EST. 2016 WHALEHOUSE is a band from Brisbane, QLD.
Sonya, Amro and Zoe are eating spaghetti and playing punk BANGERS!
Loud, undeniable and ferocious WHALEHOUSE, (that’s one word, that’s all capital letters) are a six-legged trio of new wave-inspired, punk fiends who quickly pricked ears and turned heads upon inception. They’ve garnered attention for their energetic and ferocious live shows and have a reputation for leaving punters dazed and in a sweaty frenzy at the end of each set. With sounds inspired by Devo, The B-52’s, and The Beastie Boys resulting in a giant that smashes riot grrl with New Wave, a hulking frame of a house led by the screeching power of a mighty whale.
2018 saw the band release and launch their single “Sexy Whale Beach Party” and it earned #13 on the 4zzz Hot 100. They played along side Melbourne comedy trio AUNTY DONNA (Sold Out), Jeremy Neale, BOAT SHOW and U.S. band Iron Chic making heaps of friends along the way. 2019 saw the band hitting Laneway and is going to continue with them taking over the world with their new single. "The Bug Song” was recorded and mixed by Aidan Hogg (WAAX, Landings). It’s a radical track that makes your skin crawl (in a good way).
Grab your bug spray and your fly swatters beecause here it comes…in 2023 they played with the amazing OTOBOKE BEAVER at the Princess theatre (Sold Out) and taking their show on the road to the Big Smoke in January. Who knows what they’ll do next !! I don’t even think they know!
