a high energy entertainment experience, bringing pure rock back to town.
Formed in April 2003 by ex-members of Monkey Puzzle, the Learn and Saliva
Twist,
Sideshifter are bringing their combined experience to form a fierce force
in the world of rock!

Although
the band was not official until April 2003,the band took it's name from a
song that was written by fellow Kiwi band Pushkin about an incident involving
Tyson back in 1996. Early versions of the band have been giging and jamming
since 1997, including shows at the Wellington Planet X event in November 2002.
Sideshifter
has retained sponsorship from previous Monkey Puzzle contracts
including Oakley, Durex and Gisborne Gold.

Frontman
- Danny Rodda / Bassist - Tyson Hill / Drummer
- Tony 'Mongo' Breese
Danny - His reputation precedes him most of the time... word of his
energetic and deliciously crude stage antics are
legendary in NZ and Australia both. There is also an urban legend about the
size of his.... *cough* (y'know!).
Danny was the founder of succesful NZ rock group Monkey Puzzle. Monkey Puzzle
still command quite a crowd,
so if you ever get the chance to catch 'em, you really should.
Tyson - little is known about this illusive bassist... although there
is disturbing footage out there showing exactly how long
this guys tongue is...
Mongo - Unlike Animal off the muppets, this guy doesn't flail as much,
however he plays loud... and that's all that matters...
