1.Growing Up

Music has always played a major part in our lives growing up. We have an annual family reunion called Stitt Fest where every year we all take turns at hosting from Sydney to Perth, to Coffs and the Hunter. It’s pretty much just a weekend of family time, eating, drinking and making music. It’s really cool to join all the generations in the family through music.

2. Inspirations

Mario Kart – no explanation needed. Stevie Wonder – he’s just the complete musician, songwriter and human being. He has inspired the three of us since the day we heard him. James Blake was probably the main inspiration in our evolution to where we are now musically. Rage Against The Machine for their energy and huge sound. Daniel Johns is our homegrown hero – Silverchair inspired us as teenagers (particularly Diorama) and now his new solo stuff has really been a huge influence on our sound, along with Jarryd James, Meg Mac, Katie Noonan, Banks… ahh, too many to recall them all.

3. Your Band

We are a trio of cousins who create soulful electronic pop music. The three of us have been writing music for the past 13 years. We write really well together and always seem to be on the same page artistically, which helps a lot.

4. The Music You Make

We are all about creating soulful music that moves people (well, that’s our aim anyway). We have just released a single called ‘Chase The World’. We collaborated with a super clever producer by the name of Shawn Naderi on this one. We are currently on a national tour launching the new single. People coming to these shows can expect songs with stories and beautifully haunting melodies paired with a five-piece monster outfit of gifted musicians giving their all to a backdrop of soulful, electronic beats and basslines.

5. Music, Right Here, Right Now

The music scene in Sydney is interesting. There’s a lot happening but it’s so spread out that unless you really know where to go to, it can seem like there’s not a lot out there at all – unlike other cities/countries like New Orleans, where you know if you head to Bourbon Street or Frenchmen Street you will find live music in every building. There’s a lot of crappy stuff out there on the radio, yes, but that kinda makes it so much more thrilling when you come across a beauty! The best thing about our local scene is that there is always someone new to meet. There are so many great musicians in Sydney, it makes it easy to stay inspired. There’s an awesome jam at The Basement every Monday night, which is a great place to hang/meet new musos.
