Mondays Not Home is at this time a pair of 15 year old lads from Warrnambool in country Victoria, Australia. The sound from these boys is definitely NOT country
'Mondays Not Home' formed in May 2008 The band currently consists of 15 year old Travis McCarthy and Daniel Farrell. The lads hail from Victoria Australia and have been hammering out songs together for the last year or so.
The result being that 'Mondays Not Home' have recently recorded two new songs.
"Windows" is currently released here on Soundclick and other Internet music sites.
"B.C.ause You Asked Me To", a deeply heartfelt ballad that reaches into the psyche of today's youth, is due for release late May.
An earlier recording 'Leaving' will be added here soon.
The song 'Windows' was written by Daniel as a tribute to his younger brother Kiaren Grae who appears as the main character in the true to life video that was created for the song. This film clip is aimed at raising awareness about organ donation registration. Kiaren is currently on the list for a liver transplant.
A powerful blend of Power Pop with a punk edge and a strong hooky beat hammered out by a great drummer are the elements of the song that will grab your attention immediately.
Farrell's distinctive vocal weaves through the guitar sounds with a skill that belies his years. In 'Windows' Many listeners have commented on the lyrical strength that slams home the storyline.
McCarthy excels in the acoustic guitar department on 'Windows', if you wait a while you will also hear his work with electric guitar on some of the
new pieces.
The current duo is supported by some awesome backing from a great set of accomplished musicians. All this is topped of with the well known production and engineering skills of David Pendragon.
The other musicians appearing on 'Windows' are:
DRUMS: Donovan Gall
Rhythm and lead electric guitar: Mike Foster
Bass Guitar: Stephanie Krowka
The band also thanks Micheal Corsini and Rob Grant for bass playing on versions of "B.Cause you asked"

Hey Guys... This is just a fantastic song...I've loved it since the very first time I heard the all acoustic version. It was a priviledge to be asked to play all the electric guitars on this song...the cause of raising public awareness about the need for people to be liver donors hits very close to home for me...and Stephanie also thanks you for the opportunity you guys gave her to play the bass on this one as well. We think this song came out pretty well...and the best news of all is that Kiaren is doing so well. Thanks again...and keep on writing and keep on rocking! Hugs...Mike (NAV)
