Forming in the summer of 2010 when brothers Brent and Kurt Thomson began writing music with high school friend Terry Greisbach. Fresh out of high school and with minimal knowledge of their instruments the trio began writing material for what would become GOODNIGHT MIDNIGHT.

After 30 auditions to find a vocalist the trio were caught off guard by Jemma Steadman with her astonishing range and abilities, the band completed with the addition of Billy Schnitzerling (Guitar).

‘It feels like we've been friends about 15 years with the way we interact with eachother (laughs)’ - Terry

Having performed their first show in August 2011, with 3 members taking the stage for the very first time ‘Our first show was huge! Sharing the stage with Chasing Ghosts, For This Cause, Mayfair and Burning Brooklyn to a nearly sold out show, definitely raised the bar for our performance and music. Since then we've never stopped aiming for a better performance to watch and kickass songs to hear live.’ - Jemma

The band began turning heads with their blend of Rock and Punk beats, with flowing melodies and harmonies over the top and of course the battle on stage between the female and male singer that is definitely something not to miss.

Fast forward to 2013 GOODNIGHT MIDNIGHT bunkered down at Loose Stones Studios (The Butterfly Effect, Dead Letter Circus) on the Gold Coast with producer Tyse Lee to work on their debut EP. ‘The rooms have an amazing setup and you can really focus on what you're there to do and vibe in. While recording you're able to see the big picture that anything is possible in there which Tyse Lee showed us. And we've definitely grown from that experience as a band and as individuals ‘. - Kurt

The bands Second single [H]eartless is the perfect reflection of GOODNIGHT MIDNIGHT’S new energy and creativity with melodies, yet just the beginning.

‘This song was written about someone who had lost hope in themselves because of things out of their control and it's us singing to them and reaching out saying don't give up on yourself, we'll be here, there are still things to live for, don't shut us out. The bridge is the person realising they're worth alot more than shutting down.’ - Billy

In their short time the band have shared the stage with the likes of Wolfmother, Hawthorne Heights (USA), These Kids Wear Crowns (CAN), The Mission In Motion, A Sleepless Melody, Cartel (USA), We Rob Banks, Take Us To Vegas as well as headlining their own successful shows.

GOODNIGHT MIDNIGHT’S debut EP "Love, Lies, Recovery" is available to order on their Big Cartel website - www.goodnightmidnight.bigcartel.com

Australian pop rock band, Set The Record debuted in 2012, bursting onto the scene with their punchy, energetic performances, and catchy, pop punk infused songs that echoed vibes of artists like New Found Glory, Jimmy Eat World and Paramore.

The quintet from Brisbane continued making waves in 2013, working with Electric Sun Studios in Sydney (Tonight Alive, Stand Atlantic, With Confidence), recording their second EP, ‘Above the World’. Fans made the debut single ‘Real’ trend #1 nationally on Twitter, leading to mainstream radio play on Austereo’s network.

Continuous touring throughout the country earned the band opportunities to open for international acts The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, The Maine, Relient K, Cartel, and AS IT IS.

2021 has seen STR back in the studio, releasing raucous new music, videos, and performances, breathing a fresh onslaught of noise back into the live scene.
