The Wonderful Lives
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. This exciting new collaboration sparked a creative surge for the members of the band, and the songs quickly began to take shape and multiply. They worked tirelessly in assembling a range of unique compositions, varying in style, emotion and intensity and set out to share their work with audiences that craved music possessing the very same traits that drew the musicians together in the first place.
The Wonderful Lives are:
Lucas Preddey (Vocals, piano, guitar, harmonica)
Tim Mahony (Cello, guitar, backing vocals, accordion)
Scott Cary (Drums, percussion, melodica, guitar)
Johnny Graffham (Electric guitar, Pedal Steel)
Cameron Jones (Bass)
The band have just released their first full-length album titled “The Human Heart Will Take Your Life”. Recorded over the winter of 2011 the album perfectly captures their alternative folk rock sound and unique instrument combination.
