The band came to be from seeking blues and roots of the greats from an early age when exposed to musicians such as Peter Green, Otis Redding and Ray Charles. The boys would watch closely in awe as their teacher, Sam Linton Smith, performed at St. Andrews pub on a Sunday, the very same St. Andrews in which Josh and Sam Teskey set up to busk as boys. Thus began the musical convergence of Warrandyte Blues-Soul and everything in between. And when brought to Melbourne CBD, people actually move to live music – a phenomenon that’s camera worthy.
Josh Teskey fronts the band with his smooth vocals and rhythm guitar. Evocative of Donny Hathaway, Teskey reaches out to play with his audience, ushering them through the emotional room of each song’s mind with airs of love, ardor and desire; creating an atmosphere you thought you were born too late to ever experience.
Joined by Sam Teskey on lead guitar and backing vocals, these brothers will have you rocking from side to side until you’re dancing, and then giggling at the absolute sublimity of the moment. Teskey will have you pink cheeked and stress free with his flirtatious solos and flattering, fatherly tones.
Along with the Teskeys, you’ll find the unflustered Brendon Love on bass. His instinctive and cool, calm and collected nature is what drives the hips of the audience and transports the energy in and out of high spirit to deep soul. Love is love, and love is bass.
Liam Gough completes the ensemble with his metronomic technique and veteran beat keeping. Gough’s talent effectuates the amalgamation of funk and blues, inspiring the music itself by teasing the fluidity with his heartfelt punctilious pulse. This drummer might as well be the only drummer you know.
Through gifts bestowed upon the family (and farm-ily) band, such as; BB King, Albert Collins, Jimi Hendrix and Marvin Gaye, they share with us city dwellers dynamics within a live sound that only clean country air and years of diverse varieties of live gigging can provide, and I’m not just saying that because I’m wearing overalls and ate my chicken.
The Teskey Brothers are an important affirmation of something we have always loved and something we hope to never loose – Home, Rhythm, and Blues.

The Teskey Brothers' song "Pain and Misery" is a soulful ballad about heartbreak and the desperate desire for a lost love to return. The lyrics describe the pain and anguish that the singer has been feeling since their partner left. The opening lines acknowledge the love the singer had for their partner and the impact it had on them from the moment they laid eyes on them. However, the feelings of love that once brought them so high, have now left them in a place of despair that they cannot seem to escape. The chorus repeats the plea for the partner to return to alleviate the pain and misery that has become a constant part of the singer's life.
The second verse expresses a bitter sense of regret for meeting their partner in the first place because the aftermath of their departure has left the singer in a state of constant pain. The bridge speaks of the everyday misery that the singer experiences as a result of the heartbreak that has caused them to lose the person that was their best friend. They ask their partner to come back to them and end their despair. The closing lines reiterate the singer's desperation, as they beg for their partner's return, imploring them to love them once again.
