With a collection of trashy rock songs, love ballads and sing-a-long pop tunes, The Government has quickly found a place on stages all over Perth and Fremantle since their debut in mid 2006.

The pop-grunge outfit has garnered a place on stages alongside for high profile local acts (including End of Fashion, Day of the Dead and The Panda Band), and has been asked to support touring acts as diverse as Six Foot Hick and Van She. The Government have also run a series of successful residencies at Mojos Bar, where record crowds attended their midweek shows.

Not long after their first run of gigs, The Government headed to Studio Couch to record a demo with Sean O’Callaghan. Although it was only very early days for the band, the spirit of The Government was captured well enough to see lead track “Boy’s Job” get plenty of airplay on RTR FM, and even the occasional late night spin at Amplifier Bar!

Playing killer live shows is what it’s all about and The Government made the most of two big opportunities in February. They scored a spot on the Bakery stage as part of the WAMi Saturday Spectacular and took out the WA State Heat of the national Garage to V Competition, which saw the band flown to the national final at the Gaelic Club, Sydney.

The Government has been gaining a solid reputation for captivating rock and roll performances, and come up with the goods each time.
