You probably think that you’ve never heard of these guys before, but with gigs such as the Sydney Olympic Games Opening Ceremony behind them chance are you have… and that’s just the beginning.
So guys tell me a little about yourselves. “We’re 2 brothers who live in the blue mountains. You would know us from singing the ‘Home and Away’ theme or working on ‘Australian Idol’ as the backing singers or even if we’re lucky you know some of our past singles???? Geoff is the older brother he plays guitar and piano, Ben plays drums and guitar.”
As brothers who perform together have you had any Gallagher brother style moments? “We have been playing for about 12 years now. sometimes it’s difficult being brothers everything is bens fault though cause his the youngest.”
Your album sounds great, how do you describe your sound? “(gay) Hee hee. Very 70′s Bee Gees, America , Seals n Croft , Doobie Brothers”
So tell us about your new album. “It’s called ‘Flight 1974’. We have written a bunch of songs in the style of the 70′s. We tried to make it sound like it was recorded back then.” What was the process like putting it together? “It was long but much fun. We ended up in Nashville writing and we recorded the whole album with a great producer song writer call Bobby Boyd. He has had many American number one hits including ‘Bless This Broken Road’ for Rascal Flatts.’
You’re band has already found success, you regularly play to large crowds overseas. What goals do you have left? “Number 1 short term goals number 1 long term goals to be rich. Hee hee. Na just kidding. To be able to do what we love for a living. It’s a hard game.”
