Jackson McLaren

Jackson Bard McLaren was born well after many of the classic albums that first inspired him were released. His parents raised him in the small Victorian country town of Warrnambool on a steady diet consisting of the likes of Bob Dylan, Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen. This musical baptism fuelled his early passion for music, and set him apart from most of the other kids in town who were more focused on footy than on music, poetry or literature.

Stickleback

The story behind the Stickleback project is one of shifting compromises. Songwriter Ronnie Duisters' musical carreer started out with playing the clarinet in the local orchestra, due to a shortage of available saxophones. Even though his dream had to take a detour, he tried to learn as much as possible and developed quite a taste for melody. Especially dramatic and emotional musical pieces had his preference.

Darren Sylvester

Darren Sylvester is an accomplished Melbourne visual artist and photographer turning his efforts to brilliant 80's inspired synth pop. He draws much inspiration from New Order, but there is much to be found in his self titled debut album such as the heartbraking wall of sound tribute found in the song 'Phil Spector'. Darren will be one to watch in 2010 having gone relatively undiscovered in 2009 which is amazing given the man has such talent.

Nine Sons of Dan

The Nine Sons Of Dan are an alternate pop-rock group, based in Surfers Paradise, QLD and Coffs Harbour, NSW. Nine Sons Of Dan formed during mid 2008, as a result of drummer Morgan Blake’s need for an engineering project for his university studies.

The group began writing in the Gold Coast, where Alex and Morgan currently study.
