Born in Narrabri and raised in Moree in country New South Wales, Drew McAlister grew up listening to Bryan Adams, Noiseworks and Slim Dusty and started singing at age 7. One of four children, after finishing school at the age of 18, Drew decided to take his music ability seriously and left the country for the dazzling lights of Sydney. He immediately picked up session work for major brand television and radio jingles. During the next few of years, Drew continued to write his songs, performed in many different bands and appeared on ?The Midday Show? and ?Hey Hey It?s Saturday? numerous times. Drew then toured Australia with the production of ?Jesus Christ Superstar?, before eventually landing a recording deal with EMI.
Tommy Funk started dj in about 8 years ago under the name dj2fic. His experience was going alongside to all different house parties, where he picked up certain skills such as reading a crowd and knowing what to play for that crowd. He soon turned what he was taught into his own style.
He has had past experience as a radio announcer on 2RDJ 88.1FM. There he first shared a show with Troy T and later on hosted his own show for a couple of years.
He mainly played in the house party scene but in 2005 Tommy made the transition to nightclubs.
In March of 2008 Tommy took a chance and ventured of into promoting. He started his own night, Evolution @ the pink pepper lounge. The opening night was a huge success with 350 people packed into a venue that only fits 200. The event continued its success for almost a year until January of 2009 where Tommy decided to end this event and concentrate on dj in.
Tommy specialises in all types of music from House to R&B to 80s and even retro and 60s and 70s style music. This has helped his dj in ability because he has knowledge of all types of music.

Chase The Sun cancelled tonight’s
Chase The Sun has been cancelled tonight’s as the guitarist has broken his hand ,sorry to cause any inconvenience chase the sun replace there selves with Ray Beatle Band and there will be another date for chase the sun coming soon.
Sydney based Chase The Sun formed in 2006; and in the time since have seen their star rise steadily, making a definite mark on the Australian Blues & Roots music scene.
“Sometimes a trio comes along and impresses with their sheer power, dexterity and originality...This is the sort of band you can put anywhere, from beer barn to amphitheatre, and they will win people over...Chase The Sun have put their own stamp on the blues and roots genre and, quite simply, there isn’t a weak moment on their debut release” Drum Media Nov 07.
Chase The Sun has also established themselves as a must-see live act through an increasingly hectic touring schedule in venues and at festivals all over Australia. From the powerhouse live delivery of guitar star-on-the-rise Jan Rynsaardt, to the soul-tinged song writing, combined with elements of old-school acoustic blues, Stevie Ray Vaughn boogie, hillbilly finger picking and Hendrix flash; this three-piece crank out a new take on a classic sound. The word on Chase The Sun is spreading rapidly.
Jan, Ryan Van Gennip and Jon “Howler” Howell met after an acoustic jam session in Sydney’s west and their chemistry was instantly phenomenal. Clicking into action immediately, Chase The Sun were in a studio in Sydney’s Blue Mountains to record an album within days of meeting. The Album “Chase The Sun” was released independently in October 2007 and features Rynsaardt’s renowned frenetic guitar playing whilst allowing the more sensitive side of his song writing to shine through.
Jan (pron. yarn) Rynsaardt has been strumming strings since the age of 7 and was into the heavy guitar sounds of AC/DC and Metallica since the first grade.
