With Danny (Bass) and Shannon (Keys) growing up on the north coast with a lifestyle of surfing and skating, the boys found a passion for jazz and funk music passed on by their musical Dad and after hearing their cousin Laura sing for the first time on a family holiday it created a dream they had to pursue of one day moving to Sydney and starting a band together. Laura would find tapes of song ideas in the letter box at her northern beaches home in Sydney and would add melody and lyrics, waiting until the next time the families got together to create the final products.

After years of long distance writing together the boys joined Laura in Sydney where the band recorded an EP 'Originate'. The EP propelled the band around the Sydney scene and led to an appearance on national television as part of the Logie award winning series 'All Saints' where the band performed two songs off the EP 'Why' and the track that opened the show, 'Dreamland'.

It's been a long wait but after more shows and heap of touring the band have just released their self titled debut album through Vitamin Records which was launched in June 2010 to a sell out crowd at one of Sydney's most prestigious live music venues, The Basement. The album involves some of the most recognised musicians in the industry and so do their live shows with the band playing regularly as a six piece all over Australia. Within months of its release, tracks off the album have been receiving airplay on Triple J and various community radio stations across Australia.

Uncle Jed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You′re the light, you're the night
You′re the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You′re the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

You′re the fear, I don't care
Cause I′ve never been so high

Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

So love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I′ll let you set the pace
Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can′t see clear no more
What are you waiting for?

I rarely like covers but this one is just sooo good. 👏

Spliffler rs

covers can definitely bring a different light to nearly any song, I like Leo Moracchioli for his metal/rock covers of normal songs, or fame on fire for their "rock" covers. Also, First to eleven, she has such a beautiful voice.
