SPEEDRACER

SPEEDRACER was a musical concept developed by friends, which initially began in early 2005. Their aim was to create new & original Hard Rock music. SPEEDRACER has now evolved into one of Brisbane's hottest up and coming hard rock bands and have been gigging on the live music circuit since May 2006. They have quickly become a favourite on the local music scene. Their debut EP titled "Sideshow Alley" produced by Nik Carpenter (Core Studios) & mastered by Matthew Gray has been independently released & is currently available for purchase at all shows. Described as "Classic Rock that beautifully steals the dissonance of grunge", their music is a unique blend of brutally funky hard rock with dynamic vocals, emotive lyrics and highly-charged live shows – truly a rock experience unlike any other. Painstakingly passionate about their music, SPEEDRACER have stayed true to their vision and together they form a musical monster that is often imitated but never duplicated. SPEEDRACER is truly a ride you don't want to miss!!!***************************************************** ************************************************************ *********** SPEEDRACER have supported bands such as ROSE TATTOO, Body Jar, Rollerball, Resin Dogs, Butterfingers, The Winnie Coopers, Mia Carla, Fort (NSW), Sleep Parade (VIC), Tinman (VIC), Dreamkillers, Mortal Sin (NSW), Lawless Breed (NSW), ACCA DACCA (Internationally acclaimed AC/DC tribute band), Winnebago Deal (UK) and have played alongside well known locals such as Chick Flick, Edge of Earth, Dead Day Sun (now Ruby Tigers), Acid Theory, Each Revolving Door, Ceremony, The Eighth Colour, and AsWeAre.They have performed live & had an interview appear live on Bris 31 Channel on Alive in Oz show.Received airplay on Triple J 107.7fm radio – Andrew Haug’s show – Full Metal Racket.One of 9 Finalists in the LOUD 08 Band Competition (out of approx 180 bands from Brisbane, Gold Coast & Sunshine Coast).
