Artist
Australian band. Not to be confused with British band 'The Redcoats'. As with most musical endeavours, Redcoats started in a suburban lounge room back in 2007. Rhys and Andrew, who travelled through primary and high school together, were joined by vocalist Emilio. They gradually worked their way from the lounge room into the thriving live scene around Melbourne. In 2009, Neil moved from the country town of Bendigo and landed in the middle of this jamming trio. Redcoat’s new musical direction soon started to take shape. After only 2 months of coming together as a four- piece, Redcoats launched their new sound with a residency at The Evelyn. A few months later, Redcoats worked with Rob Long at Birdland Studios to record their first collection of songs. In 2010, Redcoats made the decision to drop everything and focus solely on their band. After deciding the best place to create their tunes was tucked away in the isolated bush, Redcoats headed off on a series of writing trips in regional Victoria. Following some great gig experiences including Bass In The Grass (Darwin), Redcoats returned to Birdland Studios in July 2010 with some new tunes under their belt. At the same time they enlisted the talented Sam Frederick to create their first film clip for Giants. Again drawing on their talented group of friends, Superteam Productions took some band shots, Julian Hocking developed their artwork and the band launched their debut film clip at Northcote Social Club in September 2010.
