Gareth Liddiard has spent the past ten years based in Melbourne and North East Victoria, where he has led the universally critically acclaimed band the Drones. Busy with the almost constant touring the band demands, it has not been until recently that he's found the time to release his much anticipated solo album. Liddiard is a documentarian of sorts, unlike many of his peers, who look abroad for song-writing inspiration, Liddiard looks to the country he was born and raised in.
His song Shark Fin Blues was recently voted by Australian musicians as greatest the Australian song of all time.
"Gareth has this ability leave you standing there completely breathless, in awe of what you have just witnessed. He is an outstanding, unrivalled songwriter and performer, with many challengers, but no one within his league."
