After Slogging Around The Traps For Several Years A Demo They Recorded Caught The Ear Of Their Now-Manager Who Summoned Them To America Secured An International Record Contract Sent Them Into The Studio And Laid Plans To Launch Them Internationally. That's About To Happen But Before It Happens Crash Palace Are Enjoying Dusting Off The Cobwebs Playing Low-Key Gigs Around Australia Their First In A Year Their First Under Their New Name. It All Sounds Like A Dream Come True And Is But The Year Crash Palace Have Spent Making That Dream Come True Has Meant Hard Work And A Lot Of Commitment To Their Music And Each Other. Being In A Rock Band Dreaming Of An International Career Is One Thing. When That Potential Manager Comes Out Of The Blue And Tells You It's Yours To Have But You Have To Leave Your Comfort Zone Your Friends Your Fans Everything And Put It All On The Line It's A Huge Leap Of Faith To Take. Most People Take It Step By Step. Sometimes Not All The Band Members Survive The Journey. The Decision Was Harder For Some Members Of Crash Palace Than Others. But They All Made It. They Used To Be Called. Paradime. One By One They'd Taken Up Their Place Around Singer/guitarist Marcus Maloeney - Bass Player John Kelly Drummer Peter Constantinou Lead Guitarist Jeremy "Jezza" Taylor. When Keyboard Player Dean Thomas Arrived To Become The Last Piece In The Jigsaw Something Clicked Into Place. It Didn't Take A Man With A Big Cigar To Come Along To Tell Them They Had 'something'. When That Man Came Along He Came In The Shape Of Geoffrey Schuhkraft Who Like The Crash Palace-To-Be Had Cut His Teeth In The Backroom Of The Australian Music Industry But In More Recent Years Has Worked In America Developing The Contacts That Now Come Into Place On Crash Palace's Behalf. Schuhkraft Heard Paradime's Demo Recognized
that 'something' Offered To Become Their Manager And Arranged For The Group To Go To America. In The Studio Recording Their Album For Trauma Records Home Of Bush And No Doubt The Group Was Presented With A Huge Challenge. Their Producer Also Heard That 'something'. He Felt There Was 'something More'. He Challenged The Band To Put Aside The Songs They'd Been Playing For Several Years The Songs Which Had Won Them Their Manager And Contract And Their American Adventure. Their Producer Encouraged The Group To Make A New Beginning. They
took The Challenge. The Songs They've Recorded The Songs They're Playing Now Are The Songs They Then Sat Down And Wrote. When They Were Finished Paradime Was Completely Gone. They Had Became Crash Palace. What Isn't Gone Is The Apprenticeship They Served As Paradime. Over And Over Australian Groups Have Shown That The Thing They Have Over Their International Contemporaries Is That They Can Really Really Play On Stage. Australian Bands Have To Cut It On Stage. Crash Palace Come From That Australian Music Tradition. When The Whole World Discovers This Group Most Australians Haven't Even Heard Of They Will Straight Away Hear And Know That Crash Palace Are Australian. What Do They Play? If You Wanted To Find A Group That Summed Up The Post-Grunge Era Of Rock You'll Find It In Crash Palace. They Play With That Energy And Sincerity Which Won Rock Back Its Heart In The Grudge Era. Tucked Inside That Energy Are The Kind Of Melodies Commercial Radio Will Fall Over Themselves When They Eventually Hear Them. In Front Is A Michael Stipe-Frail Lead Singer With Considerable Presence. It's No Accident That This Dream Come True Has Fallen In Their Lap. read less
