Growing up in Australia's equivalent of Portlandia. Going to Bluesfest every year since the age of 10. Years of sleeping under beer(I hope)-soaked blankets on shitty hostel floors on punk tours. Wallflying the jazz scene and the swanky set that go along with it. Being ruthlessly and irreversibly addicted to finding new music online. Digging for vinyl.
These are just some of the things that inform the music made by Art Pleasley.
