Profile
Calais is an emerging Brisbane rock band delivering music with creative melodies, driving rhythms and emotive lyrics influenced by the Kings of Leon, U2, Muse and Led Zeppelin.
Calais is Tim Lollback and Guy Stacey on vocals and rhythm guitar, Liam Roberts on bass, Will Mogg on drums, and Joe Fleming on lead guitar. The band formed in early 2010 primarily to enter Brisbane's Rockschool Challenge band competition, which they won. In a relatively short time they have written several songs that showcase not only their precocious talent as song writers but also their skill as musicians. Six of these songs appear as tracks on their recently recorded debut EP.
"The amazing thing about Calais is not their fantastic musicianship, nor is it the fresh new sounding song structure. No, the amazing thing about Calais is that they are all still students. These guys have come along and delivered a sound far beyond their years with some of the musical passages reminiscent of 70's prog rock, but with a much more direct modernized approach. There are many mature bands who have been recording for years that would love to sound this good."
Paddy - Only Australian Music
"I have worked out who they remind me of... their sound is like the Killers, with lyrics I liken to Kings of Leon and Gyroscope. These guys were on the sunburnt lips of all the back stage crew. For good reason as well, 'Calais' synced their sound with lyrical dignity. I'm a fan of songs with good lyrics. You're lyrics WEREN'T GOOD AT ALL, they were AMAZING!"
Michael QUT - Ambiwerra Battle of the Bands Review
"Moves, looks and feels like a great live band... Entertaining beyond years."
Brett Wood - Starving Kids Records
"Tight, slick performance. Good energy. You guys write great pop rock songs."
Heat 3 Judges - 2011 Rockschool Challenge
"Triple-M Ekka Show Starters band comp - the winner is Calais! The high school kids did it."
Tristan Swanwick - The Courier-Mail
Calais delivers a sound well beyond their years combining great musicianship with a fresh sounding song structure.
Calais has played gigs and local festivals with acts such as The Cairos, Little Scout, The Boat People, Vasy Mollo, Finabah, Flicks, Freak Morice, After Opening, Grape Soda, Black Mustang and recently supported Wolfmother.

Well about time you put something up for us to look at. Excellent live sound just typical of your gigs. But I hear talk of an unofficial music video - when do we get to see that?
