Biography

The Basics -- you either get them or you don't.

They are unconventional, true enough. Fellow Australian band Palorus Jack describe them best as "45 years behind, but a million years ahead". Simone Ubaldi of Beat Magazine recognises the same paradox when she writes "they play 60s-cast retro rock, sure, but they play it like they invented it".

With their "forward-thinking-while-looking-back" sound, The Basics are a band at odds with the current Australian music scene. Perhaps it is naïve arrogance, but they continue to defy accepted notions of originality.

They are acknowledged as "the feel-good sensation of the year", "inspirational", "immensely talented" and "faultless". They have recently toured Japan, Norway and the UK – three countries now enamored with The Basics’ enthusiastic approach, their stories of love and loss, wonderfully tailored appearance and the cleverly arranged three-part harmony work that underpins their songs.
