The Enclave

The Enclave, (the band formerly known as, Army Of Juan), are a Progressive/Metal/Rock/Experimental band from Melbourne, Australia. Formed in '03, they have had what could only be described as a "Spinal Tap" experience, (but that's another story..) Singer/Songwriter - Nik Barker, Drummer - Josh Romeo, and Bassist/Guitarist - Midge Barrow, met at a mutual friends party, and quite quickly realised that they equally shared a passion for music, deciding to get together and, " jam it up a bit".
Soon after, they began rehersing twice a week around Nik's kitchen table, and began work on dynamic yet simple; bombastic journeys, loaded with guitars, strings, piano, percussion, and lyric's about overcoming unimaginable odds.
What began to emerge was a story-line, cut up, like William S. Burroughs' - "The Naked Lunch", for the listener to assemble and interpret, in anyway that resonates with them. The intention of The Enclave has always been to run a gammut of styles, not being restricted by boarders; spiritualy, or stylisticly, each album to be it's own chapter, with it's own pallete of colors.
They recently went into Audiocraft studios , Moorabbin, and layed down their self-produced debut e.p. "Grand Illusion", the first installment in what will become a series. They are currently preparing to bring it to the stage, and with the recent addition of Ross playing guitars, The Enclave are once again breathing as one, and maintain a stronger presence than ever before.
