Bio

In a tiny apartment in the north of Tokyo, sweltering in the brutal humidity of a Japanese summer, a feverish man tossed aside his ineffective medication, sat down at a small piano, and started to write some songs. On his return to Sydney in 2008, the songs reached the ears of four other musicians who were drawn to the depth, originality and raw emotion of the music. The Wonderful Lives were born.

“The Wonderful Lives ready to cast a musical spell. Local musician Tim Mahony will be joined by his other band mates from The Wonderful Lives for a free follow up Blue Mountains performance at Katoomba RSL, 82-86 Lurline St, this Saturday, August 22. The Wonderful Lives were formed in Sydney, mid 2008 and after putting together a five song demo CD have been out sharing their original music with Sydney audiences and receiving very enthusiastic responses. Their songs dig deep into the world of alternative folk rock and dark country and feature piano, cello, guitar, drums, bass, accordion, melodica and more. Described as a sophisticated orchestral frenzy intertwined with bitter sweet interludes, the songs rise and fall breathing life into an otherwise neglected genre. Influences include Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen. Free entry with an 8pm start. For more details contact Katoomba RSL on 4782-2624”
