The Boats are a post-rock trio based in Melbourne, Australia, consisting of Nick Conolly, Jonathan Byron and Paul Guseli. The band are often reminiscent of experimental and psychedelic acts of the early 1970s, such as Pink Floyd, and Jefferson Airplane, and yet have carved out their own contemporary sound by fusing together rock elements with jazz and punk inspired flare, synth drones, sizzling guitars, and thundering, chasing rhythms.

I am a multi-instrumentalist, occasionally recording original instrumental music, inspired by the beauty within our Australian landscapes...
