ABOUT THE MINTIES
ABOUT THE MINTIES
From the beaches of Australia's Mid-North Coast to the share houses of Sydney's Inner-West; The Minties come together to bring you their special brew of Australian rock and roll.
A combination of different influences fight to create a unique style of New-Age Australian rock, with tracks governed by a deep love for blues and funk.
Drummer, Jack Race, and bassist, Simon Bell, lay the groundwork for a driving sound with impressive percussive elements and an intuitive groove. Guitarist, Benjamin Atkinson, is in the business of blues, bringing electric lead melodies, fantastic syncopated rhythms and the off-the cuff feel The Minties have come to embody. Frontman, Nicholas Christie, showcases a love of Post rock and Post-punk stylings, whilst managing to combine just enough cliches and hedonistic rambling to keep things interesting.
With diverse influences the boys create a beautiful offset from the archetype of Australian rock.
In the tail end of 2020, the 4-piece have been focused on creating their latest single, Nullarbor, after a heavy year of gigging to promote their first EP release, 'LIGHT ME UP'. Keep your eyes peeled for more.
