Bites God is an upbeat, fun, busker-rock band from
Melbourne. Their music is catchy and melodious and
their lyrics are funny and clever. Their songs are
a mix of pop/punk/rock, with cool harmonies and lush
arrangements. They have toured nationally and internationally,
playing with The Whitlams, Deborah Conway, Dan Brodie,
Sophie Koh, Mental As Anything,
Vika and Linda Bull, Flight of the Concords, The
Scared Weird Little Guys and many others.
The Sydney Morning Herald calls the music of Man
Bites God "inspired pieces of wackiness and outrage
set to a sharp, jangly pop sound reminiscent of Britpop
at its
brightest".
Discovered in Melbourne in 2000 by Dan Brodie, Man
Bites God have spent the best part of a decade making
quirky, clever rock/pop music. Their new album is called
Peppermint Superfrog and it is an exciting mix of punk,
electronica, rock and pop. The songs are fast moving
and fun, with lyrics that are surreal, quick-witted
and quickly delivered. Check it out:
"Pop songs the way they should be - short and
sharp, with an energy that leaps out of the speakers…from
punk to electro, Peppermint Superfrog is a genre-busting
delight… like going 15 rounds
with pop heavyweights. It’ll leave you exhausted
and
exhilarated.” Jeff Jenkins (JB Hifi Mag)
Told you.
Man Bites God’s live shows are always frenetic
and fun. Here's what some lovely members of the national
and international press have said about them:
"endearing and harmonious... lunatic lyrics
and melodic absurdity works well and will undoubtedly
give rise to other acts singing from the same hymn
sheet... covering a range of styles from barbershop
through rock, folk and funk, the songs would have
Spinal Tap in a spin... these Melbourne lads can play with
more talent than many chart toppers"
- The Scotsman
"Their music is a smorgasbord of styles and
has lyrics that lurk in dark, satirical places...
intellectually crafted songs... Man Bites God packs
an irreverent punch" – The Age
"infectious rock melodies & a '60s boy-band
bent" -Adelaide Advertiser (AUST)
"decent pop songs aren’t often funny and
funny pop songs aren't often decent, but Man Bites
God are all about having the best of both worlds, with
their eclectic mix of tunes with a dark, satirical
edge" - Forte Magazine (AUST)
"gorgeous harmonisation... boyish charm... they've
gotthe right mix" - ThreeWeeks (UK)
"Man Bites God are the pinnacle of a twisted
sense of humour." – Undercover (AUST)
But enough about them... let’s talk about you.

good.
