Rogers was created in Kalgoorlie, Traditional western Australia, in 1968, although he relocated many times in his youngsters. His older sibling had a assortment of brought in American information, which Rogers would break right into his room to hear while he was out.

Rogers’ following relationship was a musical one. He teamed up with Tex Perkins, frontman from the Cruel Ocean as well as the Beasts of Bourbon, to create a duo known as T’n’T. Initially produced as a tale, they performed pub gigs with acoustic guitars, using materials from both their extended careers.
