The Audreys are an Australian five-piece blues/roots band who formed in Adelaide, South Australia in 2004. Their debut album, Between Last Night and Us saw them collect the 2006 ARIA Award for Best Blues & Roots Album. Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Taasha Coates says it took her and fellow songwriter/guitarist Tristan Goodall an age to get back to writing: “We were just a little Adelaide band that made an album, then suddenly we were touring constantly and playing on bigger and bigger stages…It was all so overwhelming and took up so much of our time that is was 18 months before we wrote another song.” The five-piece comprises Tristan Coates (voice, piano, melodica, ukulele), Taasha Goodall (acoustic and electric guitars, banjo), Michael Green (violin, lap steel, backing vocals), Lyndon Gray (upright and electric bass) and Toby Lang (drums). website: www.theaudreys.com.au |
