VANLUSTBADER

Shane - Vocals / Guitar, Terry - Guitar/ Vocals, Paul - Bass, John - Drums...Van Morrison, Van Halen, Van der Graaf Generator, Vanlustbäder.Dragged up in Brisbane, Australia, (the same backwaters that gave the world that country's two most critically loved bands, 'The Saints' and 'The Go-Betweens'), these boys fuse rock, indie and punk in a way that will leave your jaw well and truly dropped.Incredible things have already been achieved in Australia, including tour dates with fellow countrymen Jet, selling out the first pressing of the EP independently (5000 copies) and having three (out of five) tracks from their debut EP play-listed on high rotation on Triple J (Australia's Radio 1). Which led Brit Producer Jim Abbiss (Kasabian, Placebo, The Music, Editors, Ladytron and DJ Shadow) to hot-footed it over to Oz, determined to work his magic on the album The People Vs Vanlustbäder. The boys are no strangers to hard times in their quest for rock n' roll stardom; the band share twin bunk beds in their one bedroom South London HQ, they built their own public house in the front room called 'The Cocks Head' and have been known to self-supply their rider with liquid meals that are given to hospital patients, "An anonymous donor" says a deadpan Shane. Oh, and they once left Paul in Birmingham with just a pair of skeleton gloves to keep him warm! You have been warned...
