Shiftwork

Getting their friends to come along since 2005

About Me

An undefined band from Perth, formed by 4 friends in early 2005, originally as a side project. An early demo was recorded mid 2005, followed by a handful of gigs at various venues around Perth in 2006. Their arbitrary, mostly unrecorded back catalogue exhibits styles ranging from roots to rock with tinges of pop mixed into various experimental styles, refusing for better or worse to settle into any one distinct genre, but rather skipping over many.
