Four mates from neighbouring schools in Melbourne had just formed a band and to celebrate they adopted a mascot from the local pound – a beagle named Masketta. Playing fetch at the beach, an exuberant stick toss sent Masketta bounding towards the edge of a small cliff … and over. That was a Masketta Fall. Luckily, the puppy was fine and the guys got a name for their band.
We’ll get to the mangoes soon.
Masketta Fall is a classic rock n roll high school story. Jamie brought a drum kit to a 16th birthday party and was spotted by Ben playing to an Aerosmith song. Braden and Jamie were schoolmates and had already been jamming together. Moli was recruited on guitar because a) he was good and b) they figured he could be the ‘good looking one.’ Starting on a diet of Green Day, Sum 41 and Blink 182 the guys quickly started to include their own songs as well.
All four bring something to the table: their own distinct personalities and commitment to hard work. Braden, Moli, Jamie and Ben decided early on that there were no short cuts - no reality shows or Youtube hype – for them the most important thing was to get out and play. When they sold out their very first gig in Melbourne the guys knew they were onto something special.
“We met all these kids that had bought a ticket to our show,” says Ben. “They’d even made banners, which blew our minds. That was a pretty big moment for us.”
“Since then we’ve always tried to get out and meet our fans, and make new fans, whenever we can,” adds Jamie.
The hard work started to pay off pretty quickly; there have been shows with You Me At Six and American Authors, and even a spot on the Warped Tour last year.
“That was awesome, we high fived Dexter from The Offspring and hung out with Simple Plan, not something you get to do every day!” says Moli.
Now it’s getting even more hectic, with a record deal signed with Universal Music. “It’s been crazy,” says Ben. “When we got signed to Universal our celebration went for three days and included incidents that can never be repeated!”
Most importantly there’s the music. Masketta Fall’s aesthetic is fun and energetic: played like only a band that’s done the hard yards can play. This is epitomised by their brand new single ‘Summertime Girls.’
Ben explains:
‘We had a day off on the Gold Coast on one of our tours and we wanted to write a song about that whole scene. So we grabbed our guitars, bought a massive box of mangoes from some guy for 15 bucks and hit the beach. After checking things out, the inspiration for ‘Summertime Girls’ came pretty quickly. They were literally all around us!”
‘Summertime Girls’ is a perfectly crafted pop song that rolls out good time vibes without labouring the point; with just enough sting in its tail to add some extra depth. It’s the sort of tune that will attach itself to summer memories that haven’t even been made yet.
And with Masketta Fall now in full swing, there’s going to be some big times ahead.
Masketta Fall is: Braden – vocals, Jamie – drums, Moli – guitar, and Ben – guitar/vocals. ‘Summertime Girls’ is out now on Universal Music.

We know she never trusted you
But when hours feel like days
Even she can't change the tragic hole she's made
I swear you're still tied down held underneath
Despite the loveless games you play
Theres no fiction here it's just the same old story.
We know she's lying
And even when autumn comes you till cant see the forest from the love.
I swear you're still tied down held underneath
Despite the loveless games you play
Theres no fiction here it's just the same old story.
You're flying high on cloud nine
Next thing you know you're heading for the ground
So turn and take a bow to a audience in disbelief
You're flying high on cloud nine
But once again you take a dive
So turn and take a bow to a audience in disbelief
The audience in disbelief of you,
Of you,
Disbelief of you.
We know she's lying
But when hours feel like days, even she can't change
We know it's all her fault,
The tragic hole she's made.
So haven't you heard once again
We know she never trusted you
But when hours feel like days
You're flying high, you're flying high
You're flying high on cloud nine
Next thing you know you're heading for the ground
So turn and take a bow to a audience in disbelief
You're flying high on cloud nine
Next thing you know you're heading for the ground
To a audience in disbelief
You're flying high, you're flying high
Next thing you know you're heading for the ground
To a audience in disbelief
You're flying high, you're flying high
But once again you take a dive
So turn and take a bow to a audience in disbelief,
The audience in disbelief of you.
End
The song "Cloud Nine" by Masketta Fall is about the rollercoaster of emotions experienced in a toxic relationship. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer is in a relationship with someone who is untrustworthy and loveless. Despite this, the singer still feels tied down to the relationship and unable to let go. The chorus suggests that the singer is flying high and feeling good, but this feeling is short-lived as they come crashing down to the ground. The audience in disbelief represents those witnessing the ups and downs of the relationship and unable to rationalize the singer's actions.
The lyrics use vivid imagery to convey the emotions of the singer. The line "even when autumn comes you still can't see the forest from the love" suggests that the singer is so deeply in love that they can't see the bigger picture. The repetition of "flying high on cloud nine" emphasizes the euphoric feeling of being in love, while the repetition of "the audience in disbelief of you" highlights the erratic behavior that the singer is exhibiting.
Overall, "Cloud Nine" is a powerful commentary on the emotional turmoil of a toxic relationship. It highlights the ups and downs of being in love with someone who is untrustworthy and unloving, and the difficulty of breaking free from the cycle of abuse.

So haven't you heard once again
Have you not heard this before, once again?
We know she never trusted you
We are aware that she never trusted you
But when hours feel like days
When time seems to slow down to an unbearable extent
Even she can't change the tragic hole she's made
Not even she can undo the damage she has caused
I swear you're still tied down held underneath
I assure you that you are still trapped and unable to escape
Despite the loveless games you play
Even though you engage in loveless behavior
Theres no fiction here it's just the same old story.
This is not a made-up tale, it's just the same old story
We know she's lying
We are aware that she is not telling the truth
You're self destructive in frozen time
You are causing harm to yourself while time stands still
And even when autumn comes you still can't see the forest from the love.
Even when it is clear and obvious, you cannot see the truth through your love for her
You're flying high on cloud nine
You are overwhelmingly happy and blissful
Next thing you know you're heading for the ground
In the blink of an eye, your happiness fades and you crash down
So turn and take a bow to a audience in disbelief
Acknowledge your fall from grace in front of a shocked audience
The audience in disbelief of you,
The audience cannot believe what has happened to you
Of you,
Of you
We know she's lying
We are aware that she is not telling the truth
But when hours feel like days, even she can't change
When time seems to slow down to an unbearable extent, even she cannot undo the damage
We know it's all her fault,
We know that she is responsible for what has happened
You're flying high, you're flying high
You are overwhelmingly happy and blissful
To a audience in disbelief
In front of an audience who cannot believe what has happened
Next thing you know you're heading for the ground
In the blink of an eye, your happiness fades and you crash down
You're flying high, you're flying high
You are overwhelmingly happy and blissful
But once again you take a dive
Once again, you experience a setback
So turn and take a bow to a audience in disbelief,
Acknowledge your fall from grace in front of a shocked audience
The audience in disbelief of you.
The audience cannot believe what has happened to you
