About Me

Founded by Alex Welch as a high school distraction, Alex wrote and recorded an album "Thoughts From A Disaster" collaborating with Josh Wayman a band mate from his previous band Kajunga.

In following years musician's came in and out of Midnight's Sun of which included Nelson Walkom (The Missing, on lead guitar) and Nathan Busst (Drums). And finally settled on a line up adding Gerry Dolfen (Vox) and Liam Drennan (Bass). The combination lasted over half a year before an democratic breakdown occured.

Back on the wagon, Alex will be recording a new album, "Thinking In Pictures" and will be releasing it in three EP parts over the next year.
