Matters of Fiction

“smooth as, groovy funky and the rest” – XPRESS MAGAZINE
“distinctly groovy pop/rock tunes glazed with addictive funk and catchy melodies” - GROOVE MAGAZINE

Ali Towers, a singer-songwriter from the UK had been writing and recording vocals for DJ Tall Paul to play in Ibiza, playing all over the shop from London to Edinburgh and receiving interest from Virgin and Warner. Ali decided on a holiday to Western Australia to stay, become a Permanent Resident and start afresh after witnessing great bands that inspired him.
So whilst playing solo acoustic shows around Perth and Fremantle, Ali gathered Josh Dyson on guitars and backing Vocals; Tristan Kinnane on the bass and Steve Forth on the drums.

With Ali on vocals, keys and harmonica they became Matters of Fiction in August 2004, a pop/rock band whose sound has been described as Powderfinger meets Wolfmother, a darker Maroon 5, or Jeff Buckley mixed with Sly Stone. The songs are powerful and dynamic, the performance intense and energetic.

Matters of Fiction recorded their first EP at Kingdom Studios using the prize they won for 1st place in the Best of The Best Competition in December 2004. They have performed live in the studios of RTRFM and 96FM and have been playing gigs with the likes of Bordello, Dyslexic Fish, Josivac, Gus and Frank, The Dirty Secrets, Zeta Theory, Monkey Punch, Imprint and the Screwtop Detonators at the Perth Royal Show.
Ali Towers has recently returned from a whirlwind round the world solo tour and now Matters of Fiction are working on preproduction and are set to record a debut album in January.
