The Creep Outs

My first proper band, though we never played any shows. In Andrew Andreson's (The Hipshakes, Proto Idiot) parent's garage i learnt to scream and express myself playing detuned guitars and bad drums.

First venture into a country influenced sound which would form all future albums. Majorly influenced upon hearing 'With The Godsin Brothers' or 'Echoes' as it's sometimes known, by Gene Clark.

We thought at the time that we would never recording anything as good as 'Hopeless Friends' again.

We put 4 songs onto myspace and were contacted by a really cool Austrailian Label in Melbourne called Off The Hip Records. They said 'if you have another 10 songs as good as the ones on myspace we'll put out your record'! We sent them all of our songs and a few months later our first album was released. Amazing! I thought releasing records was easy but after this i didn't find a label for my other bands for almost 7 years.
