Brisbane, Australia (1999 – present)

The Butterfly Effect are a hard rock band from Brisbane, Australia, formed in 1999. Since February 2002 the band has toured Australia and Europe extensively, and have performed over 800 times both locally and overseas as a headlining act. The band have performed at all major rock festivals in Australia including Big Day Out, Homebake, Livid and Falls Festival.

Their first EP, The Butterfly Effect (EP), was released in 2001, and charted well on the ARIA Independent charts. This first release, featuring the Triple J single “take me away”, was more “nu-metal” than later recordings although contained much of what was to become their signature soundscapes. They followed this with the critically-acclaimed Begins Here, released on 3 August 2003. The album peaked at No. 23 in Australia, reaching gold sales accreditation by mid-2006. It produced the minor hit Always, and attracted considerable critical acclaim

On 17 June 2006, the album Imago was released, with a move towards progressive rock and a less heavy sound. It was produced in Los Angeles by Joe Barresi, who had just produced Tool’s “10,000 Days” album. The album was commercially successful, being featured on national radio station Triple J, peaking at No. 2 in Australia in its first week and attaining gold sales accreditation just nine weeks later. The single A Slow Descent also peaked at No. 9 on the singles charts.

    The Roundhouse show was great [2]. Definitely the best I've ever heard Clint sing and the setlist was fantastic. Got to hear Consequence live which absolutely made my day.

    Man, i wish i was at the roundhouse in Syd right now!. I remember hearing One second of insanity for the first time way back in '03' or '04', i couldn't believe they were an Aussie act at first lol, was so amazed. I still can't believe Clint is leaving. I was lucky enough to see them a couple of years ago, one of the best live sounds and vocalists ever! and Five Golden Rings was epic! was hoping to have heard a studio version of it. While I do like Thousand needles in red, it will never hold a candle or come even close to what The Butterfly Effect have created
