Past Present are a 3-piece Punk/Hard Rock band based in Shepparton, Victoria. Formed in November 2011, which is about the same time that the Slade brothers picked up their instruments for the first time, they have experimented with many different lineup formats, including a bass and drum 2 piece, which is how they played a lot of their live shows & recorded the majority of their debut album, but the decision was made in September 2015 to acquire Kade Hartley on Bass to stay in the official lineup, to adapt with their new and improved comprehensive songwriting. Bailey then moved to playing guitar to adapt to the changes. Past Present are starting to make waves in Victoria with their huge live sound, and fantastic overall live performance, scoring support slots with the likes of Clowns, Clint Boge, Captives, Sisters Doll, Arcane Saints & Bareback Titty Squad. "I've actually caught these guys live twice now and both times they turned the audience in on their ears. I couldn't get over the slamming, the dancing, the moshing that these guys inspired, great great young band. If you've got the energy for some great rock and roll and who hasn't, check out Past Present" (Mick Griffin, host of 'Rock Bottom' radio program on 106.7 Phoenix FM Bendigo and live music promoter for the MusicMan Megastore Bendigo) "Killer work dudes! Keep it up. Hearing some Iggy and The Stooges in there! which is always rad. CAC" (Melbourne 3 Piece Alternative Rockers 'Calling All Cars' SoundCloud review, of our song 'Serenity')
