About Me

We are 3 boys and a man (a film producer, a radiographer, a design student, and a social work student) who in our spare time enjoy dabbling in dark and melodic movement based music.

Since August 2007, we have played alongside DATAROCK (Norway), The Bravery (NYC), Young & Restless (Melb), Van She (Syd), Grafton Primary (Syd), Dardanelles (Melb) & many other talented local acts. We have also played at a few festivals, most notably at Parklife 2007.

"As Twist Oliver, Twist!’s set proceeds, I’m impressed by the band’s intentional ignorance of the several hundred eyeballs focussed on their captivating brand of synth-rock. It’s likely that they’re playing the best show of their short career, but beyond an occasional muttered “thanks”, they’re happy to let their music speak for itself. I’ll draw the short-bow by noting their parallels to the Midnight Juggernauts – clean, punchy basslines, swirling synth sounds and an animated drummer – but their performance tonight is engaging enough to step outside of casual comparisons." - Rave Magazine (ANDREW MCMILLEN)
