Rollerskates

Let's take a look at the Rollerskates story, a myspace journey into the heart of Rollerskates.



The Rollerskates journey began in 1998 when Stevie C, Rufus and Jordy released an epic 20 track bedroom recording under the name Rollerskates, an absurd collection of samples and Casio keyboards. They then looked to recreating the sounds live and along with the talents of Moflo Leigh and Gabriel, Rollerskates was born.



Since then, Rollerskates have gone on to amass a large list of achievements, including:



Releasing 2 highly regarded and well received EP's, as well as 3 Singles to solid Australia-wide radio airplay:

01. TELL YOUR MOTHER TO TELL HER FRIENDS (EP - 2001)

02. THE MOVEMENT (EP - 2002)

03. POLYETHER 1944 (SINGLE - 2003)

04. SEVENTY PIE (SINGLE - 2004)

05. GETTIT (SINGLE - 2005)



Winning 7 WAMi Awards between 2000-2006.



Supporting such luminaries of the fringe as:

REGURGITATOR, MACHINE GUN FELLATIO, RESIN DOGS, PRE-SHRUNK and GERLING.



Two East Coast tours in 2003 and 2004, with shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Newcastle, Canberra, Albury and Wagga Wagga.



Two Big Day Out (Perth) performances in 2002 and 2004.



Solid national radio airplay for the singles "THE MOVEMENT", "POLYETHER 1944", "SEVENTY PIE" and "GETTIT" (heard on these stations: JJJ / RTR / RRR / PBS / FBI / 2SER / TUNEFM / 4ZZZ / 3D RADIO / NOVA)



Music videos for "THE MOVEMENT", "POLYETHER 1944" and "SEVENTY PIE" receiving airplay on ABC's RAGE and SATURDAY MORNING FLY, CHANNEL [V] and MTV, as well as MELBOURNE's SHORTBREAKS FILM FESTIVAL and at PERTH's REVELATION INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL.



The Debut Long Player "REKKID" has been available as a digital download for some time, but the physical release is set to drop very soon. It is pre-empted by a Double A side release. "Business Class" and "The illegal Meat tray". These songs are set to be released in August of 2009.



The next phase of Rollerskates career is unwritten.
