Led by singer/songwriter Liam McKahey, this exceptional band delivers songs of love, loss, trains, treachery and opiates. Previous to forming the Bodies, McKahey fronted the UK-based Cousteau that released three critically acclaimed albums and sold tens of thousands of albums worldwide, achieving coveted gold status in Italy. After the release of the first Liam McKahey and the Bodies album “Lonely Road” , McKahey immigrated to Australia from England and reformed the Bodies with some of Australia’s finest musicians:Niall Howe, John Coates, Jenny Spear, Alex Ross and newest member Pete Velzen (drummer of the Falling Joys, Gadflys and formerly the Plunderers).
