BIOGRAPHY:

Having previously never worked with a band or performed to anyone except a select few close friends, singer songwriter Lee Fender returned home from gigs for more years than he can remember with a growing feeling of ‘this is what I need to be doing' and decided that it was high time to put words into action. An unorthodox approach to both playing the guitar and song writing made him an intriguing character to work with.  Andy Dimelow was the first to get on board.

Formerly frontman of 'The Quixotic', Dimelow headed South following the band’s breakup. Fate brought him back North and upon reading an advert for a guitarist to team up with an ambitious local songwriter, the desire to get back performing was as great as ever. With the addition of keen young drummer Cal Ryan and experienced Bass player Glen Sutton, 'Status Unknown' was born.

The debut gig was a poignant occasion for Lee. Not only the first time stepping foot on a stage, but a tribute concert in memory of close friend and fellow musician Andy Yoxall – one of the said friends he performed to behind closed doors. Andy had always championed Lee’s sound and urged him to take it further.

The band blasted through set opener ‘Run Now Boy’ and closed with appropriately titled ‘All in Good Time’, to a very appreciative audience. Fuelled by the positive reception, Status Unknown felt ready to progress and take their high energy sound to the road.

VANCRYNES is the musical alter-ego of Angelo Saridis, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer from South Gippsland, Australia. His music spans the genre spectrum with roots in early punk and post punk and a solid grounding in 90s alternative rock, his music fuses these influences.
" I sometimes imagine Paul Dempsey and Tim Rogers had a love child with Black Francis and Kim Gordon as the godparents and Johny Marr as the favourite uncle...somewhere in that mix is where VANCRYNES lives"

Exploring themes that are predominantly a shared introspective reflection, there is a happy sad dynamic and a nostalgic sensibility to all the songs.  'I'm trying to share what's anxiety provoking for adults...and show that none of us really have our shit together...but at times there's something beautiful about admitting our failings and insecurities'.

VANCRYNES is guitar driven, sweat soaked and authentic music that comes from the heart.

VANCRYNES is committed to capturing the immediacy of the songwriting process and moves quickly to capture songs as the moments of creation are fleeting 'I just want to get a general sense of the song recorded and move on to the next one.  If the songwriting is strong enough, then I hope it will carry through the more casual production approach.  My production is very loose'.  

Keeping it fresh and committed to the creative practice of songwriting, VANCRYNES sticks to a blistering regime of writing, producing and releasing with more than 100 songs completed in 2022 and that frenetic pace continues today.  'To quote the famous philosopher Lloyd Christmas...I can't stop once I've started....it stings'
