Wons Phreely

Metro Theatre, Sydney

21st February 2008

Sorry, there was an error loading your playlist(s).

Originally from Australia’s West, Wons played in high school punk bands such as Lee Majors and the Phreely’s where after an incident with some bad directions Wons was inspired to play the booked set solo as the rest of the band had failed to arrive. In 2000 Wons set out for Sydney and begun playing acoustic gigs in and around Glebe, Newtown and Darlinghurst. On one of the more band orientated performances, the final of the 2002 Mascon band comp, one judge was moved to simply write on the score sheet "F**king good songs." When not performing Wons is usually found clocking up the hours learning the ways of modern production, experimenting on home computers and various other recording technologies and techniques. Won’s quirky, ironic take on alt-pop has a refreshingly original edge that sets him apart from his contemporaries, and he possesses a winning sense of humour that makes him a joy both live and on record.
