The Grates

Biography

Fromwikipedia

The Grates are a two-piece band from Brisbane, Australia, comprising Patience Hodgson (vocals) and John Patterson (guitar). They have been lauded for their catchy songs and enthusiastic and energetic live shows, as Patience spends much of the time bouncing around, even while singing. Their music is frequently described as "fun" and their sound has been compared to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Be Your Own Pet. In March 2006 they played at the South by Southwest trade music fair in Texas.
