    Sneaky sound system biog
    Arguably the biggest band in Australia right now is Sneaky Sound System. Their single ‘I
    Love It’ had the longest chart run in Oz history, their debut album has gone twice platinum
    and at one point they had four singles in the Top 40. They played the Antipodean Live Earth
    concert, supported Robbie Williams and won 2 ARIA’s. Yet Sneaky are not a hard-touring
    rock band or a manufactured pop act. They’re certainly pop and proud of it, but their
    background lies in their country’s exploding dance scene.

    Sneaky Sound System are Sydney trio Miss Connie (Connie Mitchell), Black Angus (Angus
    McDonald), and MC Double D (Daimon Downey), three very different characters bonded by a riotous sense of fun. Their origins lie in the hugely successful club night Sneaky Sundays,
    thus they make music imbued with frolicking nightlife energy but also flecked with sing-along
    radio-friendly 1980s electro-pop.
    Now Sneaky have finished their second album, working with Spike Stent of Madonna and
    Gwen Stefani fame. Like the Scissor Sisters, they’re a pop band whose heart lies in the
    swirling giddy party attitude of club culture. And like all the best pop bands, they’re a team of
    distinct personalities and roles. Black Angus, named after a corrupt copper from Oz TV series‘ Blue Murder’, is the musical dynamo, MC Double D is the flamboyant showman with a mic – “Better to be looked over than overlooked,” he says - and Connie, the quirky front woman whose hobbies include fast cars and robot-building, is quite the opposite of a diva. In a time of predictable R&B dross and Luddite indie bands, it’s refreshing to be presented with an ebullient outfit overflowing with such hooky choruses and colourful character.
