Hello world! We're The Breed!

The Breed: outstanding in their field.

Welcome to the home of The Breed, Tasmania's hottest powerpop sensation. Stay tuned for news of gigs, disks and downloads.

"What is powerpop?" I hear you ask? It takes in any high-energy, bright, fun-loving rock music from British 60s Mods like The Who through to new skool punk like Green Day, and taking in a whole range of things in between, including (but in no way limited to) The Lemonheads, The Primitives, 60s US garage style and aggressive covers of the British pop invasion and Merseybeat. How's that for detail, then?

Here is the news...

Where’s The Queen’s Head?

April 27th, 2006

Hitting the high notesAs the old joke goes, “Where’s the Queens Head?” - “2 feet above her bum!”

Our North Hobart debut on Thursday April 20 went off well considering we got the gig on 6 hours notice after a cancellation and had no time to do much publicity. I have to say that the Queen’s Head is a great venue - top notch acoustics (we couldn’t force our PA to howl!) and a cosy atmosphere. Watch for more news of The Breed gigs, hopefully we’ll have a more formal booking next time and have time to let people know in advance.
