Art Of Fighting Biography
Emphasizing a pop of relaxed melodies and complex structure is the trademark sound of Sydney's Art of Fighting. Debuting in 1995 with the collaboration of Ollie Browne (guitar/vocals), Peggy Frew (bass/vocals) and Cameron Grant (drums), the band would spend the next three years gigging throughout Southeastern Australia as a three piece. After contributing to the Au-Go-Go Records compilation Wonder From A Quarter Acre, Half-A-Cow Records debuted their first mini-album The Very Strange Year in 1998. Guitarist/ trumpeter Miles Brown soon joined the Art of Fighting after the release of their second mini-album Empty Nights in 1999. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
