The Gin Club

Between leading rock-band the Giants of Technology and performing single, Ben Salter hosted a weekly open-mike night time along with his friend Ben Tuite at an Irish pub in Brisbane called Mick O’Malleys. There they fulfilled and befriended a multitude of the city’s talented music artists and eventually deducted that, instead of competing with one another over concert locations, they would perform easier to combine causes just like a ’70s supergroup, hip-hop team, or Japanese huge robot toon. The resulting music group was eight users strong, with each one of those eight users being a vocalist/songwriter & most of these multi-instrumentalists. With the help of affiliate users to plug spaces on-stage they swelled to as much as 15 users; a hard size to match at the tiny locations they debuted at. Struggling to reach a consensus about their name, they performed under a number of monikers before staff of 1 location billed them as the Gin Golf club because of the quantity of the soul they consumed while playing, as well as the name trapped. Every person in the primary lineup added vocals, aswell as playing tools: Ben Salter performed acoustic guitar, bass, and drums; Ben Tuite performed acoustic guitar; Bridget Lewis performed cello and key pad; Ola Karlson performed guitar, key pad, harmonica, and banjo; Conor MacDonald performed acoustic guitar, harmonica, and percussion; Brad Pickersgill performed acoustic guitar, bass, and percussion; Scotty Regan performed drums, acoustic guitar, and percussion; and Adrian Stoyles performed acoustic guitar, accordion, and key pad. This lineup documented a lot of the tunes on their 1st two albums, The Gin Golf club (2004) and Concern with the ocean (2005). The initial record they recorded independently within a day for the quantity of $AU300. For the follow-up, they agreed upon with AND SOMETHING Records, which allowed these to record their second record for the fairly princely amount of $AU500. Each melody was compiled by a single person in the music group, with the others rotating through support equipment. This led to famously chaotic concert events with constant device swapping, whose shambolic quality was accentuated by the actual fact which the music group refused to function from a established list and continuing intake of their brand beverage throughout each functionality. Ben Tuite still left after the documenting of Concern with the Sea, however the slot machine was quickly loaded by other music artists who was simply attracted to the group with the pure gravitational drive of their extreme mass: Dan Mansfield performed electric guitar, bass, drums, body organ, key pad, piano, and mandolin; Angus G. Agars performed drums and percussion; Matthew Schneider performed drums and accordion. Affiliate associates at differing times included Jacob S. Harris, Dale Peachey, Jane Elliot, and Danica Davis on whatever equipment were free at that time. The developing amount of songwriters in the group result in an exponential explosion in the amount of tracks they were composing. Furthermore, for the very first time they started to create tracks as an organization instead of creating them separately and then getting these to the music group to complete the spaces. Their 2008 launch, Rubbish, grew to a dual recording to match all 26 from the paths they recorded for this. Still sense like there weren’t plenty of people, Tim Rogers of You Am I became a member of them like a guest.
