Katie grew up listening and singing to Whitney Houston and Barbara Streisand and always marvelled at their power and range. She sang in the school choir and local amateur musical theatre.
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.

They have proven themselves by their “repeatedly breaking” Attendance and Bartaking records, which they STILL, 7 years on, continue to do at venues like Castle Hill Tavern, G.Ws - Penrith, not forgetting the smashing of their OWN record at The Collector Tavern- Parramatta and The Fitzroy Hotel at Windsor,Free $ 10.00 entry after 8pm
What began as an invitation to “come sit in for a few songs,” has grown into a literal marriage of individual musical styles – Classic Rock with a splash of Country and R&B. On June 6, 1997, founding member, Kevin Crum, invited Tammi Smith to join him in a few songs on stage during a solo gig. The experience sealed their fates, and from that moment Kevin realized that his dream of marrying either a singer or a chiropractor could indeed come true. The Cover-Ups were born, and the beat goes on!
As you may know, we both write our own original music as well, so make sure you check us out Mandi & Katy xxxxxx Mandi Jarry and Katy Underwood make up the all girl duo Dollshay and have been performing live around Sydney venues together for the past 2 years.
Hailing from the Central Coast of New South Wales, Something with Numbers formed when friends Jake Grigg, Lachlan Scott and Tim Crocker began playing together in high school. In late 2001, bassist Scott Chapman and drummer Dave McBeath were recruited to complete the band current line-up. The bands moniker came when the suggestion their name should involve something with numberS was taken extremely literally.
Their formative sound was loosely emo punk. A six-track EP, Barnicles and Stripes, was recorded over eight months and released by Below Par Records in September 2002. The EP landed in the right places, most notably in the hands of a member of Good Charlotte, who had Something with Numbers open for their 2003 Australian tour. The support slots and CD sales kept on ticking over, culminating in the band playing the 2003 Livid Festival a year after their debut release.
