SHE THE MONSTER

She the Monster's Indie Rock sound is influenced by Jon Foreman, Coldplay, Barcelona & Relient K. The band is multinational and is temporarily based in two locations - Abrams, Wisconsin (USA) and Sydney, Australia. Currently the band continues to write and share ideas over the internet and release demo tracks to its fans for the remainder of 2013. An EP recording is planned for January 2014 followed by a tour of the mid west (US) in the Summer of 2014. This band is held together by close friendship, an unwavering commitment to each other and the music they all desire to create.

She the Monster is Andi Peot (Vocals), Alex Peot (Vocals), Darren Oosthuizen (Guitars), Chris Calewarts (Guitars), James Lennox (Bass) and Matt Gusmer (Drums).

Andi Peot (USA), an exceptionally talented singer/songwriter originally met fellow band members Darren Oosthuizen (ZAF) and James Lennox (ZAF) at a College in Sydney, Australia early 2011. Andi subsequently joined existing band, 'Nova Sky' founded by Darren, James and drummer, Kyle Rutten (CAN). After 2 successful shows in Sydney, they decided to end the project due to personal reasons. After a short break away from making music together, Andi contacted Darren and James, who had continued writing together, and shared ideas around starting a new band, something that would sound a lot different to the alternative rock style of Nova Sky. December 10th, 2012, and the band which would later be named 'She the Monster' was born. She the Monster includes Andi Peots vivacious twin sister Alexandra Peot (USA) who's vocals and musicianship pair up with her sisters performance in the most unique way, Chris Calewarts (USA) (Guitars) and Matthew Gusmer (USA) (Drums). Alex, Chris and Matt reside in the small country town of Abrams, Wisconsin. Alex Peot was the only other band member whom Darren and James had met in person as she had studied at the same Sydney College in 2011. In January 2013 Andi started writing & composing with Darren and James and recorded a few demo's in James' home studio. Soon after, Andi Peot returned home to the USA as her Australian Visa came to an end. The band agreed on the name 'She the Monster' over a series of facebook messages and skype appointments. The band remains in 2 locations at present, with Darren and James planning to relocate to the USA in November 2013. ~ April 2013
