Experimental post-rock geniuses The Definitives combine unassuming yet profound lyricism with charming ocker delivery and way-out instrumental grooves. They perform as a large collective with spoken word, guitars, drum machines and synthesizers. The music they make together is free-form and raucous, yet tender and personal. - Tone List
The Definitives are the resident band at DADAA Midland. This motley crew of poets and visual artists draw on their lived experience of mental illness to create whimsical vignettes propelled by freewheeling rhythms. The Definitives are Rodney Stone (vocals, lyrics), Lorraine Walker (vocals), Kieth Hayton (bass, lyrics), Shaun Swift (synths, lyrics), Nick Pratt (lap steel), Kristan Martin (guitar), and Eduardo Cossio (drums, synths).
The Definitives are proudly sponsored by Outcome Unknown in partnership with DADAA (Disability in the Arts, Disadvantage in the Arts Australia).
