about
Even though the average age of the boys is only 22, the members of the Australian alternative rock band Brittle have already been performing together for over 9 years – starting when they were just 13! The band was formed by Ben Whiting, Billy Donaldson and Geoff Slingsby, while they were at school together in Ballina, NSW. Ben ODwyer, also from Ballina joined the band 3 years ago. In recent years, Brittle has landed a string of high-profile shows and events that most bands only dream of, including playing the main stage at Splendour in the Grass and Indy 300 where they performed to over 100,000 people alongside artists such as Wolfmother, The Zutons and Death Cab For Cutie. Brittle has been described as "one of the bands to watch" by Music Week UK & Insider Magazine, as well as being listed as a “buzz band” by The Music Network in Australia. In August 2009, the boys supported top Australian band Faker during their JD Set tour of Melbourne, Sydney and Townsville and international sensation Katy Perry at her sold-out Melbourne concert. The band’s latest EP “The Owls” was produced by International award-winning producer Mark Opitz and recorded at Melbourne’s Sing Sing Studios. The band was thrilled to work with Mark who has also produced INXS, The Divinyls, Hoodoo Gurus, The Angels, Cold Chisel, KISS and Ray Charles.
