Jo Lowenthal ( Lead vocals, guitar)
Angie Polidano (Lead guitar)
Shaun Johnston (Bass)

How is the all age’s music scene in Byron shire?
”It really comes down to which events, most of the touring bands play at the local venues The Great Northern or the Beach Hotel which are both over 18 venues, however more acts are beginning to play at the Youth Activity Centre (YAC) and the civic hall which are both all ages venues. As far as underage bands go there is significantly less.
Occasionally there is under aged gig organised where a couple of bands get together and decide to put on an event.
Recently, last October we organised an event which Indent and Music NSW helped fund our band ‘Alice Blu’ we put on an all ages gig and hired two other local youth bands ‘Half Nelson’ and ‘Truancy’. The event went really well, around 300 people turned up, and every one seemed to have a great time.
Events like these encourage people to get out there with their music, it gives other kids and local bands a chance to showcase there music.”
How old are you guys?, and what type of music do you play?
“In Alice Blu we are all 16. We like to merge the genres of; indie, rock, pop, funk and blues.”
Are you guys an original band or do you play covers?
“We have recently been going through a writing stage; some of our new songs are on our new EP. We have recently recorded the EP and are currently mixing and mastering it.
However when we play live we like to mix it up a bit and play a couple of covers just to start of a set.
Have you guys got any gigs coming up?
“Yeah we are soon touring as a support band for Jackson Dunn, they are a Brisbane band.
The tour dates are from 26th of November to the 10th of December 09, for more information on Alice blu
