After suffering a near-fatal seizure, visionary performer Trash McSweeney now sees colour in his music and has set out to share with the world all the ideas about what he has seen and felt. By taking to his guitar, piano and notebook, The Red Paintings were officially born upon the dawn of the new millennium.

Based in Australia and Los Angeles – and having been fortunate enough to already tour much of the globe – The Red Paintings are a five-piece group (guitar, bass, drums, cello & violin) who incorporate additional orchestral, choral and performance art features wherever possible. With costumes, themes, painters and other artists their shows combine sound and visuals to create a living canvas that stimulates the senses and minds of the audience. A true and unique art experience. The Red Paintings’ sound evokes everything from child-like lullabies of the future, to tearing, biting, alternative-rock numbers. They are sometimes compared to multi-faceted acts like Radiohead, Muse, and The Arcade Fire, and their appeal reaches baroque-pop steam-punks, metal-heads, indie-rock fanatics, and beyond.

Utilising years of cumulative experience as well as every available resource, Trash & Co. have released the award winning first single from their full-length debut album, The Revolution Is Never Coming. The Streets Fell Into My Window is a surreal & dark adaptation of the Alice in Wonderland tale, with a strong mix of live action performance, stylized animation and twisted puppetry, which delivers audiences into a whole new ‘Wonderland’ of unrestrained fantasy and imagination. The clip has being winning awards at International film festivals all over the globe.
