Whereas Urkell had to gate crash the Winslow home, Shiny is all about keeping the door open for new additions to the family. We are so excited about the prospect of Motherhood, and consequently we have adopted 3 new bands: DUNE RATS, BETTY AIRS & THE MANK

DUNE RATS: You have probably heard “Pogo” bouncing around on Triple J, and this is just a small taste of what is to come from Brisbane’s DUNE RATS! Their debut EP ‘Sexy Beach’ combined cheeky tunes with the aesthetics of Baywatch, and their latest EP ‘Social Atoms’ is even tastier than a hamburger is to Hasselhoff. Mixed & Mastered by Simon Berkfinger from the Philly Jays, ‘Social Atoms’ is going to get your pulse racing faster than high intensity aerobics!

BETTY AIRS: If you have found yourself wondering what Darren from Gerling is up to, then let it be known that he has teamed up with Michael, Christian and most recently Patrick (The Vines/Youthgroup) to form the chaotic, spontaneous and downright radical band BETTY AIRS. Their EP “Creepin’ it real” encapsulated the fifties fun of surf guitar and turned it on its head with the punk ferocity of champions. Veronica may have defeated Betty for Archie’s affections, but with a new single on its way and an east coast tour on the horizon, BETTY AIRS is sure to have you declaring “She’s the Juan!”

THE MANK: The Sunshine Coast might be home to the Big Pineapple, but their latest mark on the map is much louder than a bright yellow, giant piece of fruit. Big beat, down beat, groovin’ hip-hop  – trying to genre define THE MANK is like trying to tell the difference between fructose and glucose  (either way it’s all damn good).  Mellow as a beer at breakfast, and bold as sunglasses at night, THE MANK are pushing it to the edge and are up for a challenge with a jam packed few months ahead!
