about
Droplet formed in Hobart, Tasmania in the wake of the group Ocean who disbanded in 1993. Quickly establishing their indie-pop leanings but with a harder edge live, they were often likened to Lush, The Pixies, The Cranberries and My Bloody Valentine. They recorded and released a cassette entitled "...as if..." to promising reviews in late 1993. A year later, after singer/guitarist Lil Bresnehan, and guitarist/producer Matt Hills relocated to Melbourne establishing Happy Valley Studios, they were later joined by bassist Andy Roper (drummer Duncan Haig had left the band after the release of ...as if...)and set about recording their CD A Whole 'Nother World. Released in late 1994, Andy returned to Hobart, and Keith Urquhart (of The Mavis's) took over on bass duties. Further tracks were recorded but no releases were forthcoming and the group split in 1996. Hills moved to Adelaide where he set up a studio and managed Wolf And Cub, among other bands, Lil to Hobart to later form acoustic duo Shymmer, Roper to Sea Scouts, Urquhart to Nikita And The Snakes. Contemporaries of The Lucksmiths, Paradise Motel, The Dead Salesmen, Honeysuckle Madness and The Mavis's, Droplet are a definative 90s indie-pop group.
