About Me

BUY THE NEW PLANET X COMPILATION WITH AWKWARD SILENCE BY CLICKING HERE:
Eclectic and genre bending, mixing driving disco beats with intricate guitar stylings from an imaginary 70's iconic rock band that has somehow turned up in Tewantin, Queensland in 2006. Containing 3 brothers and their best mate, AS writes music unlike anything they see around them, focusing on the simple elements of emotion, dynamics and harmony, adding glorious imperfections and a mystical paradigm forged deep within a family of musicians. With the majority of their lives spent jamming to various styles and grooves including blues, jazz, funk and rock, travelling around Australia in an old Greyhound bus, these guys are entirely comfortable being awkward. - Stay cool, stay awkward.
Described recently by a well known music writer as "The Killers carving off the heads of The Beach Boys using broken Bloc Party Records" or something like that, Awkward Silence have been played on national radio staton Triple J and been featured artist in their Unearthed Competition. They have recently been selected for the forthcoming MP3.com Powered Planet X Extreme Games Compilation and continue to gain attention both in Oz and overseas. Look for an EP and a national tour support soon...
