Gotye not only has couple Grammys for his hit “Somebody That I Used to Know” but he is also the drummer for Melbourne cult rock band The Basics.
According to Music News The Basics never really broke up, Gotye’s solo career simple took off. The band has recorded four albums. The most recent include Ingredients released in 2012 and Leftovers in 2013.
“It’s been a great challenge nutting out how to bring a large band, visuals and studio compositions together for the Gotye live shows over the last two years,” Wally (aka Gotye) said. “But right now I’m looking forward to getting sweaty behind the drums and playing rock ‘n’ roll in these fab clubs with my brothers Kris and Tim.”
According to ToneDef the trio departed the live circuit in 2010, which gave Gotye his chance to try playing on his own. During the band’s downtime Tim Heath guitarist/vocalist worked on the film The Rise and Rise of Richard Latte while Kris Schroeder bassist/vocalist worked on getting better and took a trip to Kenya.
The band is set to tour Australia in September and October.
“I think of this tour and every possibility that might come out of it as a sign from on high,” Schroeder said.
