Natasha Holmes
Vocals / Guitar

Sitting somewhere between Avril Lavigne, Sheryl Crow and The Superjesus, Sydney artist Natasha Holmes is the real deal - a singer, songwriter and guitarist.

Check out the first track, Dear Diary - a bonafide rock-pop hit with mega mainstream radio appeal. It's hooky enough for the pop audience, gritty enough for the rock fans and just quirky enough to get you interested in the person behind the tune. The next two tracks expand on the theme - a gentle ballad, then a bluesy rockout.

For more info, call Natasha direct on 0410 564 783 or Chartsong on (07) 3351 4110.

 

Melinda Allen
Bass

Melinda had her first guitar lesson at the age of nine as she realised air guitar was not as much fun as the real thing. After being inspired by amazing music teachers including the likes of Colin Buchanan (6 time Golden Guitar winner and Play School co-host) Melinda went on to study music and piano through to HSC.

With dreams of being an audio engineer Melinda carried out work experience with SAE and Lightfoot Sound. Melinda soon found work with Sydney based company Charecter Connexions as a Production Co-ordinator, working on live character shows for the likes of Marvel Comics chracters (Spiderman, Spidergirl, Captain America, and Wolverine) around the country. Melinda is currently working in Local Government as an Event and Education Co-ordinator.

 

 


 

Melinda has been an avid supporter of the local music scene in Sydney and considers herself fortunate to have formed friendships with many talented musicians and artists who have inspired and given hope. Melinda played bass & ryhthm guitar for Sydney band Praline for most of 2002.

 

Beck Morris
Drums

Ever since the age of 2 Rebeccah has been bashing on anything she can. She formally started having drum lessons at the age of seven and has never looked back!
Growing up in a musical school, Rebeccah was involved in every musical ensemble available including Concert Band, Senior and Junior orchestra, Choir, Wind Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, and Jazz Band, thus laying the foundations and musical knowledge of almost every style of music.

After winning a music scholarship to the Central Coast Grammar School in high school, Rebeccah also studied guitar, piano, trumpet and conducting, although drumkit and percussion always took priority.

In 1999 Rebeccah graduated from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music with a Bachelor of Music (Hons) and was awarded 'Young Performer of the Year' by the Zonta Organisation.

Rebeccah has been involved in a number of Rock, Jazz and Fusion bands and is also a freelance percussionist. Currently Rebeccah's day job involves conducting a number of School Concert Bands and giving private tuition. By night she divides her talents between two all female Rock Band which give her all the inspiration needed to become a Rockstar!
