Pokerface are basically three guys who love to play and love to be on stage, Spawning from different bands of different genres we have blended together to create the sound that we wanted to acheive. A mixture of Funk, Rock and classic Rock that will tempt the tastebuds and tap your toes. Pokerface has supported some great bands such as Byron Bays The Very Unique Existence and Sydney’s The Third Cycle. Always looking for a good time keep your eyes open for the band that encourages people to dance!
CHALLENGE ONE:
SHOUT: If you ever won an ARIA Award who would you give a SHOUT out to and why?
If I was ever lucky enough to win an Aria, I would give a shout out to my father and step mother. All the support, guidance and encouragement they have provided me with my pursuits with the band. I would like to thank them for their tolerance, patience and selflessness. For the lessons, expenses, equipment, and car trips. It is because of them, I have been able to pursue my love of music. However I'd like to apologise for every episode of Home & Away and Neighbours that was disrupted by the thunderous drums, bellowing bass and howling guitar poundings its way from my room every Monday and Thursday night to their kitchen. Strangely enough they both learnt to lip read so they could follow the plot of every thrilling dilemma in Summer Bay and Ramsay Street. Without there support and assistance we wouldn’t have accomplished what we have. I am forever grateful for the opportunities they have given me and all they have gone without to do so.
CHALLENGE TWO:
SHARE: Send us a link to your band’s MySpace so we can hear you rock. If you have a specific track you would like us to hear, make sure you let us know which one it is!
