Twin City Radio

About Me

Twin City Radio – the name conjures up some of the great metropolitan pairings that celebrate humankinds’ ability to build things in… pairs – Minneapolis and St Paul…Buda and Pest…Albury and Wodonga.
Like gin goes with tonic, bacon goes with eggs, and Eastwood goes with Clyde, Twin City Radio celebrates the unbridled joy that is lyric and melody. Built around the songwriting quintuplet of Angus Grant, Marcel Dorney, Neal Harvey, Des White and Rob Vasey, Twin City Radio honed their craft across the vast impenetrable distance that is the Australian outback. Granted the Newell Highway does provide a timely and direct route between Melbourne and Brisbane, but these students of the craft were forced (economically, rather than physically) to cultivate the garden of sound and light that is Twin City Radio over 1800km. Now united (thanks to a combination of lamington drives and bikini car washes -- thank you Gust, we couldn’t have made it without you) Twin City Radio are taking it to the streets. Of Melbourne. And Tomorrow the world.
