About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Red Rival has done a lot since they first reared their heads in 06. Theyâ€™ve played relentlessly, and developed an ever-evolving bunch of songs that cover garage, post-punk weirdness and abstract psychedelia.

In December 2006, they won Triple J Unearthed. They played the dusk slot at the Falls Festival and were the only Tasmanian rock band invited to play the inaugural Southern Roots Festival alongside Gomez, Wolfmother and the Pixies.

You can catch them on hip stations like Edge (Hobart), PBS (Melbourne), Triple J and WLUW (Chicago).

In early 2008, following on from a successful tour taking in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, they were nominated for a number of Amplified Awards (Tassie's major music awards) and were voted Tassie's best up and coming band. Their website - www.redrivaltheband.com - also won the award for best web presence.

They are about to begin recording a follow up to their 2007 Up All Night EP. Like, totally.
