Edit history

Aidan John is a Perth based multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter. Aidan's songs are direct, gentle, rich and a far cry from the crushing noise of his drumming work in Adelaide post-rock and punk acts such as The Burning Sea and Bad Girls of the Bible. This quieter side of song expression for Aidan is inspired artists such as Frightened Rabbit, Elliott Smith, Sparklehorse, Lou Barlow and Smog. In this way, Aidan John’s music seeks the beauty and intensity of uncomplicated arrangements and layered vocals while another part of Aidan’s brain is busy building screeching noise. Aidan is an independent and often self-recording artist. Aidan’s music creation and recording spaces are typically the houses and shed’s he’s lived in across Perth, Adelaide, and Glasgow. Aidan John performances are conversational, engaging, and are opportunities to connect through music about themes of love, loss and notes to self.
