Sneaky Sound System
If you live in Australia and haven’t heard of Sneaky Sound System, then it’s pretty safe to say...you really should get out more. Over the past 18 months this Bondi based electro/pop group have been catapulted from club and festival favourites into an omnipresent pop sensation.
It has been a phenomenal year for the trio of Miss Connie (frontwoman/vocals), MC Double D (frontman/man-about-town/MC) and Black Angus (chief songwriter/producer/music guy). Their self titled debut album has sold in excess of 200,000 copies and the now certified GOLD singles UFO, Pictures and I Love It still sit firmly in the Australian ARIA Top 100. At one point the band had 4 singles in the Top 40.
It has been a year of breaking records and winning awards. PICTURES came second in the International Song-writing Competition. I LOVE IT broke the record for the longest charting single in the history of the ARIA Charts by spending 70 weeks in the ARIA Top 100 singles charts. The band also broke the record most nominations for an independent artist ever at the 2007 ARIA Awards where they took home 2 awards – Best Dance Release and Breakthrough Artist (Album). The Sydney trio also swept the Australian Independent Recording Awards, taking home trophies for Best Independent Single (UFO) and Best Independent Artist.
Their amazing performance at Live Earth Sydney in July had everybody talking, and with a string of sell out headline tours including their most recent all ages national arena tour + killer sets at festivals like Good Vibrations, Big Day Out & Splendour In The Grass + support slots with Robbie Williams, Jamiroquai and Scissor Sisters under their belt, Sneaky Sound System (together with their 6 piece band) have truly become one of the most captivating live acts of recent times.
