The Search is over!

THROWING DOWN!

Hey guys and gals! My name is Melissa. Every fortnight I will be posting a new column that covers the punk/hardcore genre. You’re going to love it

GET READY FOR..

THE SEARCH FOR CARLIERAE.

They’re a six-piece metal/hardcore band hailing from the country town of Numurkah, Victoria. It consists of:
-Shaun Bullock, 20, vocals.
-Sean Cox, 19, guitar/vocals.
-Dale McNair, 20, guitar.
-Fergus Dupleix, 18, bass.
-Jack Thomas, 18, drums.
-Leanne Carnegie, 18, synth/keyboard.

The band was born in early to mid 2007 and have already played with some big bands such as Operator Please and Carpathian. With a large, growing fan base, amazing performance and stage presence, they’re bound to go far.

I was able to get a few minutes with Fergus Dupleix who was happy to answer my questions.

Who’s idea was it to start the band?
“Jack and Shaun B started the band after Jack’s previous band fell apart.”

Has the band had any problems so far?
“We have so much drama sometimes, I’m surprised we’re still together. We’ve come close to losing members but we make it through as a team, and as friends.”

What’s the best gig you’ve played at?
“Hardcore ‘08 in Albury. We supported Carpathian and there was an amazing crowd. They were jumping around and smacking each other as if we were a huge band. It felt good.”

Interesting band name… Who came up with is and how?
“Shaun Bullock came up with the band name.
The story is he was trying to find some girl called Carlierae on MySpace.com. Something must have just clicked in his head.”
