Fusing electro pop with a touch of cock rock, the Blow Waves have been described as punchy, rocky disco-camp and full of punk attitude.

The Blow Waves are Matt Doll, Jamie Wave, Byron St John, John Pants and Jezz Beat.

The Blow Waves haven’t slowed down since playing at the famous Sydney Mardi Gras in 2008, pounding the live circuit around the nation they have clocked up almost one hundred live shows, building a solid fan base in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide and hosting their own headlining gigs.

In 2009 the band toured internationally playing at the World Outgames in Copenhagen, the Manchester Pride Festival and a whole bunch of side shows in London and Berlin.

Immersed in dirty synths, melodic harmonies, guitar driven riffs and penetrating hooks, The Blow Waves captured their raw stage performance and live reputation on their self-titled EP which features trade mark tracks Attack of the Puppet People, Night Rider, Beginning of Love and Restless Robots.

Their debut LP is planned for 2011.

In the press

“The Blow Waves are easily the best live band in Melbourne at the moment. Not only do they deliver the goods musically, they have a stage presence that is both endearing and totally cool.” – Inpress

“Certainly a band that makes an impression, the Blow Waves have been mixing punk, disco and glam rock since 2006. We dare you to find another band in the country with such an eccentric style (and sound to match), and putting on such a high energy rock show.” – Sauce

“The Blow Waves have blown in from Australia on a wave of critical acclaim from their recent European tour … dirty beats, dirty times and dirty underwear!” – DNA

“If Julian Clary, Snagglepus and Richard Simmons formed a band they wouldn’t be anywhere near as hot as the Blow Waves … fusing punk, disco and rock to birth a damn fine sound … miss them and cry like Britney.” – Time Out

“Knife-edge guitars, psyched out keyboards and playful/dirty lyrics… their singer sports a bath robe, their bearded bassist Is clad in leather daddy cap, while their keyboardist camps it up in a football jersey. Clearly, this quartet aren’t what you’d call shy and retiring. ” – Inpress

“The Blow Waves’ garish costumes, a bright clash between New Romantic and punk, ensure they’re hard to miss… The band has a strong queer fan base, but their cock rock sound is by no means restricted to a particular demographic.” – Rip It Up

“The performance is a raunchy trashfest, and is epitomised by the band’s desire to have random underwear thrown at them while playing. Musically, every song has a simple, amazingly catchy hook, mostly in the form of sexy riffs that make the stripping of one’s clothes seam like the only way… it is fair to say that if one wanted a trashy party, one would want The Blow Waves to provide the entertainment. ” – Inpress
