Short Biography
The Fans have demanded and Short Stack are here to deliver! After three sell-out tours, including a sell-out December National Concert Tour playing their biggest venues to date; the overwhelming demand for tickets has prompted Short Stack to announce extra dates for Stack Is The New Black 2010 Tour.
Stackmania is set to rock Australia in March and April performing all their hits from their #1 album Stack Is The New Black and their hit new single ‘Sweet December'.
It's been a massive year for Central Coast (NSW) boys Shaun Diviney (Vocals/Guitar), Andy Clemmensen (Bass/Vocals) and Bradie Webb (Drums/Keys). A number one debut album on the verge of being certified gold status (for sales over 35,000 units), four hit singles, three headline tours, Best Music Video (IF awards 09) & millions of plays on MySpace and YouTube for both their music and their fly-on-the-wall series Short Stack TV, it's clear: Stack really is the new black.
In between HSC exams, winning the title of Channel [V]'s Oz Artist Of The Year in 2008, and gigs supporting the likes of Simple Plan, The Veronicas and Good Charlotte, work began on Stack Is The New Black which mashes elements from punk, glam and electro, and is winning over more fans by the day. Since their debut single Shimmy A Go Go, the band have released three further top 20 singles, Princess (which reached number 11 on the ARIA singles chart), Sway, Sway Baby! (number two) and the current hit, Sweet December. The number one album, Stack Is The New Black, explores an even wider range of styles - with epic ballads sitting alongside their trademark electro-tinged rock anthems.
It's a good thing the band enjoys being on stage - they'll be spending a good part of 2010 touring the length and breadth of the country in an effort to reach every last one of their fans. "We want to give a large majority of Australia a chance to have to see us live by the end of 2010. Bradie says. "If you haven't seen our show yet, you can expect loud music, energetic fun and most importantly, the band of the future."
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
