All about the Blow Waves

// July 18th, 2008 // No Comments » // news

band_cutFusing electro pop with a touch of cock rock, the Blow Wave’s have been described as punchy, rocky, disco, camp and full of punk attitude.

The Blow Waves are; Vocals – Matt Doll, Guitars – Jamie Wave, Keyboards – Byron St John, Bass – John Pants, and Drums – Jezz Beat.

The Blow Waves first performed together at a music festival in South Australia in 2006 and they haven’t stopped since. After playing at the famous Sydney Mardi Gras in 2008 and pounding the live circuit around the country, the band toured internationally in 2009 playing at the World Outgames in Copenhagen, the Manchester Pride Festival and a whole bunch of side shows in London and Berlin.

“The performance is a raunchy trashfest, and is epitomised by the band’s desire to have random underwear to be thrown at them while playing. Musically, every song has a simple, amazingly catchy hook, mostly in the form of sexy riffs that make the stripping of one’s clothes seam like the only way… Thus it is fair to say that if one were to have a trashy party, one would desire The Blow Waves to provide the live entertainment.” – Inpress Magazine
