It's Hard to Face the Facts

Fine Young Thieves is a four-piece alternative rock band from Griffith NSW, formed in early 2009. The band was formed by bassist Jeremy Fox and guitarist Mathew Booth who were tired of the lack of a local music scene. They quickly added Simon Taprell to the lineup impressed by his passion for music and his unique vocal sound. Their first performance was as an acoustic cover band at the 2009 Youth Week celebrations, followed shortly by a performance headlining the Youth Stage at Griffith's La Festa Easter celebrations. The band quickly became known and embraced for their passionate performances and onstage interactions making the audience feel truly involved. Drummer Travis McGregor was soon added in June completing the lineup, and the band became focused on writing original material and developing their own sound. They entered themselves in the 2009 Global Battle of the bands debuting three of their new songs at the Saloon Bar in Wagga. Because of their overwhelming stage presence and original sound, they became regional finalists having only after one performance as a complete band. They played the Basement in Canberra and were received well as an alternative for much of today's sound-the-same rock. The band completed their debut EP, Raid the Nest, in October 2009. It contains six tracks of original material with all members of the band contributing to the writing process and the finished sound of the recordings.
Band/artist history
See Band Introduction
Have you performed in front of an audience?
We play everywhere we can for whatever reason (houseparties, pubs, clubs). We were regional finalists in the 2009 Global Battle of the Bands where we met some other cool bands that we remain close to...definitely a highlight
Your musical influences
Mostly 90's punk/alternative rock...Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Silverchair, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam
What equipment do you use?
I wouldn't have a clue what the others use...I think our drummer has some ridiculous Ashton kit, and I know marshall amps are involved somewhere...I use a Warwick Corvette Six String Bass (left handed), an Ibanez SDGR four string (LH) and a fender rumble 100w
