Bio
“Lyrical melodies, hard-hitting polyrhythms, EST/Tigran-style progressive grooves and no shortage of Aussie humour…” - Jazzwise
Brekky Boy are an Australian electronic psychedelic jazz trio who chuck things at each other on stage and occasionally play in 4/4. Giving up the dream of competing in the World Surf League, Brekky Boy decided to have a crack at jazz. Since then they have supported notable acts Snarky Puppy, Ambrose Akinmusire and have gained international acclaim touring the world performing at SXSW (US), Montreux Jazz Festival (CH), Montréal International Jazz Festival (CA), London Jazz Festival (UK), Jazzahead (DE), Saalfelden Jazz Festival (AT) and more.
Living on the beaches of Sydney, the trio has remained completely independent, releasing their fourth EP 'Seita' in 2023 which was praised by Jazzwise UK as “an in-your-face combo of heavy polyrhythmic patterns, majestic cinematic builds and fragile piano melodies.”
“Few greater joys exist than hearing something that surprises the hell out of you – like music did when you were 16. Brekky Boy does that.” - John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald
"With celebrity fans and a unique sound, this band doesn’t need labels." - Nick Galvin, Sydney Morning Herald
"A sublime Sydney jazz trio that remind me of Minneapolis’ The Bad Plus." - Dan Condon, Double J
“Brekky Boy righteously had one of the most well-attended sets at the OLG stage so far.” - Luke Pearson, Exclaim! Canada
