Edit history

Pet Rhino is a four piece alternative rock band based in Gold Coast, Australia. Pet Rhino is a mix of alternative/indie rock that displays elements of surf rock while possessing a cinematic indistinguishable sound. Forming in August 2021, with members - Samuel Goff (Lead Guitar), Saxon Smith (Bass) and Kairo Smith (Lead Vocals + Rhythm Guitar) playing together since 2018. They performed shows along the South-East Coast supporting local legends such as Ivey and Peach fur throughout 2018-2020. With this band splitting due to personal reasons Saxon, Kairo and Sam had a period of two years to write, rehearse and plan for what was to come. In August 2021, Nick Taylor (Drums) was introduced to the band through a mutual friend and Pet Rhino was formed. 2022 saw Pet Rhino release ‘The Feeling You Miss’ whilst playing a handful of shows at staple venues on the Gold Coast and Brisbane. ‘Conversations’ is the first single released from their upcoming debut E.P. due out in April 2023. Pet Rhino draws inspiration from bands such as Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, Lord Huron, Spacey Jane and Royal Blood.
