The Stages Of

About Me


The Stages Of were formed in mid 2005 by guitarist Aaron Sokolic and drummer Matt Large. They started off playing covers and getting used to each other’s musical idiosyncrasies, but once they felt they were established they began writing their own original songs.
The Stages Of play some form of Alt. Rock but have influences from many genres and bands including The Mars Volta, Led Zeppelin, The Cure, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Rage Against The Machine.
One unique factor about the band is that all different styles and techniques are drawn from in the writing of their music as all of the members play other instruments and styles, like Jazz and Classical, and bring their own experience to the music.
The line up consists of Aaron on lead guitar, Matt on drums, David De Thomasis on vocals and rhythm guitar and Leon Smith on bass guitar. David and Leon also play Trumpet; Matt plays the Saxophone, while Aaron also plays Violin and Double Bass.
The Stages Of started off playing at various private functions, but now are playing gigs around the Melbourne circuit.
The Stages Of recently recorded a 3 song demo at MG Studios where they had one day of recording time.
