About Me

Violent WindmillsThe four piece indie rock outfit based in Brisbane known as Violent Windmills have, along with their energetic symphonic onslaught, brought to several local stages a certain majestic air which hovers above them, making the Windmills truly unique in the scene. Adopting human form for their gigs (which are propitious in the extreme), their tempo destroying mayhem, pulsating power-grooves, and haunting melodic ambiences combine forces with unrivalled intensity to stun, hypnotise, and captivate their audiences, often leaving them weak and in need of strong drink. With wall to wall pricked-eared head-turners an unrelenting part of their arsenal, Violent Windmills are: “An experience to behold...”1Windmills are fronted by the eccentric propensities of the bassological playing genius known as Jimi Ferguson (who’s vocal capabilities have succeeded in making several angels fall from grace due to jealous rages); flanked on one side by the pensive yet ecstatic rhythmically funked guitar virtuoso Ben Garrard, and on the other by the gut wrenching flying fingers of lead-guitarist extraordinaire Keegan Eastcott, while the bone-rattling insidiousness of drummer Alex Downs flirts with the disintegration of all that is sane. If you’ve ever felt the urge to be propelled into a state of emotional and intellectual depth that will open you into a new and vastly rewarding world of congruence within your life structure, then this is the band for you...
