ABOUT BLOODHOUND IN THE HAY

Bloodhound In The Hay is an up-and-coming dreamy post-rock band based in Melbourne. We aim to create an expansive musical atmosphere in both the music we release and our live shows. Mainly influenced by Swans, 90s noise rock and shoegaze, we hope to combine these influences to create a sound and an experience that is unique to Melbourne.

MEET THE MEMBERS

Lead Vocals and Rhythm Guitarest

Russell Berry

My main instrument is the guitar, which I’ve been playing for 13 years. I also used to play trumpet in my school's senior band for a couple of years. As well as I play lead guitar for the band Nobody No Spirit. My main artistic influences are Jimi Hendrix, Swans, Death Grips, Frank Zappa, Neutral Milk Hotel, and whatever my weekly hyperfixation is. My main aspiration as a musician is to sharpen my skills to create music that is raw, honest, and unabashedly me.

Lead Guitarest

June Kang

My musical background is I started playing guitar at 13 for an organisation called Mini Musos in the Sunshine Coast playing covers of contemporary music, after playing guitar for 4 years in Queensland and doing a Cert III in Music Performance, I moved down to Melbourne in 2022 to pursue further music education. I've been playing guitar for 7 years at this point and I also play the bass and the drums. My main inspirations as an artist are bands who experiment with different sounds such as King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Death Grips & Xiu Xiu and my main aspirations are to be a professional recording artist not only as a solo performer but with my bands, to the point where we are officially releasing music that I am satisfied with personally, regardless of other people's perception of it.

Bassist

Nick Solomon

I have been playing Bass and guitar for about the last 6 years, I have also begun playing drums more recently. I play in 2 other bands The Schooners and Dog In The Dump Truck. My main inspirations come from blues artists such as B.B. King and Rory Gallagher as well as rock bands like Motörhead, Queen and AC/DC. But I also draw from a wide range of other genres like Jazz, Funk, Punk and Metal as well as many more. My main aspirations as a musician are pretty simple I just want to create my own music as well as jam the songs I know and love with my friends and have a good time.

Drummer

Jaxon Deneys

I've played drums for around 8 years, but over the last 3 years have learnt guitar aswell. I play in a localband 'Nobody No Spirit's and love going out to other local shows. I like alot of shoegaze music like superheaven & basement, and also some punk like Ramones, amyl and the sniffers, the chats, all that. Little bit of indie aswell like surf curse & beddy rays. My aspirations musically are to just have fun.
