Infusion
- Melbourne, Australia
real name: Jamie Stevens, Manuel Sharrad and Frank Xavier
That's not a knife. That's Infusion.
It could have been terribly wrong; three teens from Wollongong with a mutual love of David Gahan and Robert Smith buy synthesizers and early model drum machines with their Christmas money instead of guitars and start jamming not long after meeting in 9th grade English class.
Instead, Jamie Stevens, Manuel Sharrad and Frank Xavier, formed Infusion, initially formed with the desire to unleash their music on the heady live circuit of Sydney's rave scene. Years later to present, it has transpired into one of Australia's most dynamic live bands, playing as often in Melbourne as they do in Atlanta or Tokyo.
Australian cultural exporting has been occurring from the Infusion camp for the past 5 years: along the way, Infusion have played nearly every major festival the world has to offer; Glastonbury in the UK, Coachella in California, Roskilde in Denmark, Exit in Serbia, Creamfields in Buenos Aires. Foreign press have been gushing; with Billboard labeling the band "the very sound of here and now", Mixmag portraying them as "exciting, and funky as fuck".
Locally, the plaudits have rolled in for Infusion's two albums: the first, Phrases and Numbers, saw their second ARIA Award nomination and three wins at the Dance Music Awards, and spawned the cinematically electro classic Spike. It was their second, however, Six Feet Above Yesterday, that sent the invites to award ceremonies pouring in: winning two ARIA Awards for Best Dance Release (the single Girls Can Be Cruel and the album proper the next year), international releases in Japan, Brazil, USA, Finland, Germany, Denmark and the UK, and being crowned one of the Top 50 Albums of 2004 by Rolling Stone. Remixes and other production work have poured in for Infusion; they guested on Junkie XL's massive international album, Broadcast From Computer Hell Cabin, and were personally asked for a remix on The Cure's classic The Walk, via an email from Robert Smith. They've just finished their first film score work on a 2007 scheduled released film, Right Here Right Now, and will start on another before the end of the year.
Currently working on their third album in country Victoria, taking a break from their usual no-sleep-til-stardom schedule, Infusion have their eyes on the future.
