Short Biography
Short Stack are back with a hot new Album and National Headline Tour for 2011.
With four National sell-out tours already under their belt, the last one culminating at the
Sydney Opera House in April 2010
Shaun Diviney (vocals/guitar), Andy Clemmensen (bass) and Bradie Webb (drums) - take their 2nd GOLD selling album on the road this July with ‘THIS IS BAT COUNTRY' Tour!
Fresh from a national arena tour supporting Good Charlotte, the band will be itching to get back on the road, meet their fans and do what they do best; putting together a concert experience that will have fans immersed in their own Bat Country creation, proving once again why Short Stack are undoubtedly the hottest band in the country right now!
‘This Is Bat Country' is everything you know about Short Stack - the pop hooks, the rock attitude, the cheeky exuberance, and so much more. ‘This Is Bat Country' is the highly-anticipated follow-up to their 2009 Gold selling debut album and ARIA #1 ‘Stack Is The New Black' - an album which spawned four top 30 singles and three national sold out tours. ‘This Is Bat Country', featuring the ARIA #4 platinum selling single ‘Planets' + Gold selling ‘We Dance To A Different Disco Honey', and the hot new single ‘Heartbreak Make Me Killer' (released Friday 26 March), hit the charts running when it debuted at number 6 on the ARIA Albums Chart in November 2010 and remained a top 50 for 10 weeks straight!
Supporting Short Stack on all shows are Heroes For Hire and Because They Can.
Since the release of their debut album ‘Life Of The Party', Sydney's most promising pop‐punks Heroes For Hire have embarked on a national tour with Detroit outfit Fireworks, landed a slot on Sydney's prestigious Come Together Festival, and have most recently wrapped up a stint on the road with US mob The Wonder Years. Heroes For Hire are thrilled to be supporting Short Stack on the This Is Bat Country tour.
Because They Can are an exciting new young band from the Internet Generation. Recently signed to Sunday Morning Records and following hot on the heels of Short Stack with their home-made Youtube videos, hook-filled songs and growing army of Facebook fans, they look set to be an unstoppable force in 2011 and 2012.
In-depth Biography
Short Stack is an Australian punk-pop band that made its chart-topping album debut in 2009 after establishing itself with a couple one-off hit singles and lots of social media networking. Founded in 2005 in Budgewoi, New South Wales, Australia, the band is comprised of Shaun Diviney (lead vocals, guitar), Andy Clemmensen (backing vocals, bass), and Bradie Webb (drums, keyboards), who met as students at the Hunter School of the Performing Arts. Upon signing to Sunday Morning Records, Short Stack made their recording debut in 2008 with the Shimmy a Go Go EP, which spawned a couple music videos ("Shimmy a Go Go," "Drop Dead Gorgeous") and a Top 40 hit single in the title track. The follow-up single, "Princess," was a much bigger hit, reaching number 11 on the Australian singles chart in early 2009. Already an Australian punk-pop sensation by this point, Short Stack established themselves not only with one-off singles but also with lots of social media networking, above all /MySpace (where the band streamed its singles) and /YouTube (where it streamed its videos). The band also toured Australia heavily in 2008/2009, opening for numerous punk-pop bands (Simple Plan, Metro Station, the Veronicas) and embarking on a couple small-scale tours of its own on which it performed an album's worth of original material along with a couple covers (Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You out of My Head," the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop"). Particularly well established among teenagers, Short Stack finally made their full-length album debut with Stack Is the New Black, which was a number one smash hit upon its release in August 2009. The album's lead single, "Sway, Sway Baby!" was also a smash hit, reaching number two on the singles chart, and yet another single, "Ladies and Gentlemen," followed later in the year. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
