In Retrospect

About Me


In Retrospect is a five-piece rock band which has rocked Sydney venues
such as The Gaelic Club, The Annandale Hotel, The Marquee, Bar Broadway,
Manning Bar, The Bridge Hotel and The Hopetoun.
Since their formation in 2005, they’ve built up a loyal fan base with
their no-nonsense song writing and sonically intuitive arrangements.
Lately, the boys have been in lock down, reworking their music into a
new highly energised live show. This new sound is comparable to
Eskimo Joe, Muse, R.E.M and The Killers.
Fans caught a glimpse of this new show; where euro-synth meets
pop-rock at the V-Raw festival in September.
In Retrospect’s memorable tunes and musical aggression demands
the attention of aging teens and adults.
Loyal fans have been treated to a demo release to coincide with their
new show recorded at the Sonic Factory studios.
" (In Retrospect) looked comfortable with their original material and
sparked off each other's energy on stage…the songs and the band
held their own…" - Fiona Cameron (Drum Media)
In Retrospects' Debut EP Without Within was released
August 2006 and is available at gigs, through the band or
by visiting www.inretrospect.com.au

NOTE: All tracks from the EP were recorded in 2005,
prior to the addition of our Keyboardist.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 29/05/2006
Band Website: http://www.inretrospect.com.au
Band Members: Andrew Antonini -
Lead Vocals, Guitar
Whether singing intimate melodies, falsetto lines
or belting through his multi octave range, Andrews unique timbre
and delivery tie all the songs together with a voice that can be
both powerful and sensitive.
Danul Stewart -
Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals,
Principal Songwriter
Daniel is the heart and soul of the band. As the principal songwriter
he is responsible for the wide variety of lyrics, melodies and styles that make up
In Retrospects setlists.
As guitarist, Daniel brings an encyclopaedic knowledge
of musical styles, riffs, licks and grooves on which the band base their arrangements.
Mitchell Ross -
Bass Guitar
Mitch is the ultimate team player. Mitchs playing is tasteful,
taking a more rhythmic role when needed or playing sweet, smooth melodic lines that compliment
each song in musical and interesting ways.
Tim Chavura -
Drums and Percussion
Tim is the engine that runs
the band and his rich technique
builds a rhythmic tapestry
behind which the band plays.
Ranging from tasteful jazz
and pop rock beats to complex
funk grooves, Tims playing is
musical and exciting.
Ben Grace -
Keyboards, Backing Vocals
Ben joined the band in 2006.
His ear for tasteful sounds has brought a whole new texture
and musicality to the bands live sound and studio work.
His knowledge of style and theory makes him the perfect addition
to the band and will contribute
to the bands expanding
musical vision.
