About Me

Near Your House are five middle-class males (there ain't no Other) delivering an art-rock sound thatcombines banging post-punk grooves with the puzzling lyrics and bizarre stage antics of front man, Benjamin Teicher. Thequestion for you is: can you dance and scratch your head at the same time? The raucous response to recent shows at The Espy, Miss Libertine, The Evelyn, Pony, Ding Dong, Bar Open and the Rob Roy suggests that, yes, you can.

"Near Your House's songs hum with an infectious post-punk energy [that] will surely put them at the forefront of Melbourne's burgeoning scene."
-Alexander Maxwell, Beat Magazine
"Near Your House have stayed with me in subsequent days like a girl I didn't have the guts to speak to at a party... Drop whatever it is you are doing and get to where these soon to be rock gods are doing us the honour of performing."
-Tony McMahon, Inpress
