The Temper Trap's story begins with Dougy. Born in Indonesia andimmersed inan artistic andmusicalfamily, with some rich influencesfrom singing in church choirs with his aunty and uncle and listening to his dad, acountry music fan, play guitar. These influences evolved around Dougy,as he moved consistently from different islands in Indonesa, to Hawaiiandtheneventually to Australia. Dougy's move to Downunder started him out as a portrait drawer at $25 a pop,or singing a tune for your loose change in downtown Melbourne.
Dougyeventually ended up working atthe same retail store asToby. Dougy had thought of starting a band for years and after a few months of boring work hours and finding out Toby was a drummer and a walking musical dictionary, the first band practice began,minus a bass player. In one of the coincedences that the band have come to rely on Jonny worked a couple of stores down and was called in. He had known Dougy for years,back in the busking days when dougy first arrived in melbourne. jonny, the 13 year old dreamer and son of a missionary,wanted to learn some guitar and dougy helped him out.A brotherly friendship was formed with some sense of common ground, both drawing life from music and their spritual upbringings, and unaware of the musical union which would be formed 6 years later.
The three of them came together, practised like crazy and played some shows for a year.One, twoskip a few (guitarists),ninetynineLorenzo.An old school friend of Toby's, Lorenzo had been dancing around bands and playing guitar from the age of 12. They bonded over skateboarding, but it didn't take the 2 teenagers long to start jamming covers and writing primitive songs in the garage. Years down the track and in another perfect twistLorenzo's previous band called it a day just as the other tempers second guitarist departed and the band was formed.
The Temper Trap, lead by frontman Dougy, have been writing and touring Australia, catching the ears of many, including world renowned producer Jim Abiss who made the journey to melbourne to assist the Temper Trap in delivering their debut record. With a series of epic new tracks set for release on their much anticipated debut album, the band has conquered adventurous new territory, building on their rich foundations in a natural progression. Legendary Artic Monkey's and Kasabian Producer Jim Abiss flew over to Melbourne to be at the helm. The Results of this brilliant new evolution in sound will persuasively draw you in. The Temper Trap have undeniably delivered.
