Damien Thornber and the Orphans

What are we? Well, someone described us once as a ‘fusion; art, music, media, band for Charity’

Our purpose is to create awareness about the inconceivable suffering of many millions of humans (especially children that neither deserve nor can change their conditions) due to poor economic situations around the world; who it is that really suffers; and what a huge difference a small effort on our part can make!

We would like to think that we are part of a new popular culture of the west, ‘the 21st century conscience’. We hope to stimulate you visually, move you emotionally, provoke you artistically, sooth you audibly and motivate you to action with an awareness that will create for you what it has for us: a deep sense of gratitude for our fortunate conditions and a sense of purpose through service.

We believe that poverty can end!

The band is a cross section of fortunate Australians with a strong sense of gratitude for the benefits we enjoy in a prosperous country such as ours. We recognise our circumstance and conditions as among the best in the world and feel a deep sense of debt and a calling to serve the less fortunate. We are a mix of professionals and students with careers and futures in the world, and a belief in an ideal: that we can make a difference.
