 Biography

The Latonas are an expansive four-piece Indie Rock band known for their
exciting live shows. In demand throughout the Aussie Music scene, the band
seamlessly blends catchy guitar melodies, explosive drums, and a three pronged
vocal line up that delivers songs that get you dancing and stay stuck in your
head for days.

The Latonas were recently chosen for the Sonicbids Artist Spotlight. As
Sonicbids hosts more than 200,000 artists on their website, being chosen as the
Artist of the Week for a home page spotlight was both an honor and a testament
to the band's originality and talent.  News Limited also featured the Latonas
second EP launch on their front cover. Yes, News Limited is the Rupert Murdoch
paper MX in Melbourne with a circulation of 320,000 per day!

The Latonas have been booked thick and fast at some of Melbourne's iconic
venues such as The Esplanade Hotel, Revolver, The Evelyn Hotel, 161, Pony, The
Tote and the Builders Arms to name a few.  They have opened or the Iconic Tim
Rogers (You am I), Mark Seymour ( Hunters &Collectors ), Wolf & Cub,
Alpine, and New Zealand's biggest buzz band.. Midnight Youth along with rising
NZ band "The Early Birds".  They also took stage at two festivals: Sydney's One
Love & Peace Festival and the Scorcher Fest Festival held earlier this year
in Melbourne.

The One Love and Peace Festival in Sydney  was a great success and gave The
Latonas exposure to the music starved punters in Sydney , the enthusiasm
prompted founder Kaz Anderson to comment "the Latonas...well, the energy I saw in those guys on stage..WOW!

The Scorcher Fest saw The Latonas play in front of jumping, moshing fans at
the Cornish Arms they ripped through their blistering set.

Their song "The Morning After" from their first EP "Missiles" reached number
one on the UK Indie Chart of www.7161.com and
continues to remain there as of September 1st, 2011.  The Latonas have also been every successful on Jango Radio where in just a few months they garnered over 700 followers worldwide.

Currently, The Latonas can be heard on Internet Radio via, iRadio
(Indie103.1FM) in LA, Whotune, Rukus Radio, Indie Dial, IM Radio, Jango. On
Retro Radio out of Belgium, the band was named "Artist of the Week" in February
2011. The Latonas can also be heard on FM Radio on SYN FM and PBS FM.  New
rotation includes Triple J's new FM/Digital station and Triple J Unearthed.

The Latonas video " Protoro was also featured on Televison on Channel 31 and
was greeted with a great response!

Drawing inspiration from some of their key influences including bands such as
The Beatles, Kings of Leon, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, the Latona's have
developed  a very unique sound that is completely their own and resonates with
fans around the globe.

What sets The Latonas apart from their peers is the fact that their songs are
original, accepted by all and extremely dance friendly. Their EP launch for
Missiles in May 2010 and their 2nd Self Titled Ep Launch in May 2011 were sold
out performance that had the audience cheering for more and still continues
today.

Recently we released our 2nd Single in July which was played on Syn FM and
followed that up with our 2nd Video for "You know your wrong"  Be warned, there
is nudity, a bare bum on a skateboard!!

We also had been selected as a showcase artist at the annual KMC in Osaka,
Japan in September which which we had to cancel due to some personal reasons
which we were devestated by.

We were also pleasently surprised to be short listed for the Black Cat
Festival in China and we are on the Stand By list for Indie Week in Toronto
being held in October!  Of course we don't want anything to happen to any bands,
but we are ready to rock Canada if called upon!

The Future beckons.
