Junior is a three-piece, acoustic driven rock band.
Bio / Background
jUNIOR are Justin Slater, Steve Pederson and Pete Arthur-three mates who began as a busking trio playing on Australian city streets and watching the passing parade. Their acoustic-driven rock songs convey stories of the everyday, reflecting the hope and tragedy of the human condition and told through rich harmonies and a captivating stage presence.
"We think of our latest record as a photo album. Even the artwork means something personal to us: the places we've been to, sections of the bigger picture. What we try to do with the songs is give people plenty of cracks to crawl into. It's not so much about your own life, it's about where we all overlap." Justin Slater
By melding an acoustic sound with the bare rock essentials (electric guitar, bass and drums, the occasional mandolin or piano), jUNIOR have crafted an impressive range of pop/rock songs that draw on their energy, passion, humor and experience.
↓ more ↓They are inspired by classic Australian singer/songwriters, and the sounds of American artists like the Counting Crows, Gin Blossoms, the Goo Goo Dolls and Ryan Adams.
"The songs are succinct, the musicianship accomplished, and the melodies singalong."

"Simply beautiful and beautifully simple"

TOURING is a way of life for jUNIOR. They perform regularly in South Australia, and frequently tour to Victoria, the Northern Territory, New South Wales and Queensland. Over the past few years they have worked to develop a national live audience. They have performed with Australian greats including Paul Kelly, Neil Murray, Chris Wilson, Things of Stone and Wood, and Renee Geyer. They have also shared stages with Australian contemporaries including Lucid, Those Bloody McKenna's, Merri-May Gill and Jodi Martin and the Unforseen.
jUNIOR play venues including The Esplanade Hotel St Kilda, The Cornish Arms North Fitzroy in Melbourne, The National in Geelong and the Farmers Arms in Daylesford. South Australian venues include The Grace Emily, The Gov, as well as Flinders, Adelaide and Underdale Universities.
jUNIOR have also appeared at festivals such as The National Folk Festival in Canberra ACT, Woodford Folk Festival Queensland, Port Fairy Folk Festival Victoria, The Victor Harbor Folk Festival South Australia, The Adelaide Fringe, Sea and Vines Festival McLaren Vale, and The Tour Down Under Willunga.
RECORDINGS are, in their own words, "jUNIOR's tribute to the passing parade, those who cross our paths and we remember their stories-from the weather-girl on an Outback television station to memories from a caravan park on Yorke Peninsula." Their 1999 debut EP Couch showcases 7 tracks inspired by a six-month tour through regional and outback South Australia and Northern Territory.
JUNIOR's first LP, Restless, was produced by Greg Arnold from legendary Australian folk rock band Things of Stone and Wood (one of the more successful Australian artists of the mid-1990s), and released in November 2001. Picking up where Couch left off, Restless traces the stories and characters found in everyday life.
"Remarkably heartfelt stories... this bands gift for telling stories of humanity at its essence is undeniable."

THE FUTURE is bright for jUNIOR as they prepare to take their music and tales overseas. While performing in Darwin, Australia in December 2001, they were noticed by New York City-based manager Vivek J. Tiwary, who was preparing to drive through the outback on vacation from the states. The four became fast friends. "I was struck by their passionate performance and strong songs. I soon discovered that I loved their album as much as their show, and that the guys are extremely hard-working and dedicated to their music". Within months jUNIOR were signed to Vivek's StarPolish Management. They are currently seeking a U.S. deal and building a U.S. base.
