Bio
Now, let's see...where to start...Oh YEAH!
Two Australian school friends achieve their life long dream of forming a band that screams hell-fire Aussie rock circa '77 and resonates with the harmonies of West Coast Sunshine-Pop all over raw 'n' rowdy, Rock n' Roll. They enter the Queensland Unearthed Competition sponsored by Australia's biggest radio station Triple J and beat over 1,500 bands to win the number one spot. American icons BLONDIE hand pick the band to open for 'em when they tour Australia and they're off on an amazing tour!
Soon thereafter, they get asked to play THE biggest music festival in Australia, Big Day Out and their single Butter is added into rotation at commercial radio.
This, of course, leads to Shifter being discovered by Boo Management - one of the most successful management companies in the USA. Naturally, the Aussie government supports the band, helps fly them to the US to tour from Los Angeles to New York and back again, and of course stopping on the way to take in SXSW where they blew away an unsuspecting music industry.
Now take a breath, as this is just the start. The boys fly home where they're invited to play Australia's most popular late night variety show, ROVE LIVE. Then they're asked to open for BLACK SABBATH!! The band are continuing to tour the globe while writing new songs and recording their debut full length album with renowned producer Rob Feaster. Phew!
