ELECTRIC EMPIRE

Electric Empire is comprised of Jason Heerah (drums), Aaron Mendoza (keys), Dennis Dowlut (guitar) and Simon Olsen (bass). They’re an independent-minded collection of talented musicians, songwriters and producers with Dennis, Aaron and Jason all taking lead vocals. Fast becoming one of Australia’s top music exports, like many of their contemporaries, the group has taken the global route before hitting the headlines at home. And what an incredible journey it’s been. In less than a year, the four-piece has achieved more than most others would manage in a lifetime. Electric Empire has toured the world, filling illustrious theatres and clubs, and playing some of the best-known festivals on the planet. In 2011, Electric Empire delivered a string of shows at Britain’s famous Glastonbury Festival, they graced the stage of London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall (2012) and played to full houses in Japan and France. The band’s music has even taken them into Kazakhstan. Their self-funded and self-titled 2010 debut album has now sold more than 40,000 copies outside Australia – a remarkable achievement for a fully independent release. Those experiences are shaping the music of Electric Empire. The group have cut a new EP, CHANGIN’, which will get a full-release in the Australian market in Oct 2012.
