Cheap Fakes are a much loved six-piece live band from South East Queensland’s music scene, ready to unleash their pop infused, brass fuelled funk and ska sounds to audiences across the country. 

With two well received albums to their credit (2010’s ‘Stones & Sticks’ and 2012’s ‘Hand Me Downs’) and a resume littered with countless national supports (including The Black Seeds and Kora), as well as local billing with Cody Chesnutt, Charles Bradley, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies and Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Cheap Fakes are a force to be reckoned with. 

2015 is shaping up to be the bands biggest year yet as they prepare for the release of their third longplayer, ‘Modern Vintage’. Recorded with Grammy nominated John Merchant (Michael Jackson, Lenny Kravitz, Bee Gees and Barbara Streisand) Cheap Fakes brought the American producer out to Australia for the ‘Modern Vintage’ sessions at world class Heliport Studios. 

You can expect to find Cheap Fakes at any number of live venues as they build momentum ahead of the winter release of the new album. And with the band having already graced the stages of Valley Fiesta, Caloundra Music Festival, Big Pineapple Music Festival, Island Vibe, Golden Days and more, next summer looks like reaping a bumper crop for the dapper dressed lads who currently call Brisbane home. 

Woodlock comprises of three members; Kiwi brothers Zech and Eze Walters on guitar/vocals and their mate Bowen Purcell providing the percussion. 
Zech, Eze and Bowen formed a strong friendship after meeting whilst travelling overseas, from there, Woodlock was born.
They relocated to Australia and after a short stint of writing and playing the trio bought a caravan, fixed it up, somehow got it registered and took off on an adventure up and down the east coast taking their music with them to the streets of both rural and capital cities.
After captivating crowds in the streets they found themselves in a recording studio and before they knew it they had an EP in their hands, titled ‘Lemons’.
Woodlock have worked hard to perfect the sounds crafted in the studio to a live setting. Focusing on strong, energetic and creative live shows to take their performance to the next level. 
Now based in Melbourne, the boys have gained some great recognition and created a strong following from tirelessly busking at every corner of the Melbourne CBD.
Woodlock released their second EP titled ‘Labour of Love’ in 2014, produced by Wayne Connolly (Josh Pyke, The Vines). ‘Labour of Love’ made it into the top 100 in the ARIA charts as well as charting on iTunes. They’ve also sold around 25,000 EP’s independently. To celebrate, they took off on a huge tour across the country selling out three Shebeen shows in Melbourne and selling out rooms all the way up the east coast including Black Bear Lodge in Brisbane. 
The boys have just finished recording ‘Sirens’ with Andy Mak at The Grove Studio’s in NSW, and also have a huge tour to boot. 2015/16 is setting up to be the year of Woodlock!
