Radio Spectacular!!!
Genre: Pop, Electronic
Region: Adelaide, SA
Members: Harry - piano, guitar, drums, vocals, production Phebe - vocals, percussion, melodica, keyboards / synth
Influences: Queen, The Polyphonic Spree, Toto Coelo

Phebe and Harry met in 2005 on MySpace and five months later Harry had moved from Bundaberg to Adelaide so they could be together. Harry had been in Brisbane hardcore band Slain of Myself and was a keen piano and guitar player. Phebe had no previous musical endevours, other than the few years of recorder she did in primary school. As a joke they wrote and recorded a few indie pop songs and put them up on Harry's music page (www.myspace.com/harrywhizkidmusic) but after getting a bit of attention they decided to get a bit serious and created Radio Spectacular!!! in 2006.

They did their first gig in 2007 after getting air play on community radio stations like Adelaide's Three D. They have played with the likes of Kid Confucius, That 1 Guy (usa), Uni And Her Ukelele (usa), Lovers Electric and The Blow Waves. They independently recorded their first EP called 'Extended Play' which was reviewed by local magazine 'Excitement Machine' and described as " ... one of the best pure pop recordings we've heard in years. And oh my god, is that a recorder?". They have also been included on a few compilations including Three D Radio's Depthcharge 6 release, Excitement Machine's A Pretty Exciting Xmas CD as well as others from Japan and the United States.

They have been spotlight artists on the Triple J Unearthed website twice and "Vintage Piano" received radio play on Triple J. "Ghosts and Ghouls" was also played on ABC2 as part of a Triple J Unearthed program.

In recent news, Radio Spectacular!!!'s track You Light Me Up is currently being used for the Australia-wide Canon Ixus television commercial and they plan on releasing their new EP by the end of the year.

Harry was also one half of synth-pop Adelaide duo School of Two with Jason Sweeney of Mist and Sea and Prettyboy Crossover.
