The Reactions

The Reactions are a nifty little rock'n'roll band from Hobart, Tasmania. Sometimes they get lucky and play gigs with proper bands such as The White Stripes, The Dirtbombs, The Black Keys, The Living End, The Greenhornes, Jebediah, The Hard Ons, The Drones, The Mess Hall and Rocket Science. Usually they just gig for kicks with people around town who also have bands. Besides what's more fun than playing in a band with your mates on a Friday night?



They've done a bunch of other pleasant activities such as release music on US record label compilations, had airplay on European and American radio in addition to National (JJJ) and Community radio in Australia, been invited to do live radio performances around Australia, survived a handful of tours to the big island and even got a mention in the Rolling Stone Yearbook 2004.



They have released one full length album (A Three Piece Band Called., 2004) and one split EP (Isolation Breeds Strange Creatures, 2005) through Reverberation Records. Their second album, High Technology was released in March 2008 through Off The Hip records in Melbourne.



High Technology even got an Honourable Mention in the top 10 records of 2008 over at Australias premier garage blog/site the I94 Bar.

If the Stems and the Hoodoo Gurus came from Tasmania and were cousins, would they have a child like this?"
