SHARMBER is an International Touring Sydney based rock band fronted by two powerful female guitarist-singers and driven by a solid seasoned male rhythm section.
The front line ladies sing like angels but play guitar like demons. The blasting guitars and melodic vocal pairing of the girls makes SHARMBER a very unique beast. According to Australian Guitar Magazine this pairing represents “the most impressive female guitarist/ rock singer partnership in the history of Australian rock.”
The male rhythm section empower the band's driving sound and harmonious colour and depth is added vocally by the drummer, who cleverly directs the traffic without over playing. Instead he plays for the song, with groove and conviction that cannot be reckoned with.
As a collective, SHARMBER writes brilliant songs and portrays mature song-writing diversity which enables coexistence with its intensely captivated audience. SHARMBER’s music could be played almost anywhere, whilst consecutively a left of centre approach is adopted, (a trick that few bands can pull off).
In the studio SHARMBER has worked with producers Tony Wall, David Nicholas, Daniel Leffler, Rick Will and Shane Fahey. SHARMBER has released two EPs nationally and its debut album is in progress. A punchy start to the album has been made at Megaphon and Sony Mastering Studios as SHARMBER won studio time in a live competition late 2008 presented by A Red Letter Day Events, in which over 100 Sydney bands competed.
On the road SHARMBER has shared the stage with Cog and the Butterfly Effect and recently accomplished an International Tour of New Caledonia playing 6 extensive shows at the "Live En Aout" Festival which drew 10,000 punters. International Emergenza Festival 2008 also placed SHARMBER in the Top 10 finalists ahead of several competing bands across Australia and NZ, dubbing SHARMBER’s drummer as “the best in the competition”.
