Edit history

The Cliffords formed in 1998 in the way most bands do – a few mates at the pub who all played a different instrument. Playing a rockier version of the staple alt-country of the time, an EP ‘Moonlight on the Radio’ was produced by Pete Cicciari (Dan Brodie & The Broken Arrows) in 2002, and received strong airplay around the country. In the ensuing six years, the band played all the regular haunts around Melbourne to a loyal band of friends, and more importantly, fans. It all ended temporarily when singer/guitar player Mick Bourke travelled overseas for a couple of years in 2006. 2008 sees The Cliffords return to Melbourne with a bunch of new songs, and a hunger for the stage after a 2 year absence. Capable of filling rooms around Melbourne, they have secured the management of Justin Rudge at Hanover Studios, and are recording and releasing an EP before the end of 2008, with a launch tour to follow.
