WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

The Maker Band is a new one-man-band creation described as ‘portable rock n roll’.
Frontman Jonny Amos has already tasted success in the music industry following the charting triumph of his Australian underground no.9 hit ‘Sarah Jane’ and now the multi-instrumentalist launches his unique blend of rock, beat-box and hooks to the world. He Says “The Maker Band concept is simple. You don’t need to form a band when you can make one. There’s two art forms in music, the art of recording and the art of performing. I have fused the two by creating a multi phrase live looping set up to my live act allowing me to play everything in the band, record it and perform it in front of people’s eyes.”
Amos has sessioned for big label artists alongside being a well respected jingle writer for such commercial radio stations as Galaxy FM and Kiss FM before spending 3 years in the much hyped UK rock group, Red Star Rebels. Having toured with numerous big name bands, worked with numerous top name producers and built up a huge nationwide fan base “The Rebels” were dubbed “The hardest working band in the business” by Industry insider Paul Bay. Having built up a media frenzy with numerous celebrity fans and being awarded with ‘Best Rock Act’ at the 2007 Indy Awards, Jonny left the band to concentrate wholly on the project that had been “rattling around in my head for years”, the hotly anticipated Maker Band. “I don’t do name dropping or bullshit talk. I leave that for those who aren’t happy with what they actually have in life” quipped the outspoken singer in a 2008 interview with Timeout magazine.
“I’ve written hooks, jingles and soundtracks in the past but now its time to put something truly original out there. This industry is changing hugely and the artist is back in control. Trust me when I tell your readers that I’m at the forefront of something that’s never been done before in modern music. I don’t need a band and I don’t need a label. Watch what happens.”
The Maker Band look set to release debut album ‘Based on True Stories’ in 2009.
