Release Notes:
The Breed : Fab, Far-out and Groovy!
Originally founded in 1992, and first playing in
public from 1993 to 1996, The Breed was started in
Hobart, Tasmania (Australia's "Island State") and
featured the talents of Wayne (guitars) and Steve
"B&Massa" J (bass - it's pronounced BAND-mass-uh, by
the way). The current lineup of Wayne, Steve
"B&Massa" J (bass) and Steve B (drums) was reformed
in 2005 out of the ashes of the original lineup
(Wayne and Steve J) and The Fabs (Wayne and Steve
B).
The Breed plays a blend of aggressive 60s powerpop,
mod revival, classic garage and melodic punk. This
is unashamedly music for the neck, down. Beat,
melody and energy are all you need for a good night
out, leave the art at home.
The Breed are:
Wayne (Guitar & Vocals):
Wayne has played guitar all his life and loves 60s
music. He has an LP collection that would require a
semi-trailer to move (almost!) and has played in a
number of Tasmanian bands including the long-running
and successful Magnificent Seven, The Breed Mk1 and
The Fabs. Wayne's energy on stage, and rhythm-lead
playing style, enables him to carry off a full
sound, even in solos. His vocal style is in keeping
with the 60s influences, but carries a modern
flavour equally as well. Wayne is the main song-
writer.
Steve J (Bass & Vocals):
Steve J is a punk Peter Pan, refusing to grow up,
worshiping both the Sex Pistols and Green Day, but
loving all melodic, fast and loud rock from all
eras. He brings a spirit of fun and adventure to the
music with simple, solid bass lines and strong vocal
harmonies. Steve J has an online solo career on the
side as "B&Massa" (pronounced BAND-mass-uh),
creating diverse styles and sounds from electro,
through reggae to punk and progressive rock,
delivering two bottom selling albums in the last two
years. He also contributes originals. The Breed is
Steve's favourite band, both musically and for its
members. He is also responsible for bringing The
Breed's videos to DVD.
Steve B (Drums & Vocals):
A tonal artist, music teacher and Beatles fanatic,
Steve B is almost melodic in his approach to drums.
His style is diverse, one minute tapping a delicate
counterpoint to a sixties classic, the next rolling
a thunderous brit-pop explosion.
Steve's harmonies are rich and high, bringing a
depth and texture even keyboards struggle to match.
When not bashing the skins in dimly lit rooms, Steve
B is teaching the next generation's rhythm section
how to do it right. He also paints, and was a
finalist in the 1998 Archibald Prize.
