About wheeleR
- Brisbane band of brothers, wheeleR, deliver a fresh mix of indie pop-rock featuring melodic guitar, meaningful lyrics and a healthy dose of teen angst. The band is comprised of the three Wheeler brothers, Knox (songwriter/singer/guitarist), Flaxton (drums/harmonica/vocals) and Xane (bass/vocals).
Despite the brothers having an average age of 14, they have had a very busy year, building a fan base in Brisbane, and independently releasing their debut single, ASAP, which won the National Youth Week, ‘RockIt’ competition (as judged by Marcia Hines), the People's Choice Awards for the same competition, and the Queensland 'Live It Now' competition.
Since their formation, wheeleR have appeared on national TV, won a number of competitions (local, state and national), and performed at a number of fairs, fetes and festivals including the Green Earth Festival and Light the Night. The band appears regularly at the Music Kafe in West End.
With their debut single on sale now, and plans for an independent EP release early in 2011, it is set to be a big year for the Wheeler brothers.
