Biography

Raised on the classic, guitar-ringing psychedelia of the ’60s (the Zombies, the Byrds) with a lo-fi indie rock approach not unlike that of the Elephant 6 collective, Melbourne, Australia group the Crayon Fields formed in 2002 before the members graduated high school. In the following few years, the band - vocalist/guitarist Geoffrey O’Connor, bassist Brett Hudson, guitarist Chris Hung and drummer Neil Erenstrom -supported the likes of the Unicorns, New Pornographers, Stereolab, Cornelius, Dirty Three, Electrelane, Deerhoof and Architecture in Helsinki in concert. Although their gear was stolen (and later recovered) halfway through the recording process, the band managed to complete their debut album, Animal Bells, co-released by Chapter Music and Trifekta records in mid-2006. All The Pleasures of the World was released in September 2009 on the Australian label Chapter Music and the Japanese label Rallye.

    Chestar is right. He is going to show us what whispery vitality sounds like.

    My little brother suggested this band to me as his friends big brother is the bassist. At first I shrugged it off, but after listening to their tracks I was convinced that these guys are actually a bloody talented group. Looking forward to seeing them tour.
