The Sunny Mechanic draws inspiration from Blues, Folk, Grunge and Rock music, whilst keeping a keenly original sound.
The Sunny Mechanic formed around 2004 and base their mayhem in Newcastle. They’ve managed spread their show around as far as Sydney, The Centeral Coast and Melbourne, but can most often be found making some noise at The Lass O’Gowrie Hotel on Railway st, Newcastle.
At present, they lie in wait, biding their time in the calm before the storm before the release their first CD upon an unsuspecting world.

Quotes.
“A rumble shakes the ground as one Mr. Howling Thommy B arches his back and roars into the empty heavens, guitars flash like lightning, leaving sparks hanging in the air. Like a heavy, distant storm, drums can be heard crashing and raging throughout the night.”
- Samual Byfield, “The Critical Review”.
“Thom, I want your baby!”
- Brooke Tippit, The Cambridge Hotel.
