Rivet are a two-piece
alternative rock band from
Melbourne,
Australia. They formed in January 1999 under the name of
Catatonic, with a very '
pop' sound. The line-up consisted of Luke Goudge on
keyboards and vocals, Stephen Prescott on
guitars, Kieron Armatolos on
bass and Thom Schreuder on
drums.
Soon after forming, Luke left the band, the keyboards were dropped and Stephen took over on lead vocals. Rivet took on a darker, heavier sound at this point. Distortion and drop-D tunings became standard fare.
Approximately a year later, Kieron also left the band, to become a grown-up. Now the line-up is solely Stephen and Thom. After a period of inactivity, Rivet recorded a new demo at Audrey Studios, Richmond (tracks available at http://www.mp3.com.au/rivet/) and began again. Doesn't sound like the end of the story, does it?
