“... a band that has that rare spark: amazing live energy and feel-good songs that bury themselves in your head".
Originally hailing from Sydney, brothers Brendan and Michael Etherington spent two years writing and performing together but struggled to find their true sound. Packing his bags Brendan moved to Melbourne to start afresh and Michael the younger of the two was soon to follow.
After a series of line-up changes Busy Kingdom’s own brand of melodic rock came together with the arrival of Curtis Ardolino (Bass) and Reggie Auldist-King (Drums). Though coming from differing backgrounds, and even different states, Busy Kingdom bonded into a dynamic band with three members sharing a house and home studio in the Melbourne inner suburb of Brunswick.
Over the past three years the Brendan and Michael songwriting partnership has been very active and continues to develop. Writing, recording and releasing new music is a constant theme for the band. This has resulted in Busy Kingdom releasing (independently) three EP’s and one album.
New EP 'Busy Kingdom' featuring the single Woman' now available on iTunes and streaming services.
Regulars in the Melbourne live music scene, Busy Kingdom has toured Sydney, Adelaide and rural Victoria.
