Bio

A good dose of rock'n'roll infused with airy guitar riffs, haunting melodies and lyrics that are sure to get you thinking, "this is ARKAYAN. "

Since the Perth rockers formed acoustically as a side project of perth prog/grunge rock bands Fractious, The Book of Lilith and Hashpriest in 2008, Arkayan have grown into an electrical smorgasbord of gyrating rhythms, malicious melodies and harmonies that sound like two dolphins wrestling.

Upon releasing their debut album "Away from the world" in November last year, Arkayan have spent their time expanding their fan base with a plethora of Perth based shows and a melbourne tour over the past 8 months. These included 2 support shows for melbourne bands Full Scale Revolution and Sydonia in July 2010 and January 2011. The album is currently available via iTunes.

Drawing influences from alternative rock / metal genres and alcoholic beverages, Arkayan come across sounding like a mixture of Bush, Porcupine Tree, Chevelle and a mexican wrestling midget all trying to ride the same Shetland pony.

With a live show as addictive as a super sized animal made from gummi, it would not be much of a surprise to find Arkayan in your house on a sunday having a peppermint tea with your mum.
