The Blow Waves are; Vocals - Matt Doll, Guitars – Jamie Wave, Keyboards – Byron St John, Bass – John Pants, and Drums – Jezz Beat.

Trjaeu

"Trjeau's seamless blend of gloss & moss incorporates analogue keyboards, textured audio and finely sculpted samples that conjure up nature in synthetic form. Originally hailing from Hobart, the connection to Tasmania's wilderness can be heard in the sensuous loops, bizarre beats and a thick bed of organic sounds that meld together in trancelike patterns. Continually re-inventing their style, the sonic palate of Trjeau's sound is wondrous." - Fallopian Tunes. http://trjaeu.com
