A Bit About Antoine

He has accumulated a huge repertoire from years of experience playing many different venues and styles of music across Australia and Europe.

There are many guitar players who sing- but not many who also play a mean solo, from classics to the new. Heckle for the impossible – chances are, Antoine can handle it.

A Bit About Jack Lance

Bringing the sound of mainstream pop and the chaos of old-school rock together, 21-year-old singer and songwriter Jack Lance is a self-proclaimed “wannabe rockstar”. Drawing inspiration from acclaimed rockers of the past such as Michael Hutchence and Jim Morrison, Jack masterfully blends abrasive yet intricate guitar work with his sugary-sweet vocals to produce a sexy and slick sound that grabs listeners and demands their attention.

“I want my music to have the ear worm effect of mainstream pop and incite some groovy foot-tapping, but I also want people to absolutely rock out to these songs, it’s a duality that I find so interesting to write and every project is incredibly fun with that goal in mind.” Hailing from Western Sydney, Jack Lance is a powerhouse to keep your eyes on.
