Edit history

The History of the band is perhaps as mixed as the music may appear to be, all the members of the band have worked with each other in other bands over the years though none of these had the drive or sound as the current line up. It was not until Matt Kelly, Tyson Stagg and Lucas Reay formed a strong three piece “partytrick” that the makings of illucid started to take a definitive shape. Playing with bands like the getaway plan, Kisschasey, Behind Crimson Eyes and many of Melbourne’s other great up and comers. The band took on a new face in early 2003 when an unfortunate incident at railway station saw Matt crippled and unable to play his guitar, the band employed the talents of lead guitarist Steve Rodrigues as a substitute and found that a new sound consequently emerged, the band responded with a name change and the birth of a new Era, the mould for illucid was set. illucid works much like cauldron as the properties of its various ingredients react and meld together to form one
