About Me

Ever satisfied that lustful craving for rocking tunes?
Do you wake up in the morning yearning for tasty grooves?
LOOK NO FURTHER!
The Heist are three strapping young creative lads from the outskirts of the city. They harvest a range of different musical influences from eclectic psychodelia to folk to jazz to rock n roll. However, their main inspiration is the colourful world around them, full of targets with shocking faces and skeletons in the closet.
Yet their topics can range from anything to everything to nothing. With enough tasty grooves to lube up Godzilla, and enough pure teeth melting rock to get King Kong in the mood to sodomize, The Heist will surely satifsfy your long-lasting needs and guiltiest pleasures. Dance, piggy, Dance.
THE HEIST'S DEBUT EP IS OUT NOW!
AVAILABLE AT GIGS OR THROUGH THE BAND
The Line up of The Heist is as follows:
Ben Morrow - Guitar/Vocals
Elias Papoulious- Drums, Penetration
Oliver Packard- Bass/Vocals, Keys
Be sure to look out for The Heist around the streets of Melbourne, and when in doubt, call Batman.
Be good to your dog, Doctor Shock
