever. You may remember Wayne from his old band 'Matt Finish'. After about 10 gigs he finally mentioned he once played on the main stage at a Big Day Out! Gretchie adds a whole lot of fun and 'great' jokes to the team, oh yeah and plays drums mighty fine too! Does a better Phil Rudd than Phil Rudd! We wouldnt want it any other way!
