Its not easy to describe where Cuthbert and the Night Walkers are coming from. The best we can do is to recall a review of a Flaming Lips show which likened the spectacle to a child’s first birthday party organized by the parents while on acid. We wanted to be in a band like that.
With this idea firmly planted in our heads, the fresh and delightfully odd Cuthbert & the Night Walkers was born in mid-2005 with four boys and one girl on instruments and five girls in a choir.
Having recently won Triple J Unearthed, Cuthbert and the Night Walkers unleashed their live experience at The Great Escape festival over Easter 2007.
Cuthbert and the Night Walkers’ unique and grandiose sound is harnessed by combining a traditional rock band (talented and handsome mind you) with a five-piece, all-girl choir. The result is an aural tussle that sounds like a glee club. After supporting Peter Bjorn and John (Sweden), Kate Miller-Heidke, Old Man River and Operator Please the ten-piece Sydney based band are developing a reputation for their energetic and joy provoking live shows. The band has also received radio support from Triple J and FBI. Having released their first two EPs in 2006 to much critical acclaim, Cuthbert and the Night Walkers launched a new 3 track CD at the Annandale hotel on May 3 in preparation for the release of their debut album in the second half of 2007.
