Krill

Krill – ‘See Me Cry’ (mp3)

Some guys get all the luck, like being in a band with four girls. Wait, I have a feeling all of them are related… well, maybe its not all that lucky…

So five-piece electro/pop/rock outfit Krill, originally from the backwater town of Yeppoon in Queensland but now residing in Sydney, are the inaugural winners of this year’s Uncharted band competition. What’s that mean? Well, they’ve scored themselves a record deal with an indie imprint label on Sony/BMG and a spot of next year’s Big Day Out tour which heads around Australia as well as Auckland, NZ.

That’s a pretty good prize in anyone’s books really. Krill have been getting a fair bit of attention lately – maybe it’s the music, maybe it’s their secret weapon: hot girls (wins every time). But their mish-mash of Blondie, The Cars and more modern acts like Razorlight, Gwen Stefani and Franz Ferdinand, is strangely infectious. It’s been popular enough to send them to Germany in 2006 and get them on festivals lineups and major shows around Australia.
