Redcoats - Redcoats

As with most musical endeavors, Redcoats started in a suburban lounge room in 2007. Rhys and Andrew, who travelled through school together, were joined by vocalist Emilio. They gradually worked their way from the lounge room into the thriving Melbourne live scene. In 2009, Neil moved from the country town of Bendigo and landed in the middle of this jamming trio. Redcoat's new musical direction, drawing influences from Kyuss, Black Sabbath and Black Mountain, soon started to take shape. After 2 months of coming together as a four-piece, Redcoats launched their new sound with a residency at the Evelyn. A few months later, Redcoats worked with Rob Long at Birdland Studios to record their first collection of songs.
