Sickboy is a garage band that plays orginal folk songs overdriven beyond recognition. Most of the time we play as a three piece. Sometimes four are on stage at the same time, and sometimes they leave the lead singer up on stage alone with a guitar so the rest of the band can rehydrate, or just because they are mean..

Before arriving in Australia in 2006, Sickboy formed 5 years earlier in Atlanta, where they left behind a quickly forgotten legacy of kicking around, playing nearly every venue in town, replacing drummers, never getting a gig in Athens, getting nowhere, releasing singles, shouting at the top of their lungs, releasing an EP, and always writing new material.

After founding member Mark Spence got tired of beating his head against a wall, he wound up in Australia and started putting a new trio together, and that has made all the difference in the world. The band has a had a lot of personnel changes. Like BALLS a lot. Right now they are every happy, and Mark can only pray that these fellows will stick around, because he is really growing quite attached.

Touring behind the previous EP, VANITY & VELOCITY, took them to most of the major cities around Oz, and now their latest offering, WATER NEVER WAITS, should keep them going for a while longer. Sickboy is a band that wants everything, expects nothing, and is getting close to both.
