OLDER The Band
OLDER have a passion for producing biting social commentary that takes a hard swipe at modern life. Jel Legg & Julie Legg produce music that is laden with antipathy for mainstream culture and is seasoned with an alternative point of view, wrapped up in a layer of respectability. They champion the creative thinker and the under dog yapping in the wind.
Being driven by a love for high-energy alternative rock music, their productions can be both simple and cinematic while their lyrics question everything and assume nothing. As a result of never being constrained by genre their albums are accessible to a diverse audience.
The band are ambiverts living away from people in rural New Zealand, happy in their own space and never more so than in their own Studio109. When they 'go out to play' they love to hang with interesting, creative types and engage deeply. Jel & Julie don't really fit in any scene, and they quite like it that way. Together, as OLDER, their 'inner child' is alive and well and they are proud to define their own space in the world of music. Read more ...

BAND WEBSITES
Does your band really need a website? Every now and then I hear someone say, “Websites are dead. You only need social media.” I couldn’t disagree more, though perhaps I’m a little biased. I’ve been building websites for over 25 years. In fact, the very first website I...
