Short Stack Singer Becomes Diviney

Short Stack may have called it a day, but the band’s former frontman is still making music. Shaun Diviney is preparing to release some new material under the not so cryptic moniker Diviney.

Shaun heads up the five-piece which features talent from Operator Please and Die for You. Don’t expect another Short Stack though. Shaun left the band with dreams of creating a brand new sound. The first single “You’re So Cool” is our first taste of that.

You can hear more when Diviney plays the following shows.

5 January 2012 – The Old Museum, Brisbane (All Ages)
12 January 2012 – The Lair @ Metro Theatre, Sydney (All Ages)
19 January 2012 – Ding Dong Lounge, Melbourne, VIC (Under 18)

Wayne Swan’s Daughter is “So Cool”!

While Wayne Swan has been doing his best to manage Australia’s money, his daughter Erinn has been quietly plugging away at a musical career. With her band Streamer Bendy, the tattooed Brisbanite has written and recorded tracks in Sweden and Los Angeles. The new single “You’re So Cool” is the first taste of their efforts.

“Things are very exciting in the world of Streamer Bendy right now” Erinn Swan explained. “We’ve just completed a marathon trip to Sweden where we collaborated with the likes of superstar producers Macho Psycho (P!nk), Trinity, Martin Hansen (The Rasmus), and Arnthor Birgisson (Leona Lewis, Natalie Bassingthwaite, Jennifer Lopez).”

We can expect more melodic and insanely catchy rock-pop songs when the band releases its debut album next year. They plan on conquering Australia, then setting their sights on Europe, so it sounds like 2011 is going to be massive for them!

Until then, check out the video for “You’re So Cool!”
