The Butterfly Effect

Singer Clint Boge, guitarist Kurt Goedhart, bassist Glenn Esmond, and drummer Ben Hall co-founded Australian hard rock quartet The Butterfly Effect in Brisbane, in 2001. By year's end the group issued its self-titled debut EP, which quickly entered steady rotation on Triple J and eventually sold in excess of 10,000 copies, thanks also to The Butterfly Effect's relentless tour schedule. After scoring a mainstream hit single with “Crave”, the band began work on its first full-length effort, issuing Begins Here in mid-2003. The album debuted at number 24 on the Australian charts, galvanised by the hit “Always.” The Butterfly Effect's 2006 sophomore effort, Imago, proved even more successful, yielding the Top Ten hit “A Slow Descent”. In 2008 they embraced self-imposed solitude in the sanctuary of NSW's Grove Studios with producer Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Full Scale) and recorded their third LP, titled Final Conversation of Kings.The album was released on September 20, 2008, and debuted at #3 on the ARIA charts. After their successful sold-out tours at the end of 2008, the band joined the national 2009 Big Day Out tour with the likes of Neil Young, The Prodigy, Bullet for My Valentine and The Ting Tings.
