about
The Lookie Loos began their life at the start of 2005. The two founding members of Tim Steers (Guitar and Vox) and Alex Mustard (Bass) met whilst studying at the same institution within Hamilton. Steers moved from the U.K to study music in New Zealand and Mustard made the long journey from Waihi to study sport at the Waikato institute of Technology. Within a few months of knowing each other, the two began to collaborate, and instantly found similarities in their writing and composition. The music they loved drove them to begin writing original music whilst dreaming of playing live around New Zealand. The first full line up of the Lookie Loos saw the addition of an American drummer by the name of Joe Gruber, the three piece then began playing live in Auckland and Hamilton in as many venues as they could find. After recording some demos and playing live for six months the three piece were due to release an e.p towards the end of 2006 but were hampered by the news that their drummer had to return to the U.S delaying the release. At the start of 2007 the band continued to work on the E.P whilst trying to find new members of the band. The addition of two new members to the band Daniel Reece (lead guitar) and William page (drums) made the outfit a four piece. After some time working on the sound of the band and re-arranging the songs to fit the new line up the band began playing live once again. The band continued touring, playing with bands such as the Coshercott Honeys, Fightin
