Bakers Eddy formed as teenagers in 2011 in Wellington, New Zealand. Led by charismatic Ngati Porou & Ngati Tuwharetoa front man Ciarann, the band of four friends (rounded out by Ian, Alex and Jamie) relocated to Australia and since then have built a live show that has become the stuff of legend. Carving out a niche all their own with a sound that straddles the punk and pop worlds, and a show that veers from chaotic to tender, Bakers Eddy make everyone who comes to their shows feel part of their whanau.

​

Bakers Eddy released their debut album, Love Boredom Bicycles in March 2022 on Ivy League. Recorded with Oscar Dawson at the helm, the album spawned the infectious singles ‘21’, ‘Concertina’ and ‘My Baby’s Like Cigarettes’ which all received spins on triple j and community radio. Having supported Maggie Lindeman, Stand Atlantic and Grandson, Bakers Eddy are ready to take on the world. Their forthcoming EP was self produced with Vince McIntyre (Fan Girl) and mixed by Justin Gerrish (Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, Weezer) and will be out early 2025.

 

‘Furthering the band’s pivot from grungy, pub-dwelling punks to summer-ready indie-rockers, the new song soars with a cruisy soundscape of dry, low-fi guitars, jangly tambourines and a warm, fuzzed-out vocal melody evocative of surf-rock icons like The Beach Boys.’ – NME
