“a fun and charmin’ ride to be on.”
- Claire Mooney, Triple J
Why should I care about THE CLEVER REFERENCES?
What if Fleetwood Mac was also They Might Be Giants?
THE CLEVER REFERENCES blend nostalgic harmonies with quirky, brainy lyrics that make you laugh and think at the same time. With infectious melodies and layered instrumentation, they channel the emotional depth of classic rock while playfully subverting expectations with tongue-in-cheek wordplay.
Their live shows are a rollercoaster of feels and fun, leaving you humming their hooks long after the music stops. Clever, catchy, and just a little chaotic, THE CLEVER REFERENCES are here to make you dance, laugh, and maybe even question reality—one song at a time.
What makes
THE CLEVER REFERENCES
different?
In a pop music landscape that's increasingly turning textural and sarcastic, The Clever References are fighting back with their clear-eyed and sincere lyricism as well as musical choices that are dare we say it...clever?
Ash, Sam, Janset, Kath and Vidusha still have a lot to prove but with singles such as "Tell Ben Kate'' and "PAPER MAGIC" they are eager to meet any challenges along the way head on!
I mean, like, are they good lol?
Listen for your self Randomny Rantano :p
But for real tho, the music speaks for itself…
Holy snap! This band might be the new Beatles?!
Ha ha ^.^; I wouldn’t go that far.
More like the next Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer, at most Fountains of Wayne, but we’ll see…
Critical assessments aside, whatever their potential is, it’ll be a heck of a whole lotta fun to see where they get up to next!
