Perry Mason started out as a two-piece consisting of guitarist Wayde* and vocalist Charlie*. Having been in numerous other acts (both as frontmen) the two decided they wanted to take a different approach to the music they were involved in.
Less is more emotion became their motto as they found themselves basing their writing upon a need to simplify the music they were creating. They were inspired for many of the songs they were writing from both past experiences and the ramblings that flowed freely as they bashed their heads together in an old, cold garage in the back of a friends house. Wayde* and Charlie*, then with about 20 solid song ideas, began playing in seedy beer gardens and weird open-mic nights to improve and mature their songs as well as gauge the audiences response.
Having obtained the information they required, and now assured that they would have a real reason to continue writing together, the two decided to form a band and gather together willing musicians to begin turning these songs into a full-band format.
Following a string of drunken nights out on the town, watching other bands performing, gathering a network and finding other willing members, Wayde* and Charlie* stumbled upon two lads by the name of Norfy* and Reece*, another duo act performing under much similar circumstances.
The four began working hard to build solid structures to their songs.
The last addition to the band was Stevie, the fifth member, on drums. With a complete line-up, the band now actively plays around Sydney city with views to head down to Melbourne in the near future.
The band has had a great response from new and old fans alike. Our fan mailing list is solid and growing steadily. Perry Mason has an emotionally charged live show. The five band members are extremely passionate about their songs and it really shows when the lights go on and the curtain pulls open.
