Approachable Members of Your Local Community make music that’s a gently heaving wave of team spirit and pop melodies; funny but not a joke, approachable but not simple, and generously glazed in extra servings of groove and charisma. Reliably funky and devilishly handsome in their matching Adidas, these nebbish boys from the more-recently-clean streets of St Kilda who make up the Approachable Members deliver a service the community knows and loves.

When Millennium Queen graced our ears, Australia agreed the Members were here to stay. Charting at #13 on Spotify Australia’s Viral 50, the wildly popular debut was followed by the swirling funk of Semiotic Vision, and the upbeat Velcro, reminiscent of the Beach Boys’ heyday – if that beach was located somewhere in Melbourne’s southeast. Now it’s 2019, and it’s high time to expand the community.

From the groups beloved duet with Tamara Dream on the hit single Only Friend, to working with artist and director Giulia McGauran on their visuals, the Approachable movement extends beyond the music – the Approachable Members know collaboration is key to a successful community.

Whether it’s touring with Joyride, writing with the likes of Japanese Wallpaper and Alex Lahey, or continuing their community-widening Australian tour, there’s plenty coming up on the Community calendar. Working out of a brand new studio, they’re excited to be able to get their hands dirty producing their own new tunes and plan the next approachable experience.

If you like getting a little bit drunk with your Grandma at Shabbat dinner, matching your outfit to your best friends, and deeply funky grooves, you might be a great addition to the team. Whatever you come for, Approachable Members Of Your Local Community just want to make you feel at home, and share their little slice of suburban paradise with you.

Why not join them at their next show for a cathartic boogie, and as the crowd sways from side to side, lost in a groove, don’t forget to stay safe, and stay approachable.

For all the climates and cities that bring people together, the boys in A R I Z O N A came together as a trio in an apartment in Boston, their makeshift studio the counterweight to the lofty halls of East Coast music scholarship. In a string of infinite sessions during their time at both Berklee College of Music and Emerson College, Nate (guitar) hopped on a session with David (keys) and Zach (vocals), and all the moving pieces came together in a way that would reincarnate itself in many different fashions before eventually becoming the group now known as “A R I Z O N A”.

 The three songwriter/producers from Jersey shared an obsession with the far left, sometimes even obscure side of music, but were even more romanced by the brutal honesty of pop topline and lyrics. Their music - including “I Was Wrong,” “Where I Wanna Be,” “Let Me Touch Your Fire,” and “People Crying Every Night” - creates new shapes and boundaries to span genres, time periods and styles, all focusing on the naked human tropes contained in the traditional pop narrative: love, loss, the need for raw unhinged expression.  

The years and cities came and went, and it took until just last year for these old friends to point their focus finally inward. Thus, the band was formed, and they were no longer just the writers or producers; they were the performers. Over the past few months, the trio’s music has incited an exponentially upward curve of massive fan engagement and early success with tens of millions of streams across Soundcloud, Spotify, YouTube and more. A R I Z O N A joined the social savvy co-conspirators at Atlantic Records and Artist Publishing Group at the close of 2015 and are currently working on their debut album.
They're currently working on their debut EP to be released in 2016.
