From the depths of rock n roll in Ingham, the not-so-thriving music centre of Australia, a band has come out to throw a spanner in the works and show everyone what Wes Day and Tom Robson can do. They are an energy-crazed and incredibly talented couple making up the name of Longjetty, with deeply emotional lyrics and amazingly unique riffs that could only be summed up as rock n roll. At a rare moment, Tom takes time out to talk about life, lyrics, and the loves of his life, Brad and Chad.

These boys have played together literally for years. Ever since the time when, after they went off to University into the worlds of Law and IT, they finally got a slap in the face and realised what they love best making music. So, they have played non-stop in clubs and pubs up and down the coast for what must've seemed like almost a lifetime they have developed so quickly.

They got together when both were studying on Queenslands Gold Coast years ago, and they now both have played around the entire world in venues that are admired and places that are dreamed of. Tom believes that this experience is extremely important to their careers: The more you can do something the better you will become. Wes has a certain natural ability to perform and play instruments, but he still has to work at it. I, on the other hand, have no natural ability at all! So all the practice I can get is helping. With the amount of gigs they have lined up, the boys are certainly getting their practice! [Live performances] are very important. Its great training for our new music gets our names out there and its soooo much fun.

Whilst Wes and Tom are focusing on their writing and style of music, they have to do something about drums and bass. Everyone, make way for Brad and Chad! They are computerised sequenced backing tracks, put together using Cubase VST. Tom says that this alternative is purely because they are focusing on writing and being in a duo gives them more flexibility to move, change, and earn more money for recording. I wish Brad and Chad were real. But only if they could keep time like the Brad and Chad we have now though! I think nothing compares to real performers. I would trade a computer in a second The plan is to become a 4 piece soon. Once we have enough original music under our belts that we are happy with.
