The Anyones

Band, *1994 US
Pop and Rock

Known as The Everyones in the United States. The Anyones, once considered one of Australia's undiscovered musical gems, have since established themselves to be one of the finest acts to come from our shores. Brothers, Steve and Mal Pinkerton joined forces with schoolmate Nick Murphy in 1997, and with Adrian Gardner and Rohan Brooks on board soon after, the fresh and imaginative guitar pop band we know as The Anyones was born. With a guitar core, The Anyones have combined keyboards, strings, flute and samples to produce what can best be described as harmony driven cinematic rock. The Anyones have toured extensively throughout Australia over the past few years, playing at festivals such as Homebake, Livid and The Big Day Out, as well as supporting international and local artists as diverse as The Vines, The Music (UK), Morissey (UK), Magic Dirt, Brad (USA), You Am I & Rocket Science. Following up the highly successful album Lonerider, in 2003, The Anyones released their self-titled album in August last year to much critical acclaim. Tracks such as Come Around, Green Cats Eye and Pocket soon found their way onto high rotation on Triple J and community radio stations.. In late August and September, the band followed up this release with Triple J "presented" Australian tour of more than 35 dates, with all of the capital city shows selling out and the band establishing itself as one of the most interesting bands in Australia. With The Anyones' album being voted in the top 10 new albums for 2003 in Australian street press, and three songs being up for nomination for Triple J's Hottest 100, this release has been a great success. With exciting overseas opportunities on the horizon in the United States, Europe and Japan, 2004 is likely to be another great year for The Anyones.
