The Fat Angel Sings

The Sons Of The East sound is a melting pot of diverse indie sounds and sundry folk melodies; a multifarious and motley mix of banjo, organ, piano, guitar, stirring harmonies and occasional didgeridoo. The result is an alternative folk sound that draws on truly eclectic influences from far and wide, but somehow winds up feeling like home. SOTE have amassed over 1 million views across their first 5 track EP , their first single, ‘Hold On’. The new EP ‘Already Gone’ features new single ‘Into The Sun’ and proves to be an exciting taste of what’s to come.

Sons of the East is an indie-folk band from Sydney, Australia consisting of Jack Rollins, who once tamed an emu; Nic Johnston, the guy who is without a doubt the best at finding short cuts; and Dan Wallage, whose hair was once described by David Attenborough as ‘the single greatest organism to ever grace the earth’.

Forming in late 2011, these gentlemen have made their way around Australia, from Sydney’s best live music venues to a camel farm in Uluru. Their sound is a saucy, heterogeneous melting pot of diverse indie sounds and sundry folk melodies; a multifarious and motley mix of banjo, organ, piano, guitar, stirring harmonies and the occasional didgeridoo. The result is a modern, alternative folk sound that draws on truly eclectic influences from far and wide, but somehow winds up feeling like home.

Sons of the East pride themselves on their rowdy, raucous and oh so rambunctious live shows, working off what they call the ‘tear-jerkers’ and the ‘boot-stompers’. They’ve been doing this quite successfully, so much so that its gathered them local and international attention from radio stations, websites and blogs, and plenty of venues and festivals across Australia. The band recently signed with The Agency Group in North America will release their second EP in 2015.
