‘Music... a way of expressing ourselves beyond simple words....a vessel by which we can show our true feelings and emotions without fear of prejudice or ridicule. When the simple walls of language and literature break down, music stands tall and will always have an answer.
To write songs about love, loss, relationships, hard times, Religion and life experiences in the hope that they can make a difference in people’s lives,’ much like they have in our own, is something very special. Sure some people may not like our music or how we perform it, but at the end of the day if someone appreciates what you’ve done and can take something out of it, than it makes it all worthwhile.’ Aaron Jobst - Drummer
Denham Reagh is recognised as one of Sydney's most respected Acoustic Rock bands since their inception in late 2006. Having been garnered with members from a collection of backgrounds, the band has been able to fuse various musical styles together to create their own unique sound.
The boys play a large collection of original songs and Bassist Gordon describes their music as “acoustic rock with a hint of pop... and a little something extra.” They like to write songs with meaningful lyrics, particularly things that focus on real life experiences and issues. One example of this is the song ‘On Your Own’ which focuses on the sad feelings one has when losing someone very close, a feeling many have experienced.
Bands that Denham Reagh have been heavily influenced by include Matchbox 20, John Mayer and the Goo Goo Dolls.
Recent events and venues the band has played at include:
• Sydney Royal Easter Show 2010, Sydney Showground
• The Gaelic Club, Surry Hills
• Annandale Hotel, Annandale
• Manly Fisho’s, Manly
• Spectrum, Darlinghurst
• The Oxford Tavern, Wollongong
• Cruelty Free Living Festival 2008/2009
• Fisher’s Gig 2008, Bradbury Oval
Drum Media journalist Liam Casey recently wrote about the band and reviewed their show saying “I will happily bet a reasonable amount of money that the indie and mainstream crowds will go nuts for Denham Reagh.”
The band released their debut EP in 2009 which has been well received amongst music lovers across Sydney.
Denham Reagh recently recorded their new single with acclaimed producer Andy Mak (Silverchair, New Empire, Boy and Bear), which is being released 20th August through independent distributor CDBaby. The new single will be supported by a music video, solid radio promotion and media promotion both in Australia and around the world.
