About Brother Sister
Sibling synth-pop band Brother Sister are a 3 piece group made up of Dave (synth & vox), Taz
(bass and vox) and Ben Thomson (drums).
Brother Sister grew up on a steady diet of 80s film and Saturday morning cartoons, which has been a huge influence on the bands sound and visuals.
“Our first song was written on our toy synthesizer our parents gave us for christmas “The Casio Rapman” and recorded onto cassette tape with our family gettoblaster…” said Dave Thomson.
Coming from a background of punk, hardcore, nerdcore they have all been playing music, and performing throughout New Zealand since high school.
Dave and Ben’s previous project, future-pop act Alex the Kid adorned star trek uniforms and steampunk attire on stage, whist younger sister Taz has cut her teeth playing bass in punk and hardcore acts such as Master Blaster and Club Stupid.
